wedding, best man, best man speech, child, son, 9, kids, celebration
We are getting married this weekend. My fiance’s son is the best man, and he wants to say something but doesn’t know what to say, and asked me to write up something for him. What is something “age appropriate” that he could say as a toast to his dad & new step-mom?

There are usually several different speeches given at weddings, but one of the most important and well remembered is the best man speech. Traditionally this follows the father of the bride and the bridegroom, so the guests will already be warmed up and ready for you, the highlight.
Too many times this speech turns into a disaster for a variety of reasons, including lack of preparation, nerves, and lack of propriety. However, this can be a funny and heart warming speech if the best man knows what he’s doing. Wondering how to come up with the perfect best man speech? Well, here are a few ideas to help you along the way.
First of all, when you’re giving the best man speech, it needs to be humorous, yet heartfelt. Finding the right mix between humor and emotion can be a bit tough, especially since men don’t really like to get emotional, even if it is a wedding. While you’re giving this speech, you don’t have to be too personal or emotional, but you should definitely put your heart into the speech.
Start of by brainstorming a few ideas. Think about how you met the bridegroom, think of any amusing anecdotes that you can safely tell in front of friends, family - and his new wife! Also think about why you like him, any bad or annoying habits he has - that sort of thing - to both flatter him and mildy humiliate him afterwards.You should avoid going over the top and be very careful of offending anyone. Remember that there will be people with a range of ages and different backgrounds, so if in doubt about something, drop it from your speech.
When it’s time for you to give your best man speech, you’ll want to stand up so everyone is paying attention. Usually you’ll want to open up your speech by giving well wishes to the happy couple and congratulating them on their big day. You may even want to congratulate your buddy on his great taste in women. This will definitely make the bride feel great.
After your opening remarks and introducing yourself, this is the perfect time to tell a few interesting and funny stories about the groom. However, they should definitely be appropriate for the setting, and you’ll want to avoid making mention of any girlfriends in the past, or you may just ruin the speech. Make sure that the humor you use is clean and avoid going overboard with the funny stories. No doubt everyone will enjoy a good laugh at the anecdotes you have to tell of you and your friend. Just make sure that the crude stories and jokes are not a part of your speech.
Adding some emotion and talking about your friendship with the groom is a great touch as well, but you don’t want to bemoan the bachelor days. Perhaps tell a few ways that the groom has touched your life and helped you out and thank him.
Keeping this speech short is going to be important. No one wants to hear you droning on for hours, so make sure you get to the point rather quickly. Remember, this is a speech that is not about you, but about the groom and the bride. At the end of the speech, go ahead and congratulate the bride and groom again and wish them happiness together for the rest of their lives.

The inevitable wedding speech. If you play an important role in an upcoming wedding (i.e. best man, bridesmaid, etc.), you will most likely need to give some sort of speech to celebrate the joining of the bride and groom. How do you prepare? What do you say? Questions start flying through your mind as the anxiety and anticipation slowly settles in. Stop the worrying. Wedding speeches are supposed to be fun, not tough.
So, how can you calm yourself down to write a good wedding speech? Here are a few simple tips that you can use for crafting and delivering your speech, so you will be prepared on the big day!
- Create an outline to craft your speech around. This will help lay the foundation for your speech, as well as keep you focused, so you are not staying on the same subject for too long.
- Search the web for funny one-liners, inspirational or funny quotes, and other jokes. Incorporate your own jokes and quotes into your speech as well.
- When delivering your speech, make sure to stand tall and use a clear speaking voice. Be sure to acknowledge your audience by using eye contact. If you are using a microphone (which most of you probably will have), make sure that it isn’t too close to your mouth, or else a muffled sound will result. Also, try not to be too loud or too soft with your voice. Don’t put your hand over the ball of the microphone, as it can impact the sound of your voice.
- Make sure you introduce yourself and speak briefly about your relationship with the bride and groom. This will help everyone understand who you are, so people can follow along with your speech.
Follow these four tips above is just the beginning. If you apply some of these techniques, then you should be well on your way to delivering a killer speech on the big day!

Here are five essential tips to consider when writing your best man speech:
1. Make sure that your best man speech is prepared several weeks before the day of the wedding.
2. Practice reading your speech a few times before finally performing it at the wedding reception. Read right through to a couple of friends before the big day.
3. Keep it to around five minutes in length.
4. Be careful not to offend anyone in your speech.
5. Make a copy of your speech in case you lose the original.
At a wedding the best man speech is a time-honoured tradition when he can tell all those wonderful and funny stories, even bring a tear to the best man’s eye, but it can also be a frightful experience especially if the best man really does not like speaking in public.
However, giving the speech is probably the easy part, delivering the speech is more of a talent and one of the best ways to learn about the delivering is by watching others ‘perform’. But there really is no need to fret, it’s a skill that can easily be learnt.
The best man speech is the perfect way to put the icing on the cake for the bride and groom on their wedding day and to share with everyone present how you came to be friends.
The speech can be made more interesting by adding some inspirational quotes or a short story and should also carry a message of congratulations.
Remember that the wedding day is a family occasion, so keep any humour or one-liners clean, also keeping any dubious language out of your speech is a good idea, remember a lot of weddings these days are video taped, you don’t want to look a prat for all time!
Give yourself at least one month to start slowly preparing by writing down notes on what you want to cover in your speech.
You owe it to the bride and groom, their families, and yourself, to present the best speech you possibly can.
Length of the best man speech is another important consideration. The ideal speech should be between two and seven minutes. Keep the speech short and sweet, and to the point, don’t waffle on.
A sense of humour and the ability, or at least the nerve, to get up in front of a room full of people and give a speech loud and clear is your objective.
Make sure if you are going to drink alcohol to take it easy until after the best man speech is over and you are not in the spotlight, it will be obvious if you get too drunk, you’ll slur your words or sway around.
People remember only a few things about a wedding; the way the bride looks, the ceremony and lastly the wedding speeches. The best man speech is a tradition at every wedding, and like all traditions, it has developed a set of rules and standards that are expected of anyone giving the speech.
If you aren’t naturally a funny man, then you can find some funny speeches or quotes in books, the Internet, friends and family.
If the standard of your jokes are along the lines of: ‘The wedding was a moving affair, so much so, even the wedding cake was in tiers’ then you probably won’t reach the required standard on your own!
Most people can’t deliver a successful speech without some help and assistance and one of the best places to get it these days is online, and, for a very modest fee Dan Stevens, author of ‘Best Man Speeches’ can help.

Trying to write a best man’s speech for my brother’s wedding, I honestly do not know the bride at all, just a few meetings at some family events, but very brief. I am a very humorous person, and people know me as having a good sense of humor.
