A wedding is a celebration of love between two people and coming together of loved ones, friends and family. It’s also one of the most stressful experiences for all those involved - especially the best man. Not only do you have to organise one of the biggest party night’s out on record - namely the Stag Night or Stag Night Weekend, you will also have the added responsibility of looking after the rings, ensuring the groom arrives on time and intact and last but by no means least, the dreaded Best Man’s speech!
Writing a Best Man’s speech is all about striking a balance - we all want to be funny and innovative, but if we try too hard we can end up with a speech that is offensive and a tad bit boring.
The most important piece of advice for any best man is not to get absolutely plastered before delivering your speech - it’s not big, it’s not clever and really isn’t in the slightest bit attractive - honest! Some of the greatest best man speeches are relatively short, prop orientated (trays and glasses) and funny for all present. Flatter the bride, thank the relevant people, i.e. Bridesmaids, Pageboys, make sure the groom can show his face in public again and whatever you do, don’t upset the parents - ever!
One of the most important things to remember is not to make unguarded comments about any afflictions suffered by family members. For example; try to avoid that story about the brides uncle - the dentist who is like a rhino - thick-skinned, and charges a lot! You get the general idea. easy does it…
Whatever happens, don’t suppose for a moment that you can please everyone and make everyone laugh at the same time - just so long as everyone feels that it went well, then you can’t ask for more than that!
A speech takes a lot of preparation and the more people who help you prepare, the better the speech will be. Try and find books like The Best Best Man’s Speeches which can be really, really helpful, (trust me). There’s a World Wide Web out there so make use of it.
