wedding speech, best man

[Shakes]

its my m8's wedding tommorow & im best man, but im having some last minute worries about my speech, :sad:
couple of my friends say its ok and the missus says its good but there gunna say that even if its rubbish, guys please read through & let me know honistly if theres anything i need to change reword etc. cheers

Well I have never been a best man before, and I am not renowned for my speech writing, But I’ll try my best,
''''cause Daryl said if I do a good job today, I can be Best Man at his next wedding too.
Well I don’t know where to start or how long my speech should last?
But A Wiseman once told me a best mans speech should last along as the groom makes love............Thank you ladies & gentlemen enjoy your day (sit-down).
Well it goes without saying Tasha looks beautiful today as she always does, she’s really been a great friend to me over the years, she’s a sweet, caring, kind, loving person, needless to say Daryl you truly have bagged one of the great gals there....she even makes great coffee.
And as for my best friend Daryl I’m so proud to be your best man, it’s strange I’m called “the best man” when really you’re the best man in this room. you’ve always been there for me for better and worse, when times are hard you’d buy me a pint or a quadruple vodka, whenever I’ve been in trouble you would never leave my side, you really show me what true friendship is about (raise glass)... so I’d like to thank you for that.
And to top it off your tall big built handsome & have a huge.....eremm...ummmmm sorry m8 what does that say mate I can’t read your writing?
But on a serious note dar the best advice I can give you is never forget to say those 3 little words every day for the rest of your life - “YOU’RE RIGHT DEAR!”
Well the marriage ceremony asks that couples take each other for better or for worse.
Well, Daryl, in finding Tasha you really couldn’t have done any better.
Tasha - you couldn’t have done any worse.

Anyway we are here today to celebrate Mr. and Mrs. Winkworths wedding day and I sincerely wish you both the happiest life together & I hope you get all the good things in life that you both truly deserve. I hope that you’ll always remember this great day for the rest of your lives id like say a big thanks to the gorgeous bridesmaids for all your hard work today, you’ve done a great job and have made the day picture perfect.
Raise your glasses Daryl and Tasha.

[HendyR5]

heard a story about a guy a know... his best mans opening line was:

"right ladies and gentleman i did have a few lines prepaired but i seem to have snorted them in the toilet"

the place just went completely silent, he paused, then said a few mumbled words n sat down!!!:laugh::laugh::laugh:

[Bass J]

[Nick k]

My mate used this one at the start of his speech.

"I Would like to make a toast to the two most important people hear today"

Everybody raises there glass

"Too the bar staff"

[Shakes]

[quote=HendyR5;157052]spot on m8 :agree:

"right ladies and gentleman i did have a few lines prepaired but i seem to have snorted them in the toilet"

thats blilliant pmsl dont think ill say that though:laugh::laugh:

[HendyR5]

wouldnt like to have been the dude that said it lol

you'l b fine m8, just remember n have a few sherbets to calm the nerves :laugh::agree:

[TNT ANDY]

Fine dude - No big insults, not too long either, take your time and try to enjoy the position you have been given. 3-4 pints should be sufficient.

I see you have used youtube for reference material and there is some good stuff on there. Someone once gave me a good opener which I did not use as I had mine all sorted went something like this.

'I asked someone in the know how to calm my nerves before saying my best mans speach, and his reply was to look around the room and imagine everybody naked'

At this point look around at each table 1 at a time and comment with whatever comes to mind. Whince, vomit, wink, 'how you doin' etc Be careful when coming to the hotty table, and don't forget to say hi to family members as you go by.

Be careful if there are children, or your missus LOL

But seriously with what you have got it will be fine.

Good luck fella

[D4WNO]

Sounds pretty good :agree:. Only thing I'd say though is right at the beginning, introduce yourself; his grannies great uncles cousin might have no clue who you are.

:laugh: me too! For my Bro!..

Nice speech....:agree:

[T.K]

Great speech. :agree:

[Kenobi]

go on kenobi.. put your speech's up I bet you packed a few good lines :D


A lot of it wont make much sense now. We were animals back in the day, we very nearly did a full presentation with a slide show of photos but it was cut at last second when his grandparents thought we were Quote - "such well behaved gentlemen"

I will try dig it out.

[Trevhib]

Nice speech there bud. :agree:

Dawn has a good point.

Also, the only thing I notice is that the word 'well' appears five times at the start of sentences/paragraphs, some very close together which will make it sound a tad repetitive. It would benefit from changing 2 or 3 of those to start the sentences with a slightly different nuance.

Good luck. :)

[Alex]

Sounds good :agree:

I was best man a couple of years ago for a pal of mine and my opening line was re how long the best man makes love for - exactly how you've put! It went down a treat! :laugh:

[Spooky]

This reminds me of my best mans speech, which was a lot more graphic than I ever would've thought :D :agree:

[Big Steve - Raider]

Sounds pretty good :agree:. Only thing I'd say though is right at the beginning, introduce yourself; his grannies great uncles cousin might have no clue who you are.

Yeah i'd agree with D4WNO there, you should really start the speech by saying "Hello everyone, i'm SH1TTER" :laugh::laugh: (Never going to let you forget that one!)

Great speech though mate & no risque stories to trip you up! :niceone:

[Shakes]

:laugh::laugh: cheers big steve.
