The Perfect Best Man's Speech

Have you been asked to be the best man at a friends wedding? Are you looking for advice about how to deliver a good best man's speech? Are you getting slightly stressed as you are not sure what to say in your best man's speech? If you have answered yes to any of these questions this article is one which may help you as it could well provide you with the answers to all of the above potential problems.

I have attended many weddings over the last few years and often witness the best man worrying and stressing about what to talk about and about what to include in their speech. They may well have many stories to tell about the groom but are unsure as to whether they would be suitable to the audience etc. This audience of course is likely to include the yound and the old, therefore it can not be too offensive. The best man however would hope that this audience enjoys and finds his speech enjoyable and funny.

I am yet to meet a best man who has not been nervous. I myself would of course be extremely nervous in the same situation therefore I am not trying to criticise anybody. A few months ago I was invited to a wedding at which an old friend of mine was getting married. He had asked his younger brother to be the best man, this brother was only around twenty-one years of age and on the day was stating to everybody that he really did not want to stand up in front of the guests and give this type of public speech.

Despite these obvious nerves he ended up giving the best man's speech I have ever heard. In the past I have sat and listened to people who basically in my opinion just talk for either too long or who just talk about subjects which I had no real knowlege of or that were just not of interest to me.

My friends brother, when it was his turn to stand up and speak, rose from his chair and to start with stated to his audience that he was very nervous and that for this reason he was going to only speak for the same amount of time that it took his older brother(the groom) to make love. He then sat down.

It took a few seconds for the guests at this wedding to lets say get this joke, after a few moments most people were full of laughter. This very much pleased the best man who then relaxed and continued for around another five minutes with his speech. His name was Mark and if you ever read this Mark I have to say in my brummie way, fair play to you chap, you gave one hell of a speech boy!
