I have been to a number of weddings over the last few years and have heard
some interesting and different types of best man speeches. In the next few
paragraphs, I am going to write about some of the more successful speeches,
which may help other people when it comes to their turn to give a best man's
speech.

It goes without saying that most people will be very nervous about standing in
front of a room full of people and talking about the groom. All of the attention for
that short period is fully focused on the best man, which can be very daunting. In
my opinion it is a good idea to start the speech with a simple joke. If, which of
course is the hope, the guests find this joke funny, it will put everybody at ease,
most importantly the best man himself. After starting well, the best man should
gain in confidence, which will help him to deliver the rest of the speech in a
slightly more relaxed manner.

At a recent wedding which I attended the best man did exactly this. He was the
younger brother of the groom and started his speech by telling the rest of the
guests just how nervous he was feeling. He then stated that the speech he was
about to give would last as long as the groom does when making love. At this
point he sat down. This was a great start which most of the guests found quite
funny. You could visibly see the relief in the best man's face at the positive
response of the audience.

Within the speech itself you could have visible prompts to help you. This could
be in the form of photographs from when the groom was a child for example. By
showing the guests these visual aids, it helps to take the attention away from the
best man and can also add to the humour.

I often hear a best man describing an event from the groom's past. This event
could have been as recent as the stag night/weekend or could be some other
experience which the groom would have no doubt rather have forgotten. These
experiences and stories should aim to make people laugh but should be said in
good taste and should therefore not include any rude material.

Preparation is the key and it would be a good idea to practice the best man's
speech a few times before the big day itself. There is also nothing wrong with
bringing some pieces of paper to help you to remember what it is you want to
say.

I have been to some weddings where the best man's speech just never seems
like it is going to end. My advice would be to talk for between five and fifteen
minutes.

I hope the above gives you some inspiration and helps you in your quest to
deliver an interesting and successful best man's speech.
