Title: Best mans speech Post by: Devon Red on Monday, July 3, 2006, 15:43:48 Had to do one at my brothers wedding in America. Bloody nerve wracking. Anyone else had to do one? Kept mine fairly short and the jokes to a minimal as I was so worried about it falling flat.

Title: Best mans speech Post by: RobertT on Monday, July 3, 2006, 15:55:07 Best one I've paid witness to was at my Brothers wedding. Best man got a speech of the internet and read it out (keeping the original names etc to start).
Began with something like "I first met Hans on skiing trip to Austria", carried it on using the real names and it went down a treat - added his own bits at the end to make it personal as well as stupidly funny.

Wasn't sure how far to push the limits

Title: Best mans speech Post by: reeves4england on Monday, July 3, 2006, 18:57:06 Simple jokes, praise and honest wordss (within reason)
Possibly based off something from the internet! That's how I would do it anyway Title: Best mans speech Post by: Bedford Red on Monday, July 3, 2006, 20:24:03 Quote from: "Yeovil Red" I turned down a best man thing because I couldnt hack the speach idea.Weak I know..I ended up giving the bride away bizarely. I've been best man once; but my mate had 3 best mates as such so shared the duties around. So I did the rings in the church bit; drove them off afterwards in a nice car; another bloke did all the organizing and the final bloke the speeches etc. We were all happy with that; the bloke who did the speech was excellent; I think nerves would have got the better of me if I'd had to do it. Title: Best mans speech Post by: Sippo on Monday, July 3, 2006, 20:35:50 My dad did a best man's speech once and came up with this cracker:
'I see marriage as a three ring circus. You've got the engagement ring, the wedding ring and then the suffering.....' :soapy tit wank: Title: Best mans speech Post by: swindonbob on Monday, July 3, 2006, 21:27:35 "If i could say a few words....................id be a better public speaker".
Brilliant Title: Best mans speech Post by: Simon Pieman on Monday, July 3, 2006, 22:55:35 I reckon I would be ok at doing a best man's speech from a presentation point of view. THe speech itself would probably be average-to-bad though.
Title: Best mans speech Post by: quinnismyhero on Tuesday, July 4, 2006, 07:28:20 The ebst one I heard was:
"I asked the vicar what his views were about sex before marriage [pause] and he said he didn't object to it as long as it didn't hold up the ceremony" The fookin look on the bride's mother's face was priceless!!! |
