The Best man's
Speech
When it comes
to writing a speech there are no rules for the
presentation, your content or the duration.
You need to make sure that it contains Thanks
to the groom on behalf of the wedding party
and a toast to the new couple. A successful
speech will require a great deal of effort on
your part however with some help from our
experts and some fine tuning, you should be
able to come up with a flawless presentation
that reflects your personality and succeeds in
getting your point across.
Now that you've been asked to be the Bestman,
start making some notes. You may want to
write about something funny that happened in
your past or awards and achievements in the
grooms life. Ask his friends, parents,
business associates, even the bride to get the
most details or possible stories to use at the
reception.
Once you have
written down your notes, you should start
writing your speech. Start with something
funny or a story that would capture the guests
attention. Something that is about the groom.
For instance,
Our Pastor at our church was talking about dog
obedience and how he and his fiancé had to go
to the final class for the dog to graduate.
He went into detail about missing 4 out of 8
classes. On the final day, he shows up with
the dog, only to discover that he has to take
a test with the dog. He prayed that he would
have to go first as he was not aware of the
commands to use, as his fiancé watched. They
asked him to walk the dog, run the dog, have
the dog sit, ect. When the final test came,
the instructor asked the Pastor to "circle".
The pastor thought that it meant for him to
walk around the dog, however, it really meant
for the dog to walk around him. He had never
been so embarrassed in his life. We need to
say he graduated, but was a little embarrassed
in front of his fiancé for that blunder.
This would be
an excellent example to use about the Groom in
your speech. Once you've caught their
attention, use information about the couple
and how they met, end it with an encouraging
word for the couples future and Toast.
When writing you speech sure it contains the
following:
1. An amusing Story
2. Grooms Date of Birth, Even the Brides
3. Talk about his childhood, what he was like
and what he aspired to be.
4. Who was his first date.. first girlfriend,
first kiss, first real love...
5. What's he
like at work compared to what he like off work
hours.
6. Any
embarrassing stories about his past, something
funny he may have recently done.
7. When did
the Bride and Groom Meet? when was the first
time he tried to hold her hand, when was their
first kiss, where did he propose, how did he
propose, how far out of his way did he go to
propose
8. End this
with a Toast to their future and the hope they
will have alot of children together...
9. Wrap it
up with how much your friendship means to each
other and how honored you are to be not only
his best friend but his best man.
10. Send out
your final toast to the couple and wish them
well in their new life together.
