So having to address a crowd with a short speech and the best man’s toast to finish is easy by comparison. Just be thankful, the Bride-Knights role in medieval times was to kidnap the bride. We also want to make sure the bride lets you see the groom afterwards. But this is not an open-mike comedy opportunity, you are a wedding ceremony participant. Yes, the expectation will be a rip-roaring gag-fest. This is not about you, this is about the Bride and Groom. You need to remember, this is not your day. The key is definitely confidence and a good balance of stories and jokes.įirst things first. By the same token, I have seen some memorable and funny best man speeches too.
I have been in the audience to hear some of the worst best-man speeches you can imagine.
You have to get it right the first time, the only shot at doing your best friend proud. What is daunting for even the greatest orators, is that there are no retakes. The wittiest ones among us revel at the challenge that is delivering a best man speech. There is a mild sense of relief being a groomsman for those that are not natural entertainers, as it is as highly anticipated as the first dance and throwing the bouquet. Every eye will be on you, and more importantly their ears. Of all the Wedding Day duties, it has the most pressure. The best man’s speech is a great honour but mostly no one really wants to do it.
