Best Man Speech??

[MLimpert]

Guys,



I'm the best man in a good friend's upcoming wedding. Could you pass any winning ideas along that you have used or seen for a quick fun speech? I'm kind of getting a little nervous about pulling off a brief but memorable speech. I need to embarass him at least a little bit, but it needs to be 100% family friendly. I've watched some pretty dandy ones on you tube in the last few days!



Anything you can pass along would help!

This is the speech my best man gave me.

"for an occasion. . (at first he pronounced this as "fornication",,then corrected)... For an occasion such as this, Id like to thank you all for being here to celebrate the marriage of _______ and _______.

I'm standing up here today representing the category for best man... It is an honor to be the best man but I'm not the best man, I'm just a good guy. The best man here is _____ _____.

It is an honor to be the best man and with that comes a role-- Writing this speech.

and to be honest with you, to make the process a bit easier, I decided to turn to the internet for some help. . . The obvious place seemed to be the internet and with a multitude of resources at my fingertips, I began searching the web.

After a couple of hours, I found some really good stuff- then I remembered I'm supposed to be looking for speech Ideas. I did find several speeches but none of them were about a couple named ____ and _____ living in ______.

_____ was born on ___Date__. I tried to link this date to some major world event but as it turns out, nothing else happened that day..... Although the Hospital staff still refers to that day as "Ugly Monday"

____ and ____ are great individuals and together they make an unstoppable couple. Their love for each other is apparent to each one of us today.

The great thing about ______and ________ is they planned much more than their wedding, they planned for their Marriage. i know if _____ models after his parents, ______ and ______, he will be a wonderful spouse for______.

And Since I am standing up here today, I figure I should give you some marriage advice... . ______ and I, we never go to bed angry, we usually just stay up and argue.

_____ and I have spent much time together over the past 24 years and doing so, we shaped our own and each others personalities. So if this speech isn't funny to you--Blame _____.

On a serious note, ____ and I have been great friends through the years and I am truly honored to be standing here as his best man.

Ladies and Gentlemen, raise your glasses to a wonderful couple, _____ and _______ ________

At a recent nephews wedding the best man started by saying "Mike told me if I did a good job I can be the best man at his next wedding. "

Her parents were pretty pizzed.....

Do not say anything about thong undies, especially if the bride-to-be is a 'big' girl.

Did you learn that from personal experience?!:-laf

 

[MLimpert]

watch "4 Weddings and a Funeral", the speech given about all of the grooms x/gf's beings dogs and about how many of them are there at the ceremony is great.

Just drink heavily beforehand and everything will be alright!:-laf

I gave one last year and ended it by saying something like this (as far as I can remember as I never wrote anything down, I just winged it):



"___________ you look beautiful today in your dress, and I'm sure you can't wait to get home and get out of it. (this got some laughs as the bride was known to be a little wild) And _________ you look good in your tux, but just remember that tonight whenever you get home and take it off, that today is the last day you will ever get to wear the pants in your marriage. "



Got quite a few laughs, from a family friendly crowd.

It works, i know from experience :-laf

 

[C. Harlan]

I have had to do several. . MAKE SURE YOU DO NOT DRINK TILL AFTER YOU DO THE SPEECH! Nothing is more obnoxious than someone who is drunk, and rambles on about stupid crap... Just mention some of y'alls past times when you had fun, congratulate them and wish them well on their new life together...

I was the best man at _________'s last wedding, and it's been said their breakup has been partially blamed on things I let out of the bag during my speech.



But I'm pretty sure ya'll already knew about that---right? (look at lovely couple and grin... ), so, going forward, _________ is a good man and believes everyone deserves a second chance, so I stand before you today ready to redeem myself. And, after last night's escapades at (insert local strip club name here), I'm pretty sure I need it. Not as much as __________ does---dude that redhead was all over you bro--but at any rate.....







Start there..... guaranteed winner. Just have an exit route planned out in case the father of the bride can throw a good punch.

[MLimpert]

Haha! I have just over one week left and counting.



I bet I'll get in trouble if I use the line about the strippy club. The local gentlemen's club was strictly prohibited by the bride. And so far as she knows, we didn't go for his bachelor party last weekend.
