be careful if you're gonna try and be funny. you'd be amazed at what people get offended by.

The only speech the best man should be worried about is the one the night before when he tries to talk the guy out of it. I wish mine had have, would have saved me a lot of time and money.

True story, the night before my wedding I knew i was making a mistake. I told my best man that and he said it was just cold feet. So I did it anyway, I dont blame him but deep down I knew i was screwed. I left it way to late.

On the way to the church I was actually hoping to get in a car accident so I could miss the ceremony! Needless to say less then two years later it was over.

Not sure what my point was...Oh yeah, dont do it!

That blows Todd.

Gator,

Keep it short, compliment the bride, thank the parents of both bride and groom, don't say anything that the bride's relatives shouldn't know or would be offended by.

Say something a little embarrassing, but heart warming to show your love for the guy. Avoid topics like the whores of Thailand.

Don´t write a speech just get wasted drunk and say whatever comes to your mind. If you do your job right, it´ll be a wedding everyone will remember.

Thanks for all the help, im actually impressed(suprised) by the responses. I have a little something prepared im open to advice

Everyone - please raise your glasses and join me in toasting Joanna and Kevin. As I begin this wedding speech one of the first thoughts that come to mind is... if I'm the best man... than why is Joanna getting married to Kevin? (Pause when people laugh) I guess because today, I am just an average man and Kevin is the best man. (pause) In my extensive research to find out how to deliver a great best man speech, I learned that I am expected to sing the praises of the groom and tell you what a wonderful guy Kevin is. Unfortunately, I'm a bad singer and a bad liar. (Pause when people laugh) Kevin... Joanna is a wonderful, beautiful, kind and good hearted person who deserves a great husband. Thank goodness you snapped her up before she found one. (Pause when people laugh) All kidding aside - I'm honored to be here today... I love you both and wish you many years of happy marriage. Cheers!

Im not gonna use that excact one, just as a template

not a bad speech. Just be prepared for people not to laugh when you expect them to.

Pay attention to details: make sure everyone can hear you, E-NUN-SEE-ATE, dont get drunk before you give the speech, keep it short and don't ramble on, and make it nice and memorable. I dont care what you think of the bride, the wedding day is the most important day in those 2 peoples minds so take yourself out of it for the most part and deliver something with meaning.

oh yea, and good luck

When Kevin asked me to be his best man, I asked him which one he was gonna marry. (pause for laughter) When he said it was Joanna I spit my drink across the room. I couldn't believe that the hottest dancer at BJ TittyBuckets was gonna marry my best friend! Kevin has hauled down some fine trim over the years and it's sad to think that he can only go out on the weekends from here on out. Hopefully Monday nights will still be cool during football season (pause for laughter) Joanna, you look so damn hot today, no one can even tell you are three months pregnant. You were so cool to get your friends to dance for us at the bachalor party, and don't you pay no attention to what that bitch Raylene says about what Kevin did at that party.(pause for big laughs)

Anyway, here is to a long life, I'm sure Joanne and Kevin and Joannes kids, Billy, Walter, Susan, and Tonwekia will all live happily ever after.

Cheers

I had one last november when my sister married one of my best friends.....

I wrote it about 20 minutes before I got in the shower to get ready for the wedding. My advice is dont worry about being funny and just come from the heart. Me the consumate achoholic was smashed by the time I delivered it and was crying by the end of the first sentence at the thought of giving away my sister. I gave them about a 8 minute hug after it.
