Best Man Speech

Traditionally, the Best Man is expected to give humourous best man speeches and perhaps reveal some bizarre secrets that will have all of the guests laughing. However, I recommend a good mix between comedy and genuine stories that allow for the Groom’s best qualities to be seen. Do not be afraid to show a little emotion. All men have a caring side and it is nice to show this in your best man speech – if only to alleviate the worries of the Bride’s family!

The following quotes and excerpts relate to some recent best man speeches

Quote: ‘Andy. Tim and I have been speaking and we both decided that your best man speech was wonderful. It made our day. Thank you, Ronda.’
Ronda Shaw. Received via text message.

Quote: ‘You actually made me cry! I don’t even know you or the Groom. I’m just the photographer.’
Craig & Liene Armstrong’s Marriage.

Excerpts:

“Tim is a solid friend, someone you can count on to always be there for you whenever you are in need. Now that he is married to Ronda we can not only count on his unique friendship but we can also rely on the strength that she has to offer. Together they make a fantastic couple and we should all be proud to know them.”
Tim & Ronda Shaw’s Marriage.

“Craig was a perfect child, so perfect that my own parents used to say ‘Why can’t you be more like Craig Armstrong?’ – thanks mate! All joking aside... Craig, anyone who knows you well will undoubtedly agree that Liene is a very lucky lady. I have every faith that you will not only care for Liene in every way a man should care for his wife but also love, protect and make her laugh if the special way that only you can. Liene’s family must take great solace in the fact that you are now her husband.”
Craig & Liene Armstrong’s Marriage.

Useful Tips:

Does the Groom still have his favourite old teddy or blanket? Can you get hold of these to present to him during your speech? The same applies for carefully selected photographs that have been enlarged.
