Howdy, here again with more top tips on how you can get through the pain of giving the Best Man Speech at a wedding! I have done it three times, and everytime it became less complicated because I simply applied some basic ground rules. One of the key ones are, if you are not sure what to speak about, doesn’t whatever you do attempt to pad it out. Nobody wants to sit though 15 mins of waffle. Particularly when all they actually want to do is get to the bar! Also, if you are actually not confident about public talking, why would you need to subject yourself to standing there for that length of time?

In brief, keep it short, keep it simple, and keep it to the point. So what are the bare essentials that you have got to include in a good and short, Best Man Speech? You want to compliment the bride. Hopefully you like her, though not too much.

Hopefully she looks beautiful. That makes it much easier, but remembers it’s got to be a sincere compliment, and a safe, family-friendly one. Don’t go mad; otherwise it will sound like you are jealous of the groom.

Next, you need to point out some words about the groom. Ensure you thank him for asking you to be the best man, and it wouldn’t hurt to make a reference to the proven fact that you are not thanking him for having to make an address. After that, you generally need to tell a few stories about the groom. If they are funny, then the entire better, but do not attempt to force smirks if they are not there.

If your stories really aren’t funny, then be at liberty to add a couple of jokes, but there are a couple of rules here too. Don’t tell too many – it is a Best Man Speech, not a stand up routine. Select wisely – ensure the jokes you use are appropriate for family viewing. Try them out first, in part to be sure they are funny, and also to make sure you can tell them correctly.

Finally, you need to assert a few words about the bride and groom as a couple, wish them well, and talk about how satisfied and successful you are sure their marriage will be. You last task is to propose a toast to the bride and groom.

See, you are done! Was not so bad, was it? A short, sweet speech like that will last about 5 mins – easy on you and easy on the spectators, and if you are really not satisfied about the entire process, easy on you too.
