Best Man Speech Examples

Gave this peech yesterday and it went down well. Just thought I'd share it with you. Luke Ingerson

Here's my speech from Sat 28th July and please feel free to share it. Thanks to all at hitched, especially the example speeches. They proved to be a real life-saver. Although I'd seen other people's comments on the site, nothing had prepared me for how well this speech would be received. What a buzz. Rgds, Martin Poole

I did the attached speech just a couple of days ago for my best mate Sambo and I have to say it went down a storm! I found that taking the mickey out of the groom was a surefire way to get laughs-and luckily it worked. Cheers, Big Al.

Best man's speech I gave on 21/7/2001

I can't tell you how this site helped me! I printed out every single speech and in my opinion took the best from each one - there's hardly anything original here. Literally everyone came to acknowledge how good it was - there was a queue of people when I'd finished and all night people wanted to talk to me about it. Too many to put it down to good manners - at least that's what I'm saying! My speech was delivered alcohol-free which was hard. Perhaps a couple of drinks beforehand would make you feel better. Also - if you use the sneezing gag, make sure you use your Mum's fancy bra rath

Thanyou, Thankyou, this site was a Godsend! My speech went down a storm. I was basking in a warm glow of pride for days after. Thanks for the advice about rehearsing it really helped too! Adrian Davis

Hi, thanks to your site I was able to put together a great speech. May be others can use it as a sample. Chris

Hi Thought you may want to include this speech on your site. If it can help anybody else all the better. I found the site a great help, and as you will see, I used some of the lines from the example speeches. The day went really well, and although I very nervous, it went really well and got a good few laughs. The five pints of lager beforehand probably helped too! Thanks David Bradshaw

Thanks guys you helped me out so hope this might help someone else. Fergus MacDougall

This was the speech I used on 21/07 and it went down very well. I hope others can choose some bits from it as I did from the samle speeches on this website. Regards, Jamie Stranks

Dear "Hitched," I delivered the below speech on 20th July 2001 at my brother's wedding. I was very worried that I would forget the lines, or that the jokes would all fall flat. However, it couldn't have gone any better - I had to stop talking on three occassions to allow the audience to stop laughing ! Several people approached me afterwards to say that this was the funniest Best Man Speech they had heard (my first time too !). Thanks to 'hitched.co.uk' for allowing me to steal all the jokes from other people's speeches !! Peter Davidge

Hitched, Just wanted to pass along a word of thanks for helping me through delivering the best man speech. it went over really well and i figured i would repay the favor by posting the speech to your sight to help others. best. Alex

I thought I'd share my Best Man speech with you and your surfers. Your site helped me out a lot when I made this speech last summer. I'd like to return the favour. Neil Turner

Although a bit close to the mark at times, the speech was delivered to 100 people all of which I knew! It went down a storm! Thanks to hitched for the help & advice!
