Hello Just like to say a BIG BIG thank you to this website for putting myself (Scott Wright) and Alistair Phillips at ease on the big day. Your example speeches and tips on public speaking helped us out so much. Please find enclosed our speech from 24/08/02. Regards Scott Wright

Thankyou for all your help regarding bieng the best man. I am pleased to say that the day could not have been better. And my speech prooved to be very successfull with people I dont even know congratulating me. So here is a copy with names changed.

Shown here is my best mans speech I made two days ago. It went very well dispite my nerves - I hope anyone in a similar position can take a little comfort when I say it is not as scary as I thought it would be. Many thanks to all who contributed to hitched.co.uk - this resource has been invaluable. Cheers,Richard Moore.

Hi! You may wish to consider adding to your best man's sample speeches the attached speech I delivered at the wedding of my brother John and his new wife Sue on 18 August 2002. Without your website to guide me I doubt it would have been the success it was - thank you. Yours sincerely Martin Wainscott

Hi, I found you web site very inspiring when trying to write my speech, as I'm only 22 it was a bit of a task for me. I found myself to be quite nervous as expected. However against all odds I pulled it off and to be quite honest It rocked! I can strongly suggest that if your going to do a speech the props can fuel it immensely. For instance the comments that came back from the bride and groom on the Handcuff issue were excellent. Anyway a big thanks to your website for your help and I only hope mine will help someone else. Cheers Chris Calvert

Let me know if you put this my speech on your wonderful site, thanks for all your help. What can I say, enjoy the speech, which is the key to success! I actually lost my speech before I had to go and speak. I was not nervous, but was slightly annoyed at everyone coming up to me saying, "oh, you’re the best man? Nervous are you?" Just ignore what people say and enjoy taking the Mick. The speech is about ten minutes long and everyone was in stitches, especially the dog called SEX joke. If anyone uses the speech let me know how you got along @ jimmybutler2001@yahoo.co.uk All the best, Jimmie But

Dear Hitched this is the speech that I presented at my brothers wedding, as you can see most of it is plagiarised from some of your previous submissions. One piece of advice I would give is to make sure you present the speech to a neutral listener as the spoken word sounds different to that that is written. Practice in front of a mirror - get used to hearing yourself speaking out loud. Best of luck!!!! Thanks to Hitched you were an invaulable help. John Corr

I GAVE THIS SPEECH 0N THE 17/08/2002 AND IT WENT DOWN FANTASTIC I HOPE IT MIGHT HELP OTHERS AS HITCHED HELPED ME
