Best Man Speech Examples

Here are copies of two speeches that my boyfriend and I put together for two weddings that he was Best Man at. Many thanks to your website! <<speech1.doc>> <<Al Speech 1.doc>> > Joanne Dickson

Hi Many thanks to you all at 'hitched.co.uk'. I used your advice and some of the sample speeches to help with my speech and it went down a storm......mentioning three of the 20th century's biggest mass murderers even went down well, which should probably worry me about the standard of the average wedding guest in attendance!! The only advice I could give is to have confidence in what you say.......these people are much like pitbulls and can smell fear a mile away!! Or maybe that's just my friends........... Anyway, here's the speech: (See attached file: Loud Sigh.doc) Chee

please find my speech for my mates wedding My name is Carl slaney

Dear Hitched, Thanks very much for the help your website gave me. It was great to read all of the examples of speeches and see just how to pitch it! The speech I've attached took about 10 minutes to give, luckily with the guests laughing in all the right places! But the best advice I can give is just to read it out loads of times before the actual event - then autopilot takes over where the nerves are trying to cock you up and then it's over before you know it! This was for the wedding of Darren and Tracey Johnson, at Hazlewood Castle on 27th July '02. Thanks Mike Thorpe

Hi, Please see my attached Best Man Speech. I found your website very useful in my preparation and the speech went down an absolute storm. Regards Richard

Dear Hitched, Thanks for your help hitched. Was really worried for months but on the day got loads of laughs with this one. Even got congratulated by a guy in the ordinance that speaks public all the time. Bride & Groom were well pleased and in stitches with laughter - all the guests there thought it was one of the best they'd seen too. All thanks to you. Good luck to all the best men out there! Hitched will look after you. Cheers Again Simon Cooper Best Man for Andy & Angela Millard August 3rd 2002

Dear Hitched, Thanks very much for the help you gave me writing the speech, as you can see most of it is plagiarised!!!! My only advise would be to practise delivering your speech as much as possible- as the way a speech is read on paper, to how it is delivered is completely different - e.g.. some things I thought were funny written down didn't work when I read them out! Thanks again Hitched - don't know how I would have coped if I hadn't have found your page. Matt Holland

I was asked to be the Best Man in for a wedding in August 2002 and found your site invaluable in preparing the speech. Since making my speech, other than the nerves of speaking in from of a large group of people, it all went very smoothly. I have been told since that my speech was one of the best that the guests had heard. The only advice I would give to anyone else who has found themselves in the same position is not to rely on making a speech from parts of other peoples, but write your own and then add tried and tested one liners. This will make the speech flow more freely as you are speak

Here is a speech I made at my mate's wedding in July 2002. Terrifying experience, but not too bad once actually standing up! Feel free to use it on your site. Cheers Al Martin

Attached is a copy of the speech I will be giving at my brothers wedding this Saturday. Your site has helped me a lot!

Here's mine! Regards, Mark Birchmore
