Best Man Speech Examples

Hitched, Thanks for all your help.Here is the best man speech I delivered at my brother's wedding in June 2002. My advice: just have a couple of drinks, relax and practice practice practice. This went down a storm, if it a little corny in places...and there are always free drinks afterwards. Thanks Rob Pearse
