I wrote this speech having taken much inspiration from hitched.co.uk, so I am uploading mine in case it helps anyone else.   I faced a couple of unusual challenges: First, the reception was being held about a year after the wedding, a wedding almost no-one at the reception had attended.  Second, most of the audience only spoke English as a second language.  The language barrier was one reason for not attempting much humour in the speech.  The other reason was because I felt it would be easier and less risky to deliver a sincere speech, than a funny one.  There is some subtle humour and acta

Everyone at the wedding complimented me on my speech. The minister said he has never heard such a great best mans speech and it was exactly how a bests man's speech should be. I even got thumbs up from the father of the bride. This site was great help and couldn't do it without it.    My tips would be: keep it short, start by thanking parents, tell One story connecting you to the groom, one story telling how/when you knew the bride was the one and happy that she's apart of your family, one joke and one anecdote.. No embarrassing stories or mentions of past GFs or debauchery.
