We’ve got a huge selection of real best man speeches to use as examples and loads of ideas and advice articles too!

Please find attached my Best Man's speech, exactly as delivered on the day. Hope someone might find it of use. I found the examples of speeches invaluable on your website, thank you. Not only did I pick up some good one liners, but it also helped me to plan the structure and length of the speech. The speech was obviously well received judging by the many words of congratulations received afterwards during the evening reception, unless of course they were all just humouring me! Many thanks again and keep up the good work with the website. Best Regards Andrew Bates

Guys Thanks for a great website which really helped while I was writing the attached speech for my best mates wedding. As you will see most of the jokes were ruthlessly plagarised from other speeches on your site, but no one seemed to notice and the speech went down really well, producing plenty of positive comments (and drinks) from the assembled guests. Please feel free to post the speech on your site. The wedding was on 6 April 2002 in Derby. Finally to anyone about to go through the same, good luck, and it is worth it (eventually) Thanks again Nick

Thanks to your site, the other best man and I (yes 2 of us) managed to pull off a very successful double act last weekend. I attach my part of the speech and a very useful poster which I had printed in poster size. Went down really well. Thanks Adam Slater

Hi, Firstly I would like to thank your site for helping me with both my groom's speech and best mans speech. Without it I dont know what I would have done. I have attached my best mans speech which you are welcome to put on your site. I had done this speech in August 2001 but only just got around to sending to you. I dont think it is the most original of speechs as some of the lines have been stolen from other speechs on your site but it went down very well indeed. Once again, many thanks. Regards Chris Rowland

Dear Hitched, I would like to express my gratitude for the invaluable help I gained from the content of your site last year. I thought it would be only right to submit my own speech, albeit six months later, for you to use, or not, as you see fit Regards. Michael Henderson.

Thanks for all the sample speeches - they are much more useful than any of the books that I bought. I was absolutely terrified of giving this speech on 07/07/01, but on the day it worked out superbly and I received a number of congratulations. The rabbit joke and Bride and Groom participation joke worked particularly well - thanks hitched.co.uk Regards David Segal

Hello, I thought I would give back a little of what I borrowed from hitched.co.uk and let you know that the tips, ideas and plagiarism opportunities I got from your site were a fantastic help. Armed with a cunningly concealed hip flask and the speech I'd put together with the help of hitched.co.uk my speech went down a real treat and I delighted and amused a lot of friends who thought I would get up there at the podium and bumble my way embarrassingly through a quick, standard type speech. The feedback was fantastic and I'm passing on the credit to you guys, great site, a fantastic reso

Dear Hitched- brilliant site I would have been completely lost without it - anyway here is my well plageurised speech which went down really well on the day - best of luck to anyone having a go - have a drink or two and relax (but practice practice before hand) The photos were a great idea as well - had everyone laughing Steve Murphy
