Best Man Speech Examples

I delivered this Best Mans speech on November 10th 2001. It went down a storm, particularly the "foot and mouth" joke. This website was an invaluable aid to adding some decent content to my speech - many thanks to all contributors. My advice to budding best men is practice, practice and then practice again. You'll really reap the benefits come that time when you stand to give your speech !!

Speech given November 3rd 2001. Thanks for such a useful website - it made the speech writing job much easier!!

Regards and thanks again for all the help on such an excellent web site. I've recommended it to all my friends. Paul Haughney

I recently was asked to be the best man at the wedding of one of my oldest friends. Nervous as I was, your site helped loads and the finished article went down a storm... (even if it was a bit long winded!) Thanks Shane Green

Dear Hitched, Thanks for your brilliant site!! Gave me loads of ammo for a great speech. Even the nightime guests were telling me that they had heard how good my best mans speech was.

If you wait until the end of the speech and all your jokes are done, the guests get bored and start talking among themselves. 2) When telling your jokes or anecdotes, wait for the laughter to die down before carrying on. A couple of times I kept telling my story or joke while everyone was laughing a
