Dear all, Your site was a major help in getting my speech off the ground, although I did not end up using too much stuff. Importantly it made me feel as if there were others suffering and at least I had a starting point. Keep it sweet, keep it short. Murray Hudson

Hello I'd like to thank you for setting up your site. It made a very difficult task much easier, in fact without the example one liners' my speech would not have had half the impact it did. Its a horrible task but when it goes well, its worth all the pain. A lot of people said it was the best best man's speech they've ever heard. Its amazing what a couple of glasses wine can do! My advice is don't blank it, start early, refine and practice lots. Take it slow and enjoy it. You'll only ever do it once! Thanks again Simon Frooms

I must say I found your site extremely good in all departments. I was best man last weekend and felt well prepared with the coming events of the day. The speech went down extremely well and my numerous rehearsals kept me in good stead. It's no good having a great speech if you can't deliver it. I also found the being the Master of Ceremonies also helped - when the time came to give my speech I had already said quite a lot, which allayed my nerves a little. Pete Shore. October 2001.

What a great help your site was. I shudder to think what the speech would have been like without it !. Here is a copy of my speech performed in Dollar, Scotland on the 17th of August 2001. Richard Campbell

Well, after a couple of weeks struggling I stumbled across hitched.co.uk and lo and behold a few cut and pastes later I was well on the way to crafting my own speech.There was a bit of plagerism although most was amended slightly some of the gags were too good to dilute and went straight in.....thanks to hitched and to those who supplied the impudus and the not too corny gags i borrowed! my only advice would be to personalise where ever possible and dont get too uptight they really are on your side!!

This is my speech which I wrote 2 days before my mates wedding. I honestly couldn't have done it without hitched.co.uk. I was absolutely amazed by the reaction it got with many people thanking me for such a great speech. I borrowed from a couple of other speeches, so, thank you to whomever I borrowed from. Once I got into the flow of things and the nerves washed away I thoroughly enjoyed it. I'd do it again in a heart beat. Thanks again, David McLachlan

This speech was delivered 100% sober (which I thoroughly recommend - booze screws your memory up!) in front of about 150 people and a Video Camera, got a lot of laughs, and seemed to go down well. Thanks to hitched.co.uk, I shudder to think what would have happened if I never discovered your site! I've ripped a lot of good stuff off from some funnny speeches on your site, hope nobody minds too much!!

A big thank you to Hitched.co.uk for making the wedding of my special friends Chris and Andrea even more special. Without the help of Hitched I would not have been able to get up and give a speech which they both deserved. Thanks Again Dave

Dear Hitched, I cannot thank you enough for having this website, it was a great help in building a very well recieved speech, most people came up and congratulated me after it which made it even more rewarding. It was sweet revenge on Garry who was my best man many years ago. Once it is written and you have gone over it several times, it makes the day so much more enjoyable, I actually enjoyed the build up to it!!! Thanks again. yours, Gregor Morrison, (goog)
