Hi, Please find attached my best man speech for my brother gavin who I believe has just sent his groom speech to you. Wedding date 7th July 2001. I must admit that a lot was "adapted" from your fantastic site and that nearly all the guests went out of their way to tell me how good it was later that day. I must admit I was terrified, until the point where I realised that I did almost know it off by heart, and that everyone was enjoying it so much. Then I realised that I was thoroughly enjoying it! I know thats hard to believe but its true, I didn't want to sit down again. I would

Dear Hitched I found your site invaluable to making my Best Man speech. I had never even been to a wedding before so was especially nervous! I practiced the speech until I was sick of it and it paid off - the audience did laugh in the right places and many people came up to me congratulating me afterwards. I timed the speech at 10mins at home and it was 14mins on the day - hopefully 4 mins of laughter! Many Thanks Mike Essex

Dear Hitched! As promised previously, please find attached my Best Man's speech that went down a treat yesterday afternoon. I spent the rest of the day being congratulated by people on both the Bride & Groom's side... It just doesn't get better than that! Much of my speech was 'borrowed' from previous examples, so a big thank you to all those previous contributors. Hope my version may be of some use to someone! Overall the site was a fantastic aid to the planning of the Big Day and helped make a special day truly memorable for all concerned. Keep up the fantastic work - I for one w
