Wedding Speeches

Please find attached my best man speech for my mate's George & Audrey's wedding on 27th September 2002. I need to thank all the previous contributors to hitched.co.uk for the material within this excellent site. I hope this is of some help to anyone in the future. It went down a storm, getting thanks from people all night. Don't worry too much about your delivery, because you quickly settle down after the first laugh. Remember that everyone in the hall wants you to enjoy delivering it as well. Regards,Gibby

I gave this short speech at a wedding in London two weeks ago as the "father of the bride", although I am actually her brother and was giving her away in the absence of our father. It went down very well, and was helped by the examples on your site. I hope it could be of use to anyone in a similar position. Thanks. John Stanley

Thank you VERY much for your site. I was the best man at a wedding recently, and had absolutely no idea what to say. So I decided to use AltaVista and search for a site to help me. After a few pretty lame sites that only wanted to sell me something, I found your site.I looked at a load of your sample speeches and eventually was able to come up with something. I gave my speech, and later on, as the evening progressed, I had about a dozen people ( none of whom I knew )come over and shake my hand, and say what a top speech. I have attached the speech to this E-mail. If you would rath

Hi I did this speech in 2002 and it went well! Just in the process of writing one for my 2nd best man speech in May 03. Jamie Francis

Thanks very much to your website, I would've crashed and burned without you!! The reception was like being on death-row, but the speech went better than I could of dreamed.

Hi Hitched Your site was a real life saver here's the bestman speech I gave on 29th September 2002 after many hours of research on your web site. It did the trick as I don't remember having to buy a drink all night. Cheers David Dunhill Bestman for Colin and Clare Mortimer

I would immensely like to thank all at hitched.co.uk, don't know what I would have done without you! The speech went really well and it only took 6 whiskeys to calm the nerves. The response was so fantastic that people were asking for copies of the speech. My advice to future best men is endulge in a little bit of dutch courage and get that first laugh as soon as possible, I honestly don't know what the worry was all about. Dean Boyce(Chesterfield)

Wedding Speech For Andy and Isabella Sep. 28/2002. Thank you 'hitched' so much for all the help Paul

See my speech attached. It was mainly begged borrowed and stealed but helped me to bring the house down and kept me in Stella and Jack Daniels for the rest of the day! Thanks, Simon.

Dear hitched.co.uk Congratulations on a great site and thanks for all your help - I couldn't have created my speech without your help! Since I found your example speeches so handy, I thought it only fair that I post my own effort in the vague hope that it might help others - good karma and all that! Keep up the good work and I'll certainly be recommending your site. Regards David Vieira, Jersey

I was married this year and I used the following speech to much success............
