Hi - great site ! I thought I would donate the following Best Man speech I made at a wedding on 15th June 2002.

Above all, look like you are enjoying yourself, and then

Here is the Best Man speech I made on Saturday 22 June. The sample speeches on Hitched.co.uk were invaluable in helping me write this, so I would like to share it with future Best Man's. Thanks! B. rgds, James Salter
