How To Come Up With Best Man Speeches

By Marcus Dodd


If you are planning to write the best, best man speeches ever, you should start strategizing in good time. You were chosen for this position out of several other candidates for a reason. You should therefore strive to proof that indeed you are capable. You can only do this by coming up with the best speech ever. You should begin by warming up to the visitors. Make them laugh a bit or tear up with emotion with the words that you plan to use.

You will begin by telling the guests how you first came to meet with the groom. Talk of the way your friendship got to grow over the time you have known each other. Keep the speech personal and clean. Avoid dealing on the matter for too long.

You may now shift the speech to the bride. Give your account of how the two lovebirds met. To give it a light touch, you may crack a few jokes on what transpired when the groom first saw the bride and vice versa. If you helped in getting them together, you may talk about this. Do not exaggerate as to the role you played. Simply give them the truth as to what happened.

You may now start giving a few experiences you went through with the groom in the past. Never talk of things that may bring tension into the room. You should also choose your words carefully since there will be a wide range of guests in attendance.

You may now shift your conversation to the bride. Give a small speech about the few times that you got to share together. Only talk of the good times. Do not mention the rows they have had. Talk of the good things you see in her that you see makes her perfect for the groom. You may use this opportunity to also mention some of the qualities of the groom that go hand in hand with the brides. You should omit some of the bad character traits that you feel that she possesses.

And in as much as you may have no experience in marriage, advice them. Stick to saying something that you know is sincere and true. Stay within a familiar territory. Do not exaggerate in any way at all.

Thank everyone for the part that they have played for the success of the two. You may now proceed with the toast, wish them well before ending your best man speeches.
