The best mans speech
This is the part of the whole day that most best men dread!
It needn’t be such a daunting prospect. The best man just needs to respond to the other speeches by offering thanks on behalf of the bridesmaids. He can share some funny anecdotes about the couple or the groom. This can sometimes be a tricky endeavour. The most important thing is to know your audience. Although the couples friends or some family members may find a few crass jokes rather funny, be very mindful of the priest and the less open minded people that may be in attendance.
If you jump deep into a story that you can’t get yourself out of it can prove very embarrassing for all involved and you don’t want to have the bride rushing to the nearest exit in floods of tears having heard about amorous escapades her now husband had before he met her!
You understand where I’m going with this!
The best thing is to keep it short, to the point, full of well wishes and thanks and then the last part which is the raising of the glasses and a toast to the bride and groom.
