Not sure what to do? Trouble with Best Man speech? I have been writing a best man speech. The problem is that a lot of my embarrsing stories were funny at the time, but I'm sure not funny now.

This seems funnier, but not very personal. So I'm confused.

Should I bust out my best man speech in my brother's court wedding or is that even possible? My big brother is having a court wedding for some reason and plans to have a second "formal" wedding within a year. I've never been in a court wedding so I'm not really sure how it goes. My question is, should I worry about giving my "best man" speech then; or hold on to it until the formal wedding a year later? I guess I also want to know if the court wedding will be too quick that there'll be no time for anything except for them to exchange their vows?

I am having a hard time writing a best man speech!? this is the first time i have to give the best man speech! It has to be around 3 min. I'm not so much into the entertaining speech full of riddles and jokes because I am a bit nervious it will be a dead crowd (and you have to be the type of person that is good on delevering them and i am not). Anyways for my three min. speech this is what I have so far: three years ago i met my friend N working in the University cafateria... He was a hard worker... (So M, he has no excuses when it comes to doing the dishes) Besides from work, we always had a lot of fun, whether it was playing guitars at the local bar... or just hanging around. I have heard a lot about m from the first day I met N. No matter what we did, every night that I can remember n made it a priority to call her. You could tell that she was always on his mind. Out of all the times that I have seen N, the happiest i have ever seen him has always been right before he was going to visit her. MUST ADD MORE I will end the speech by saying: So here's to N and M may thier worst days in their future be better their best days of their past (got that thanks to a nice yahoo answers person on a previous post) So please critique... what would you add to make it longer? what would you get rid of? Oh, once when he was talking with me on the phone he also got hit by a car... should i include that in there? Or is that better kept out unfortunately i dont know the wife that much... They had a long distance relationship for a long time When he got hit with the car,he was fine... I dont know much about weddings... but the best man asked me to speak for around 3 min

Best Man Speech Ice Breaker Suggestions? 2 Questions: 1. I am the FEMALE Best Man for my friend's wedding next month. I need to make two speeches because they are having two ceremonies. I just need a good ice breaker that will get a good laugh and not be lewd since the first ceremony is a religious one. 2. At the religious ceremony, it is more catered towards the groom's family so I wanted to mentioned someone on that side who had passed away. The groom's mother died a year ago and I wanted to mention her in the speech, like saying how she would be proud of her son and stuff like that and compare her a little bit to the bride. Would that be appropriate or no? I used to go over to their house a lot when I was younger so I've spoken to his mom a few times but I wasn't very close with her. She was always a nice lady. Thanks!

Do I absolutley have to give a best man speech at my brothers wedding?? My brother is getting married in a few days and I will be the best man. My brother's wife's family is a bunch of rich snobs and I think they are just trying to put on a show and impress somebody with their money. They have made several wedding decisions that I know my brother and his wife do not like and I think they have lost sight of who the wedding is really for. I am very grateful they asked me to be the best man but I am really dreading giving a speech, mainly because I really don't want to be part of their show and I just get super nervous with speeches. I am really not a people person and I have very few social skills so I doubt I can say anything memorable or inspiring. I love my brother and his wife and I would do anything for them and they know that. They already told me they are not expecting any kind of speech from me and they just want everyone to come and have some fun. I have told them both I am very happy for them and I think that should be good enough. Is it wrong of me to not want to give a speech?? I will probably have something short and simple ready just in case someone brings it up but I doubt I will volunteer to give it. Thanks for any comments

I am having a bit of trouble with my best man speech how does this sound? Any suggestions? It’s a unique and rare privilege to be able to give a best man speech because you have to squeeze a lifetimes worth of memories onto a small piece of paper and balance it just right to make the most perfect and enjoyable speech. So I hope your not all expecting much! For anyone who doesn’t know me my name is (My Name), I’m (Grooms Name) little brother and for everyone who does know me you have my condolences! It’s an honor and a pleasure to be (Grooms Name) Best Man, May I first say that there is no words to describe how beautiful (Brides Name) looks today and I’m happy to have her as my new sister in law, and I must also complement the bridesmaids because they are looking great, and there’s a man who needs no introduction, he’s a man who is as good as the come, he’s an inspiration to most of his friends, he’s smart, loyal, got a very witty sense of humor, he’s charismatic and he’s very attractive the women just adore him. But enough about me because this is (Grooms Name) day so I have made a large list of (Grooms Name) accomplishments in life in honor of the occasion! Now tradition would dictate that this speech impart would be an opportunity to bring up embarrassing moments in (Grooms Name) past in front of all his family and friends, but I’ve got to tell you I’m above that. I’m not going to tell you about the time when (Grooms Name) came in my room and closed the door behind him which didn’t actually have a handle on it and at the time (because our Dad earlier on the day had been painting the doors) which meant we where locked in together, also Mum & Dad where at a parents evening meeting one of (Grooms Name) college tutors so she could tell them how brilliant and smart he is and as proof of that he came up with the ingenious idea of how to get us out the room, he suggested I jump out the window and try to land on top of the conservatory roof, lets just say his plan never worked out. That would be out of line for me to mention that moment. And it would be even worse to talk about the time when we were kids and I threw a snowball at his head, so he decided to grab some snow and start making one to throw back at me but we had a little Chihuahua Dog called (Dogs Name) and Mum had never warned (Grooms Name) that; “Snow doesn’t come in yellow”. That would be completely and utterly unfair of me to talk about those moments tonight. So instead to give you all a brief insight into what it has been like to spend a lifetime with (Grooms Name) I have updated my speech and asked the same question again so if you would all please click on my profile and answer my question again on what you think of my updated speech thanx guys and girls!
