Thank you. Wedding Thursday! asked to be best man at lunch time today. mind in turmoil-blood pressure down ten points now, cheeers.

what a life saver, wedding on sat, was panicing, cheers for the A1 help 🙂

thats just what i needed to sort my speach out. thanks very much.. just got to remenber it all now ha

Thanks heaps, was asked half a week before the wedding, now from not knowing on what to do – to not a stress in the world. Thank you

you are tha best, the most beatiful lady i have ever met!

thank lots what a life saver

got my dads wedding a week today, still a lot of work to do to get the speech finished but this has really helped me to get started.
Thank You!

I can’t wait to be best man! 😀 Thanks a lot for the heads up!

Great! It would be helpful to know what sort of time-length the speech is supposed to be. We all speak at different speeds….don’t want it to be too long, nor too short, I guess…also- may want to mention the bride’s parents, especially if they are footing the bar bill!!!!

budget speech – write your own instead… if the groom is a true friend.. he’s worth a bit of effort!!

I offered to help my husband with his speech and found this website extremely helpful. Many thanks.

thanks you helped bolt together a lot of notes & ideas into a speech.

very helpful,alot of ideas and the structure of speech-up munster

kife saver cheers

Thanks i had no clue what to say for my dads wedding… im only 16!

Much appreciated, cheers mate!

ive been asked to be best (wo)man for my best mate. so nervous about the speech but this has helped millions. thanks 🙂

That speech is absolutely rubbish, where’s the humour….that’s what a speech is meant to be all about, 2 out of 10

Extremely helpful many thanks.

What i especially found helpfull was that the Groom i am the best man for is also called Tom!! Thanks

being best man for brother, leaving the speech till last moment wasnt a good idea. however your example was great cheers, all i need to do is fill in some funnies.

Would have been really helpful, but once I’d edited out all the cheese, I’m back where I started – sorry.

sucha great site…. really helped me!! lifesaver!! wedding on friday!!

what happens if the groom isn’t called tom. I’m starting to panick now

I’ve been dreading not writing a best man speach till the last minute, had idea’s in my head but didnt know how to put it down on paper thanks this was great. wedding tommorow

all i can say is thank,s,,your example helped a nervous man do a very good best man speech(so it was said)

You have helped to structure something that was all a blur in my head!

Thanks

Wow! What a great example! I think the best way to nail a speech is to look at past examples and take what you like from them! Excellent speech!

Ive been asked to make a speech on my bestfriend wedding Thanks for this lovely wedding speech samples,

Excellent site!,

useful info here.. thanks so much. one of my closest friens just asked me to be his best man… daunting!!!!

Wow!! It’s getting better and better. Keep it up man.,

thanks man! this is my first time being the best man..your tips helped me a lot.

what a rubbish speech, breaking one of the main rules, talking about how the groom got on with other women–strange

luvly jubbly got me out of trouble

your very good

Thankyou its nice seeing an example of what I should write, having thought about the key parts this has helped me organise where to say them.

is the best!!!!
funtastic

11.04.09 thankyou this is just what i needed a big help indeed…thanks again

wow!

Life saver. Brilliant AA++++

Brides brother, and asked by groom to do a speech!
Thanks!!!!

Great help! Wedding not until August but I was shooting blanks. This gave me the inspiration in needed to write my own.. with a few stolen lines from you.

Mate wedding on saturday cant think of nothing to say, you have saved my life nice 1.

thanks alot my dads wedding friday and i am only 13 and i have been asked to be best man and this has realy helped me cheers 😉

I would a line or 2 praising the Bride, mentioning how the Groom has been the happiest he has ever been since she came into his life. I would end the speech with a proper toast rather than the “cheers” option, instead say something along the lines of; “Will everyone please be upstanding as we toast the Bride and Groom…may they live long, laugh often and love always”

Thank god!! bricking it!!

thanks for the help got my dads weddin nxt week nd this has given me a gd bace to start at with the speach so thx

Wedding tomorow!!! you saved my life!!! thanks

Thank God! you save my life yeah!

the structure of this speech is okay but it is very boring and not at all funny, you should start by saying how gorgeous bride looks then bridesmaids, a little about the groom then a little about the bride put plenty of 1 liners in keep it funny, short and sincere when it needs to be and finish with a proper toast such as the one posted above by speech success! you cant go wrong

i have been as to be the best man for my mate and do not know waht to say..help

This is just what I needed cos I was asked to be my elder brothers best man in just 2weeks, trust me I hav no idea what a speech is cos am niether married or have attended a full wedding to hear what the best man speech looks, sounds weared.

thanks.

Thanks i did not know what to say but i know now.

thx a lot dude, you saved my day!!! 😉

best man is not the best name for that person. lets always call him toastman

I think that was a fine speech that was made up here, because I’m going to be a best man for my dad’s first cousin!!!

It is THE worst speech I have ever had the misfortune to read! it is supposed to be funny.
If you used this, you were not the “best” man you were infact the only person that would accept the job for a billy no mates!

Thank u a lot, it can even be applied in my next week wedding, just need to edit names.

SINCERELY IT IS EXTREMELY HELPFUL,

THANK YOU! You have saved my life! p.s to donkey grow up and get a life!

I am amazed at how many people thought this was a good example of a Best Man’s speech! Have any of you ever been to a wedding?! If I used this for my friend’s wedding next week, he’d be mortified. Thankfully, there is a lot better advice out there if you look for it. Shame on Presentation Magazine for even posting this.

Indeed not the best speech, but a useful starting point for being able to develop your own. Thanks

Great! Tom is right, you should simply stand in front of the people and then talk to them in normal way, so that you will not tense. Being a best man is not easy task, but in your way, you should respect your friends request. And I know you can do it. I will share to you now the Do’s and Don’t in delivering best man speech:

Do’s:

1. Plan well in advance
2. When it comes to best man speeches, research is of paramount importance.
3. Make sure you mention the names of people who have made the day possible .

Don’ts

1. Do not get drunk
2. Do not reveal embarrassingly personal details about the bride and groom.
3. Do not talk just for the sake of talking.

Hope it helps..

Cheers!!!

rubbish.. where are the jokes?

Cheers man life saver!

good speach:)

good speach ryan you rock
🙂

Well done Ryan, good speech I would perhaps add a prop to the speech to inject a little more humour into it. Otherwise good job, this best man speech will offend nobody and delight most.

Thanks for the speach will surely be using it at my bestfriends wedding, taking place on 25 Sept 2010 in Kimberley, South Africa. Gr8 stuff you are a real lifesaver.

Useless – I think this is s dreadful excused for a speech.. Give me a break!

you saved my life bro! well done!

Great work…well done

All bestman speeches vary per culture.Yet,it can follow this order

Thank the groom for the honor.
Thank the audience and the previous speakers.
Say how and where you met your friend and his influence on you.
Talk of his amazing accomplishment or skill and do tell how he is fitted for his wife
End with a toast and your audience will love you for that.

Indeed this is a beautiful site.your posting is superbly done. Keep up the good work.

tanks dear! it’s helping and appreciated. # my first time of being a best man to my brother #

nice,nice,nice..
