From my own experience when I was asked to be a best man, I thought yes what an honour but then, oh no, the speech. Luckily I could write poetry, so I wrote a poem and also luckily I hit the jackpot, it went down a storm, it was perfect and I had accolades all night from lots of guests and photographers. So I created my own website to help other guys and it has been very successful and I am so lucky to have had so much superb feedback from guys who were clearly quite nervous.
The beauty of a personalised poem is the fact it is personal, you can read it, and given time to practice, it can be delivered in a meaningful way and last but not least, you don’t have to let on it wasn’t you who wrote it!! But the real beauty is it is a comfort to the best man in case of emergencies; panic attack, too much to drink, etc. So if anybody wants help, I would be delighted to help out, just check out my website TheBestManSpeech.co.uk (http://www.thebestmanspeech.co.uk)

Stand up speak up and shut up same as the groom. It is usual to make a few innocent jokes about the groom just enough to get him a little worried but not enough to shoch the maiden aunts or get him into trouble with his new wife. Remember nerves will be a littl taut so err on the boring side and remember the fiirst 7 words of this answer

Start off by saying -
I am sure everyone will agree that (brides name) looks one in a million. (Pause for general agreement from the guests.) And that (grooms name) looks won in a raffle.
Will get a bit of a laugh and you are up and running.
I ended my best mans speech by saying unfortunately I haverhave been banned from telling stories such as
BillyBob pitching a tent.
The beautiful pickpocket of Piccadilly.
And the M1 service station porn fiasco.

When giving the toast have him and his now wife stand up. Have her put her hand out in front and have him put his on hers. While they stand there explain to them what it takes to make a marriage work, like when you disagree and you discover when your wrong admit it and if you discover that you were right, then shut up and keep it to yourself. Then point out that this will be the last time he will have the upper hand in this marriage.
