“Greetings, ladies and gentlemen! Welcome to the amazing wedding ceremony of John and Katie, I hope you had a good time this far!Allow me to briefly introduce myself – my name is Mike and I am John’s best friend. He said he will kill me if I don’t give a hell of a speech on his wedding, so I will now speak better than the president does!I would love to thank John’s parents and Katie’s parents – you people all did a great job and we are all thankful that you made this happen! I am also happy that Sarah, Jessica, Nick, Peter and Abe have also contributed to this ceremony and helped manage all of what was involved. In reference to the speeches we have all heard and witnessed today, I must also tell John that I am more than happy that he made his decision with Katie. Katie, you are gorgeous today and I am truly happy that you two are getting married!

John, I hope you will have a lot of children with Katie and I wish you both a happy marriage! Oh no, people, I am not finished! I just wanted you to think I am, while I’m actually just started.

John and me – that’s a long story but let me give you the shorter version! I met John in elementary school and that has been a long time ago. Adding it up, we’ve known each other since 20 years now and we know everything about each other. John is a hell of a hard working dude. You know, he is the type of person who won’t give up on anything, until he sees that something leaves place for improvements. I remember that once before Katie’s birthday like 8 years ago, he was out of ideas on presents but he kept reading on the internet, he kept asking friends and spicing things up by his own mind, he gave Katie one of her best birthday presents ever! Also, I remember the time when 5 years ago I was in a lot of trouble – I don’t want to talk about the problems – and John was the only one who was there for me, helping me get past that unpleasant point in life.

Once Katie appeared in John’s life I knew they were meant to be together. So, I was right about it, wasn’t I? In behalf of everyone present, I wish you both a happy marriage, a lot of success in the everyday life and beautiful kids as well!

I hope you will enjoy your honeymoon to Australia, I am looking forward to hear about the kangaroos and wildlife and everything you will get to enjoy there!

Allow me to thank you all once again for being here and let us stand up and toast for the happy marriage of John and Katie! Cheers everyone!”

The day has finally come! You have been invited to your buddy’s wedding and now you finally have your opportunity to be his best man as you’ve always wanted! Of course, this brings a lot of happiness and excitement, but one can’t go there and stand up to give a speech unprepared. A lot of preliminary things have to be done and one of them is the best man wedding speech editing. Wait, what? Did I just say editing? Yes, this is something a lot of best men forget, and then they end up regretting. The reason for this is simple: the ceremony itself, the minutes you will stand up on your feet and start your speech are full of emotions. Be sure about one thing: these emotions will not allow you to have a good speech, unless you took your time to write it and practice it long enough, way before the ceremony every happened.

Every best man speech should follow nearly the same structure. Things would also depend on the personality of the newlyweds, on how the guests are during the day of the ceremony, but the main best man wedding speech structure is still unchanged. What elements should be included? We’ll now list them and talk about them shortly!

Opening of the speech

This is the part where you are supposed to stand up and start your speech. It’s useful and needed to welcome all the guests, especially the ones who have traveled long distances. Then, you should also introduce yourself, because all guests must know that you are the best man, as there will be a lot of people who really have no idea who you are. Continue reading »

Best man speech jokes

wedding jokeA best man wedding speech is an interesting part of every single wedding, such as a maid of honor wedding speech. What makes it so special? After the groom’s and bride’s parents have spoken their words of wisdom, after they have shared everything what was important and significant to the newlyweds, a best man speech should add a little spicing to the wedding ceremony. Of course, speech jokes can often be used to make an average-sounded speech sound like something of truly high quality and high standards. How to do it effectively?

Best man speech jokes are a delicate, creative and interesting part of the wedding speech. If you know that you have to give your best man wedding speech soon, try listing some fine jokes. We will now talk about two aspects as of what you need to know about your speech jokes.

Please, sir, do not!

Let’s see what you should totally avoid.

  1. Click jokes aren’t funny. By click, we are referring to the jokes that are only understood by the new couple, you and some other common friends. This would eventually be very funny for your small click but think about the guests, think about the parents, because chances that they would understand anything are near zero. So, to make quality best man speech jokes, make sure that all jokes are addressed to everyone, meaning that anyone could get the sense of humor in your jokes.
  2. Embarrassment shouldn’t become the target with “subtle” jokes. Even if you have some misunderstanding with the groom or the bride, or even with any of their parents, do not try to show anything about it with the opportunity of your best man speech jokes. If you do anything like this, people would think of you as a bad person and the groom would eventually feel bad for his entire life, for choosing you as the best man. Continue reading »
