gday lads, my brother asked me to be his best man at his weedding, its a couple of months away but i havent a clue what im supposed to say... ive never been to a wedding or ceramony etc so i havent a clue...any ideas or sites with speaches so i can get an idea. Cheers -Pete
screw the speeches, whens the bachelor party ???????? we need chicks with fake jugs to entertain us. sooo when s the party ??? im in !!!!
pete you poor bastard.....nar it's not that bad. just list the things that must be said the bridesmaids the bride the groom parents etc what toasts to do in what order . i listed people in my groom speech to talk about and just talked about them without a script.if your not shy talking to a room full of guests it's easy. getting up there with a 20 page script and saying it word for word may look like it doesn't come across from the heart. even though it probably does. don't get the old hand book that they sell in the suit hire place. it is very cheesy. also keep it to 10 minutes max. rock on
http://www.thebestmanspeech.com/ I used this site for a wedding that I was the Best Man in last year. In theory, it would have been a great speech if I didnt freeze up. Oh well...... Do not copy word for word from that site, but look at some of the suggestions and make them work for you, and next thing you know, you will be able to come up with funnier bits or more serious bits about your brother...use it as a guide to start. Not to Finish.
single here in the u s, no- but single in australia--- HELL YEAH !!!!!!!!!!!! i dig aussie babes !!!! and koala bears too.
Maybe the following will help you out! Marriage is based on the theory that when a man discovers a particular brand of beer exactly to his taste, he should at once throw in his job and go to work in the brewery - George Nathan Here's to the groom, a man who keeps his head though he loses his heart. I had to make sure that (grooms name) day went according to plan, so I took it upon myself to check (grooms name) post. I need to tell (grooms name) that the carpet people cannot supply your carpet this weekend, but you will get your underfelt tonight! What can you say about a man who came from humble beginnings and is now quickly rising to the very top of his profession based solely on intelligence, grit and the willpower to push on where others might fail? A man who is beginning to distinguish himself amongst his peers and where none can say a bad word against him? Well, that's enough about the best man. I'm here to talk about _____. I can honestly say that in all the years I've known him, no one has ever questioned _____'s intelligence. In fact, I've never heard anyone even mention it. _____'s very classy. When we had an evening of music and drink in his house recently, I asked whether he had any Rachmaninoff. Gary replied he didn't have any vodka, only beer. I tell the people that on a night of recent revelry I asked the groom what he wanted to get from his marrage. He said "Well, I want to be a model husband. I want to be a model citizen. And I want to be a model lover!" Being a naive chap I looked up "model" in the dictionary. It said "A small miniature replica of the real thing!" To ____ and _______, may all their ups and downs be between the sheets. Here's to _____ a helluva pal, every girls guy and every guys gal. He's a prince, he's a topper, he's the King of the dance. And he frightens the horses when he takes down his pants. It is a woman's business to get married as soon as possible, and a man's to keep unmarried as long as he can - George Bernard Shaw Let me not to the marriage of true minds admit impediments - Shakespeare His designs were strictly honourable, as the saying is; that is, to rob a lady of her fortune by way of marriage - Henry Fielding A happy bridesmaid makes a happy bride - Tennyson There was an old party of Lyme Who married three wives at a time/ When asked "Why the third?" 'He replied "One's absurd/ And bigamy, sir, is a crime!" - Cosmo Monkhouse (19c.)
"better you than me" or if his to-be has hot bridesmaids that he gets along with werk the "he's so much like me" angle...
Yeah, well I am my step dad to be's best man this weekend. Talk about awkward. I also am notorous for being foul mouthed and a bit caustic... So with that, I am stumped. I just can't be nice even though he is awesome.
^^^Best advice so far, LOL. J/K But it worked for me. I wasn't completely smashed but I was getting there. Just say what you feel, drop a couple of one liners if you're comfortable with that, say how great the couple is together etc,etc....and usually one or two min is fine. Good Luck.
Do not tell the story about your brother and the goat. Do not tell the story about you and his new bride in the dorm room.
Don't write anything down except for ideas or subjects to touch on. It'll come out a lot better if you do it cold and straight from the heart.
"The day I was born my vows were made to my brother and my family. I, (Name), Take you, (Brides Maiden Name), To be my family; To have and to hold, From this day forward, For better, for worse, For richer, for poorer, In sickness and in health, To love and to cherish, As long as we shall live." (Optional danger ahead) (After murmuring/gladhandling settles down) "Mine's bigger." (Optional possibly mortal danger ahead) "Just ask (Bride's/bride's sister's/bride's friend's name)."
