    Some great ideas in here. I will be the best man at my friend's wedding next June and I've been real nervous about the speech. This is helping a lot.

    So In November of this year I have the scary task of beoing my brothers best man. I plan to throw in some witty one liners, a few old stories from days gone by and a sentimental word or to....well, thats the plan anyway...

    any advice/ideas?

    One of my friends did a speech to his twin brother and used the following joke that nearly had everyone dying of laughter. It's yours if you'd like :)

    (Insert name) always wanted to play sports in school. One of his favourites was baseball. The teacher tried him as pitcher, then she tried him at first base and then eventually in the field but he was never good at any position, in fact, he was terrible. Let's hope (insert name) is better in whatever (insert bride's name) puts him in tonight!

    Talking about the bride to be....

    "I still masturbate to <Brides Name>. What? She's hot - check out those boobs. I just wanna lather 'em up with soap and rub my face in 'em. I could take a vacation in there."

    I've got my first Best Man speech coming up in September.

    I rarely ever get nervous, but the more I think about getting up in front of 150 people the more it kind of freaks me out! :eek:

    I've given two of these speeches - one of these this past weekend. I've found that being prepared is the best thing you can do. Before hand you'll probably have a couple of drinks, so something off the cuff may not be great if you're buzzed.

    I started my speech this weekend with this and it got a good response from the crowd:

    I really should grasp this once in-a-lifetime opportunity to reveal to you all of Steve’s misadventures. Unfortunately, I have played a large part in most of these incriminating events and I really don’t want to tarnish my impeccable reputation. So instead, I’ll keep it short by talking about Steve’s achievements.
    7/8/95, 6/26/98, 6/27/98, 8/17/98, 8/18/00, 8/20/00, 8/21/00, 10/8/00, 10/21/00, 6/16/03, 6/18/03, 6/21/03, 6/22/03, 6/24/03, 10/3/04, 9/11/05, 9/12/05, 9/13/05, 9/15/05, 9/16/05, 5/16/06, 5/17/06, 5/20/06, 6/24/06, 6/30/06

    Dont forget to mention her too. Most weddings do not have a bridesmaid speech, so tell everyone how great she is, how she is part of the family, etc. even if its not true, because after all, its their day.

    dude, its over so fast there is nothing to be nervous about. the best part is that before you know it, you're on. there is no "you are on in 5 minutes" type thing. someone is suddenly handing you the mic.
    All that's sacred, comes from youth....dedications, naive and true.
