Start with "Friends, family and c*nts..." and then just wing it from there. Drop a C-Bomb early doors and nobody will remember anything you say after that.

Shag the bridesmaid before the ceremony. It's a more difficult sell if you do it after.

Under NO circumstances use chat GPT. It's your speech, not Sam Altman's!

Groom is easy - everyone's on your side, you just have to be nice to everyone, especially your OH, of course. Be truthful and from the heart. That's it.

Start off with "welcome back everyone"

Ask your best man to watch Hugh Grant's speech in "Four Weddings & a Funeral."

I've just done a FOB speech. Used Co-pilot to structure a speech, then wrote it around that.

Saw the question and my immediate response was be kind and speak from the heart and you'll be fine. I'm no great orator but the night before, I jotted down a few simple bullets about how I was feeling, didn't try to be clever or funny just told it how it was and it went down very well.

Whatever you come up with, practice it over and over until you know it by heart and get the pacing and tone perfect. Has a far greater impact on the audience and your new wife, than just looking down reading it.

Bullet points
Look at the crowd
Know the crowd
Don't be nervous

Job's a good un

My son was best man at my other son's wedding in August. His speech was brilliant. Way better than that film.

 

[DrBlueBob]

Don't speak too fast.

 

[bladdered]

Some good advice in here lad...

 

[BimboBob]

Thank everyone. I did mine without a script, just a list of who to thank. Then went into great detail about our first proper date. Took a few years for my Mother in Law to forgive me! And that was fine by me!

 

[The Mighty Marmoush]

Get a few jokes in, say I asked the wife, obviously use her name where she wanted to go on honeymoon, she replied somewhere hot where she has never been before, so I booked her a week in the kitchen

I'll get my coat

 

[GornikDaze]

Keep it simple, speak from the heart.

How about… “Get pissed and wreck the place!!”?

 

[Blue Mist]

Just speak from the heart.
Tell everyone that the one you love is married so you took what was on offer.

"I'd like to thank all of you free loading bastards for coming..."
