The wedding is in two days and you’re all crammed up! Well, that is not
because you are the Groom but your role is actually of great importance. Without
you, the wedding of your best friend wouldn’t be the same. How many times have
you said it to yourself, as though to confirm your role and actually
participation? “I am the Best Man, I am the Best Man, I am THE BEST MAN” and… in
a jittery almost hard to hear utterance “… and I have a Best Man speech to
prepare!”
Stop right there will you. It’s not like you’re going to be shot at on your best
friend’s wedding day. All you have to do is give a speech in front of hundreds
of people. Imagine, all eyes would be looking at you with scrutinizing look that
is. Not to worry though because giving a Best Man Speech could actually be fun
and easy if you know what to say and what to actually do.
Don’t forget that your speech doesn’t have to be serious. Smart one-liners and
intentional humorous jokes will just do the trick. Enjoy the moment because this
rarely happens, but don’t forget that the true essence of giving a Best Man
Speech is to express the love and happiness you feel for the Groom and his now
wife that has to approve the
groomsmen gifts. Many people might not know all the things you have shared
together so now is the perfect time to express it. Are you a man of few words?
Don’t worry, sometimes, if it comes straight from the heart, even hanging
phrases would mean a lot not only to the groom but to everyone else present at
the wedding.
Your Best Man Speech is one of the highlights of the night. So expect that
everyone will be very excited to hear what you will say. That is not to say
though that you can go on and on forever. Keep your speech relatively short and
direct to the point that is if you do not want your guests to lose their
attention. Another thing is, do not forget to make it clear that you are
actually even prepared yourself to be laughed at. What does this mean? Firstly,
it means that you should not make fun of the various
cheap groomsmen
gifts that you and the groomsmen may have received. such as
engraved shot glass
or engraved stainless
steel lockback knife. Well, if you are about to lambast your friend
with his joyous childhood frailties remember you were an “accomplice” to the
crime.
Not that the guests would mind, you were pretty young then.
Enough with the jokes and funny pick up lines. Best Man Speeches are also
intended to commend your friend for his great decision of sharing his life with
his wife and promising each other a life of togetherness and love. You could get
a little emotional here, imagine living life without your best friend but make
it clear how much you are happy for the newly-weds. It would even be nice if you
would say that you got yourself a bonus gifts of an
engraved silver plated
business card case. Now you are not only a best friend, you have also
instantly become a mediator. Enjoy the ride as you give your
Best Man
Speech. Keep in mind that this opportunity only happens once in your life and
now that you are on the limelight, just have fun.
