Best Man Speech Sample II

Initially thank to all those who previously have their speeches.

First I’d like to thank (Groom's name) for those kind words – some sort of response is probably in order Before I start, if there's anybody here who feels a little nervous and apprehensive, it's probably because you've just got married to (Groom's name).

As best man I have a few specific jobs to do today, this being one of them, and an earlier one being to make sure (Groom's name) got here on time and in decent form, sober and smart - it is my responsibility to make sure his face and hair are in order. I think that this duty is quite unfair, and have frankly just tried to do the best I could given what I had to work with, although at least his hair today is a considerable improvement on some of the styles that he has sported over the years, which include a pony tail and an impeccable bob. Another duty is to make sure that certain people are thanked for their part in today, so I’d like to take some time to thank a couple of people who on the face of it have a fairly easy day – they have to cope with all the difficulties of standing around pouting and looking pretty, they’ve spent a lot of time on their make up and outfits, and without them the day just wouldn’t be the (Bride's name)
But I would especially like to thank (Bride's name)’s dad for his kind words and everyone involved for organizing what I am sure we will all agree has been a wonderful day and really got (Groom's name) and (Bride's name)’s marriage off to a perfect start...I think you would agree that at least so far the wedding has been beautifully planned, even down to getting an extra hour in bed tonight

A part of my research was to ask some of Groom's friends and family about what they would say about him: some words you could use to describe (Groom's name) are charming, intelligent and entertaining…but nobody said those, so I won’t use them. He was once described as arrogant, conceited, insensitive and selfish…and let’s face it if anyone would know him it would be his mum. Which I thought was a bit harsh, but I couldn’t argue with his mum.
Having known (Groom's name) for the best part of 25 years I have huge amounts of entertaining stories about him – however hardly any of it is even vaguely appropriate for his wedding, and as a result I would be in a lot of trouble if I told them here…so I’ll be telling them over there later
As we grew up, we were largely inseparable, we went to primary school together, we joined the cubs together, we joined secondary school together, we went on holidays together and even got ordained and became Internet vicars together... and now (Groom's name) has even started to copy the way I dress…
As I said from the age of about 5 (Groom's name) and I pretty much grew up together – we’ve crashed bikes and cars together, although not at the same time, we started going to pubs together – although we’d inevitably get thrown out because (Groom's name) looked too young, we discovered tequila together and as a result neither of us can touch it to this day, we’ve got into - and got each other out of – all kinds of bother and generally looked out for each other. He has in essence been my brother and it’s not often I get to thank him for it.
I’d also like to thank him for finally admitting that I am the Best man.

Being recently married, I can vouch for the feeling that you get when you realize you have met the person you are going to spend the rest of your life with / or your first wife, it’s a feeling that you want to make the most of, and we are here to celebrate that with you both…long may it continue…

So, ladies and gentlemen, it really has been an honor and a pleasure being best man, but today I am the best man in title only. It’s (Groom's name) and (Bride's name)’s day and I wish them all the happiness in the world for this new chapter in their lives.
To round up then, I d like to thank you all for your attention, and let me just say that if you've enjoyed listening to this speech as much as I enjoyed making it, then all I can do is apologies most sincerely.
That's it. I am sure you will be as glad as me that there is no more, bar a toast, so if you would all please charge your glasses and be upstanding…ladies and gentlemen, the toast is the bride and groom.
