Best Man Speeches

Best Man Speech for My Brother’s Wedding Dinner.

September 2, 2010

A speech I gave for my Brother who has been that silent inspiration in my life.

Hope you enjoy it and may the sibling rivalry never cease for you

Here is the transcript for the poem I recited in the video:
My Brothers name is Jeremy,
His new wifes name is Salome.
Ive known him ever since I was born,
21years of toil and scorn.

He leaves dishes for me to wash,
Stay with him, if you want the be-a-maid course.
His room is messy, with underwear all around
You would think a tornado and tsunami, turned it upside down.

I asked my mum when I was eight
How will kor get married, he in his bed!
I now am twenty-one and I still sometimes wonder,
When his wife sleeps with him, will she smell the odour?

I didnt speak to my brother, for 3/4s of my life.
Five years our generation gap, how to keep the brotherhood alive?
When I enter his room to take his really cool things,
He would scream, wrestle and fight, and he always wins.

Many use to ask, Why he so fat, you so skinny?
And I used to tell, he steals my food and hes always hungry.

Looking back, 21 years of brotherhood, it feels really really good;
The fights we had, the things we never shared
It was all priceless, although we had buises.

What I didnt tell you, when we used to not speak,
Was that youre funny youre clever, with great talent in music.
You were my role model in many many things,
That elder brother that inspired and gave me dreams.
Im so terribly happy, Im sure youll make a great husband for the one and only Salome.

Of course you still in your bed, but thats alright,
I tell you a secret, I do the same every night.

Thats how much you inspire me, my dearest brother,
My role model Jeremy.

Just always remember, to standby the purple lavender air-freshener.

BEST MAN SPEECH ARRRRRRR ? ? ? HELP ME PLEASE?

September 1, 2010

HEY im best man for my brothr any pointers on making a speech what to say what jokes to crack ?

OK… Take a deep breath… We can get you through this.

I’ve written an article on my website The Doomed Groom that gives advice on how to give a really good best man speech. In it, there are several big pointers, namely:

- Make sure you write it well beforehand. That way you can edit it down and really make sure that what you want to say is being communicated.

- Re-write it. Sure, you may think that what you’ve got is perfect. It’s not. Give it another pass and make sure that all the fat is cut and that it’s as clean and streamlined as you can make it.

- Memorize it. SERIOUSLY. This is an absolute must. There is nothing more painful than watching some poor guy stand up at the dais and "Ummm" and "Uhhhhh" for ten minutes while he’s trying to remember what he wanted to say. Trust me, the time you invest in memorizing the speech will more than make up for itself in the response you get from the audience.

- A little liquid courage. OK, I didn’t tell you this… But, it might be a good idea to get a drink in you. MIGHT be a good idea. Something to take a little bit of the edge off. Just make sure that you don’t have too much. That’ll just make you sloppy and people will be laughing for a completely different (not so good) reason. (This also assumes that you are of legal drinking age.)

As for jokes — that’s really tough. I always think that funny stories are a lot more effective than "jokes." I think the audience is going to be a lot more receptive to listening to you speak about a funny situation that happened with the two of you than listening to a bunch of gags strung together. The main thing is, though — have a theme or point. Start from what you want to say about him as a person, brother, husband, etc., then make sure that the funny story comes from there.

As an example, in my article (which I’ve sited below) you will find the speech my best man gave me at my wedding. To this day, the people who were there still consider it to be one of the best toasts they’ve ever heard. You will see — first of all, that it was written beforehand and then memorized — but also that he crafted the humor to really say something from his heart about my wife and I. If you start from there, you really can’t go wrong.

I hope this helps!

What is the best marriage toast that a brother(best man)can give the groom(brother)??Katie Curic did onebut??

September 1, 2010

I think things like this should come from the heart. If this is for you, then think about your brother, did you grow up together? I know when my sister gets married, I will make the whole room cry.

You could use something like this:

There are hundreds of stars glow at night in the pretty sky,
Hundreds of shells wash on the shore as water goes by,
Hundreds of birds that hum the songs of joy and tears,
Hundreds of birds in the sunny weather fly without fears.
Hundreds of dewdrops to greet the dawn every day,
Hundreds of butterflies on the lawn frolic and play,
Hundreds of bees buzz in the perfect purple clover,
But there is only one brother for me, the wide world over.

May God bless your union like He has blessed me with such a wonderful brother, good luck and congratulations.
I love you!

Best Man Speech Ice Breaker Suggestions?

September 1, 2010

2 Questions:

1. I am the FEMALE best man for my friend’s wedding next month. I need to make two speeches because they are having two ceremonies. I just need a good ice breaker that will get a good laugh and not be lewd since the first ceremony is a religious one.

2. At the religious ceremony, it is more catered towards the groom’s family so I wanted to mentioned someone on that side who had passed away. The groom’s mother died a year ago and I wanted to mention her in the speech, like saying how she would be proud of her son and stuff like that and compare her a little bit to the bride. Would that be appropriate or no? I used to go over to their house a lot when I was younger so I’ve spoken to his mom a few times but I wasn’t very close with her. She was always a nice lady.
Thanks!

"We all love (groom’s name) and know that he set’s very high standards for himself in everthing he does, so it came as NO surprise when he asked (bride’s name) to marry him. Since (bride’s name) also has very high standards, it came as a HUGE surprise that she accepted"

I usually see references to past family members as opart of teh invocation/prayer before the meal, when you say something about "all of those who are no longer with us who loved "bride name" and "groom name." That way no one is offended that you may have left someone out.
