Now let’s face it there are not many people who enjoy having to deliver a public speech and many dread being asked to be a best man. This article will provide an example and techniques to enable people how to make a funny and successful best man’s speech.

I would like to make it clear that I do not make money out of “public speaking”; I actually sell external doors, link building services and I also provide people with a professional DVD replication service.

The majority of best man’s are extremely nervous about having to speak in front of the wedding guests, especially just before they are due to start talking. It is therefore always a good idea to start with what I call the “ice breaker”, hopefully by starting with a little joke will bring about a bit of laughter from the audience which should help us to relax some what. This is a quality “ice breaker” that I witnessed at a wedding I attended recently

“I am rather nervous as you can no doubt tell and for this reason I am only going to speak for as long as it takes Dave (the groom) to make love”

At this point the best man quickly sat back down on his seat! The wedding guests thought that this was hilarious and this is what the best man had wished for of course.

After starting with this joke the best man can then say all of the thank you’s; to each set of parents and or anyone who has helped make the day happen etc.

It is then time for a final joke to end the speech with such as:

“I feel I am well placed to be the best man having slept with both the bride and groom. I have to say John (the groom) that you are very very good.”

I hope these few tips help you on the big day and I wish you well.
