My Husband is going to be bestman at one of his friends wedding in July. God love him, he's not too good with speeches. He was a bestman last year and I wrote his speech for him then which I found easy as I liked his pal that was getting married but this time I'm not really a fan of his chum. He has asked me to write his speech again but I am really struggling. I have already wrote one but John thinks its too harsh and asked me to try to lighten it up a little bit. I was going to post it on here but I think it may be too big. So does anyone know of any good jokes that can be used in a Bestman speech.

Cheers, Nikki

If you can't find anything on the web, check your local library. They usually stock some 'wedding speech' books.

Finish with:

"I'd now like you to raise your glasses to the most important people here......the bar staff!"

Ah well, made me laugh.

My boyfriend was just the best man at a wedding this past weekend and his introduction was:

"For those of you who do not know me, I am Stephen’s best man, and my real name is Whatwouldyouliketodrink. I hope many of you will come and say hello to me at the bar later, but I do insist you use my full name"

It was a fantastic way to break the ice and get everyone laughing!
