Here's a good opener I stole from the interwebs:

"Joe had a hard time choosing his best man for this day. First he called up his most charming friend, and he said, "Sorry, Joe, I can't." Next he called up his funniest friend and he said, "Sorry, Joe, I can't." Then he called up his most handsome friend and he said, "Sorry, Joe, I can't."

Finally, he called me. And I said, "Joe... I can't say no to you four times."

The trick is not to make it about you, but about them. That is somewhat clever, but you can come up with something clever that involves the couple. IT's not supposed to be a standup routine by the best man, tho of course a laugh is a good thing.

Can't go wrong with telling an appropriate but funny story about the groom, then about the couple, then end it with "but seriously...blah blah blah you two are the best couple evar, raise your glasses blah blah."

You're welcome.

Dude... You're thinking about this way too much. Just go what feels right. Don't write shite down... Just get a buzz, NOT WASTED, and do it. I like to put a few lines in there that only the groom wi pick up on crazy things we have done. The rest is just fun with a strong "yall were meant to be together" ending.
