Aside from introducing him to his soon to be wife which was more bc two people were 35 and single and happened to meet via friends,I just wouldn't have anything to really say in a speech. We're just casual friends,met through mutual friends. We grab dinner when he's in town,but nothing to where I have hilarious stories to share or anything in a wedding speech. It was just so awkward he asked, he said he owed me big time for introducing him to his wife. I didn't want to burst his bubble and say it was an accident bc he really believes we somehow arranged it bc he was in town visiting.

If that is all true, I'd more than likely say he's just saying all that because he has no one else to ask. But as sad as that is it isn't something you should have to stress over being so far away anyway. If you lived in the same city, I'd probably recommend being the nice guy and playing the part for the night, but half a country away I don't think its realistic the way you describe. That's way too much obligation and work for someone you don't know that well just to be compassionate, considering the cost of travel and all the other things a best man is responsible for.
