I've never done one or even seen one given. Do I go funny? Serious? Sappy? Some combination of the two?

Remind everyone of the time you banged the bride.

Start crying awkwardly and then tell everyone you have a bigger dick than him

Just make up a whole bunch of shite about a drunken escapade with tranny prostitutes in NO and an 8ball of cocaine.

Talk about fricking his fiancé, mention her mom is hot as frick, and end with a crying confession that he used to dress you as a girl when you were a kid

How do you get through life? Tell your brother to pick a competent person for the role.

Be yourself and be funny. I like your posts here.

If you were Rebeloke or Mizzoukills, I would have different advice.

You've just been given the green light to stand up and make fun of your brother for several minutes in front of all his new family and closest friends. The only caveat being that you have to wrap it up with something sappy.

Don't screw the pooch.

I think I'm going to go with a mix of sap and funny. His fiancé is super laid back and won't get butt hurt about anything I say. Her dad is awesome and her mom is too, but a little buttoned-up. I plan on finding the line and then clearly crossing it

The main thing to remember is it's all about the reaction.

It should be based on the relationship with your brother.

One of mine it was more sappy. The other one I ripped him

No one is going to remember it unless you are really bad. Don't use this time to ruin your brothers night.

So be short, honest, thank everyone, tell a story about growing up, tell a sweet story about your sister in law and bounce out.

The worst speakers I have seen are ones that force stories that are cringe worthy. If you tell a story be sure to have an exit to wrap it up.

The best stories /jokes are the was that can be tied into their relationship.

Also your biggest job is playing DJ and making sure the drunk dude doesn't grab the mic

He's my only sibling and we've gone through some shite together so it's kinda a mix of both. Which I think I'll reflect in the speech

Your outline looks exactly like it should except for the dick part

That comes first

Sounds like you got this.

He's your brother. Nobody has that relationship but you. Own it.

THIS. THIS. THIS. Don't be the guy who thinks he is awesome and drone on for thirty minutes. Thank everyone, one SHORT story and - don't think anyone has said this - call for the toast. Then sit the frick down and put anyone else speaking on notice that you will shut them down if they get excessive. That and taking care of drunks is part of the Best Mans job.

I think MOH speaks after me and then I am kind of the MC responsible for getting the mic to anyone else who wants to speak. At least that is how my mom explained it to me the other day.
