re: Tips for a Best Mans Speech

And tell everyone about the skank he fricked at the bachelor party

"(couple's first names), may all your ups and downs be between the sheets. Cheers."

Same cousins wedding I referenced before, the maid of honor nailed her speech; short, sweet, sincere, and a couple jokes that landed well. Ended with something along the lines of, "Don't worry about who 'wears the pants' in your relationship, marriages are at their best when neither is wearing pants"

Supposedly you know this guy better than anyone except maybe his fiancé. Just speak from the heart.

Tell them all about the affair you've had over the years, time to come clean baw!

GREAT Advice

Those were the lowlights, there was more that I've luckily erased from memory. It was all bad, one of the cringiest moments I've ever experienced. The whole time everyone at my table was like:

I know the wonderful people of the OT are chock-full of great ideas and advice, so let me hear them

Tip 1: you aren't as funny as you think you are. Don't joke to much. Be sincere.

At my brothers rehearsal dinner I was lit, I stood up and started with "I'd like to thank everybody for showing up to eat with me". It got a good chuckle. I talked about how my sister and moms have always been great examples to me of what good women should be and I'm glad that my brother found a wife that was on the same level. Also talked about how even though he is my little brother I'm fortunate to have him as an example of what kind of man I should be. It made the tears flow.


About 5 minutes before I spoke I handed my brother a sheet of paper with a fake version of my speech typed on it. It had a bunch of stories of crooked shite we did as teens and children. I could see him sweating when I rang my glass.

Personal development:Tell a comedic story interlacing why you think he's going to be a good husband

As Child
As teen
As Young adult
As man
As a future husband


I first met _____ when we were ______, and if you told me then he would be getting married, I would have thought you were out of your mind.

First childhood or earliest comedy story about him, where you can make fun of him, but also that you noticed development in him.

Rinse repeat, that's how I did my brother's and childhood best friend's


Shaving his head (He kept the style from Junior High)
Fight with guy who assaulted our dad
Lost job and what he did to get back on feet
Etc.
Jumping a car across the levee (accidently)
Being in a coma after getting jumped by 6 guys
Becoming a Russian interrogator
Being jumped again and left for dead in New Mexico

Speak confidently. Know what you are going to say, the whole speech outline, before you begin.

Start by telling a humerous story about one or both of the bride / groom, that everyone will understand but maybe has a slight teasing element

Then after the laugh switch gears to talking about how they are great together, you can see how happy he/she is, even throw in a “because they did this or that thing this one time”, how you know they’ll be great, and you look forward to watching them grow in thier love over the years

Proceed to get laid from one or more women in attendance
