Any tips? I am the best man for my brothers wedding this coming Saturday? I happen to live with the happy couple, so I am pretty close with bride and groom. Not sure what all I should say.

Here's to the happy bride and groom
who later tonight will be alone in a room.
I know my brother is getting more excited as the hour grows near
I hope he doesn't mind the tattoo on her thigh that reads Ollie was here.

Re: Best man toast/speech
So I am the best man in my best friend's wedding and...
He told me what to say in the best man toast. I was pretty weirded out and pissed that he didn't trust me to write an awesome speech.
I should just write my own speech instead.Too Old To Game Club

Re: Best man toast/speech
I was the best man in my bro's wedding...thought my speech went well. I made sure to only have one beer before as not to look like a complete *** up there.
I tried to keep it short (2-3 minutes) and on the light side. I figure the maid of honor usually goes the sappy and sentimental route.
I harped on my bro a bit for his complete obsession with Costco. I harped on her for being a Giants fan when we come from a family of A's fans. At the end I went into a semi-long speil about how when everything goes wrong and times are tough and you get in a bit of a fight and bla bla bla that there are three words that can make everything ok..I kind of dragged it out on purpose to get the crowd involved with everyone assuming I was going to say the three words were "I Love You" when I said "I Am Sorry" or "I Was Wrong"...that got some pretty good laughs. The a toast and I was done.Comment

Re: Best man toast/speech
Just one word of advice.
NEVER. WING. IT.
As much as you think it will go well, others in the wedding are wishing it would just end.
Believe me, be prepared, so it's not a lot of "uh's" and "umm" and "like"Comment

Just make it fast. I hate long speeches. It just ends up being boring and corny, most likely.Comment

Re: Best man toast/speech
Agreed. Normally the speeches come before the food, so everyone is hungry and a little impatient. A long speech and you'll lose the crowd.
Keep it short, share a story, and make sure the story is something everyone can relate to.
Don't mention what you and your brother use to do when you would be in the house all by yourselves.
Since you live with them, share a story about the little quirks that they do for each other. And how once they're married, may not be the same...Comment

I am thinking about playing them a song*. We are having a buddy's band play so I am gonna see what we could do. Maybe just change the lyrics up on their favorite song.
*i do not know how to play the guitar and I can't sing.Comment
