Best man speeches are considered as a very important part of the wedding ceremony or the wedding reception to be precise. You can guess the significance of a best man speech from the recent Royal Wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton. There was a huge buzz over Prince Harry’s (Prince Harry is the younger brother of Prince William) best man speech. Everybody including the international media was speculating what he is going to say in his best man speech and later there was a rush to find what he actually said in his speech.
If you are planning to deliver a best man speech, you need to keep the tradition and custom of the family as well as the country in mind while doing so. This is a very key point in the wedding ceremony, and a moment everyone attending will be looking forward to. You want to have a well prepared and thought out speech ready in advance. It is very important to deliver a well prepared best man speech not only for yourself (since your reputation might be at stake) but also for the bride and groom who expect you to live up to the expectations.
All best man speeches should be full of emotion and wit. Remember, the groom is an important part of your life, otherwise you wouldn’t have been asked to be their best man. Therefore, keep in mind that this day is not about you. It is about the groom and his bride to be. For instance, while delivering your best man speech. You want to avoid any subject that may offend the bride or put the groom in an awkward position. You want this to be a day for them to remember, something moving and sentimental would definitely get the job done. You don’t want to mention any ex-girlfriends or how good the old partying days used to be. This may give the bride’s family and friends who are present, the wrong impression of the groom, as well as yourself.
As I mentioned earlier, the wedding speech by the best man is a very important part of the entire occasion, and you want this to be a day full of good times and happy memories for years to come. Keep it sentimental, and humorous at the same time, tell a story perhaps or share a couple of good relevant jokes. Make the bride and groom’s dream day the best it can be.
It is understandable that you too want to pull off a really good best man speech which is funny and yet from the bottom of your heart. Besides you want to rise up to the occasion and would never want to let your friend, the groom, down. But it’s not important how much you want your best man speech to be good but how good it will be eventually. Well, a best man speech is invariably as good as the best man prepared for it. Give your speech the importance it deserves and you are going to shine for sure.
