Deciding what you want to say in your best man speeches brother can be a daunting job. However, there are some traditional components that you can start with and build up from there. It generally starts with an introduction, a memory or story about the Groom, and then the toast. First, introduce yourself. Say your name and how you know the Groom, as this sets the tone for your speech.

There are many options open to you after your introduction. Where you decide to take your speech ultimately depends on your personality, as well as your relationship with the Groom. Start off with a good joke or a heart-warming story. However, make sure they’re appropriate – there are both children and grandparents in the audience, and you don’t want to make the Groom’s grandma blush with some of the stories you might have.

Even if the most exciting thing you and the Groom have ever done is write “Wash Me” on the back of a dirty truck, the audience will appreciate your sincerity and it will make your speech very successful. Avoid dirty stories or stories that could potentially embarrass the Bride or the Groom. You want to honor them, not mortify them in front of their entire family. Describe how the Bride and Groom first met and when you first met her. Mention some of the qualities of your first impression of her, but only the good ones!

Mention how the Groom was when he first met his Wife and how their relationship grew to be what it is today, with you ending up at their wedding. It’s alright to joke with the Groom a little bit, just don’t make him regret choosing you as his Best Man. It’s the Groom’s special day, so do your best to keep the attention on him. Your goal is to show the audience the relationship with the Groom, and show the Groom how much you appreciate that relationship.

The toast is the grand finale. It doesn’t need to be long or super dramatic. Give your best wishes to the bride and groom and extend to them the hope that they live a long and happy life together. The end of your speech needs to be heart-felt and meaningful, more so than the rest of your best man speech. Avoid jokes or sarcasm; this is where you give the Bride and Groom their sendoff. You can insert a little friendly advice or a maxim to conclude if you like, and then prompt everyone to raise their glasses and drink for the couple. Now you’re done. Accept your applause and bask in a job well done.
