After the ceremony is over and the reception has started soon it will be time to step up and make a speech if you are the best man. This can be intimidating given the many considerations you will need to keep in mind that include how to be entertaining and sincere at the same time.
The way that the speech is organized is also extremely important given that you not only will want to please the groom and his bride, but also the parents of both, and all of the wedding guests.
Hopefully you will have had the chance to rehearse your speech at the wedding rehearsal dinner, but if not then you have one chance to say something that will be a part of the couple’s wedding forever.
Generally it will be your turn to speak after the parents have spoken, which gives you a little time to warm up in your mind. Within your speech you should remember to thank the parents of the groom and bride, and then focus on a few special notes about the couple that will bring both tears and laughter to the audience.
As you are closing up your speech, remember to thank the couple for inviting you to their special day and if there is something in particular that you want to leave with the bridal couple now is the time to toss it in. Finally, remember to keep it short but sweet because nothing is more aggravating than a speech that never ends.
