Only been a best man twice, first occasion I was great (loads of people congratulated me on my speech and ad libs)!

Second time I was terrible (loads of people told me that as well)!

It all depends on how you're feeling on the day.

Good luck mate, I'm sure you'll be fine, and congratulations on the happy event.

[POPEYE]

Thanks all, just done it on "word" and printed it, (and no i am not putting it on here)so should be ok, at least i'll be able to read it, cant read my own writing, i definatly am not one for getting up i front of people, i'll be bl00dy glad when that bits over, i can then loosen my belt, collar and waistcoat and enjoy it

My daughter gets married next month and I have to make the welcoming speech, which I am not too bothered about as I am used to speaking in front of people, but the Best Man and the Groom are sh*tting themselves already. They are even talking of having the speeches before we eat because if we dont they wont be able to get anything down. Just remember you are in front of friends and family. Enjoy the day, the speech is only a small part of it.

Ive been best man twice and my advice would be write the speach out in word, then just bullit point the main parts and try to memorise. nothing worse than reading it from a sheet of paper just use the notes if you get a bit lost or forget what your saying! also beers (1 -2) help!

When my sister got married, we had to tip a little bit of whiskey into dad. The trip from the registrary office to the reception was done by motorcycle and sidecar, with around about 150 bikes following. (most on open pipes and not a helmet in sight) they went round the town twice and then back to the Clubhouse for the reception. My dad stood up, and sung 'To be a turmot 'ower' (That is 'to be one who hoes turnips') and sat down to rapturous applause from a tin shed full of hairy arsed bikers. We didn't tell him half of them were German(he was a bit old fashioned about such things) and we didn't tell him we were videoing it.

(I was the only sober person in the room, and the only one in a suit. (i do like to be a little different)

[POPEYE]

Thanks for all the tips, should be ok as i increased the font (letter) size so i can see it on the table and wont have to hold it up in front of me, aggree it looks a bit contrived holding a paper in front of your nose

best wishes to your daughter and future husband Hi-sider, have a good time,

think i'd feel more at home in front of a bunch of hairy bikers Charley, most of the grooms side i've never met and theres loads of em, my side ya can count on your hands, actually looking forward to it now (apart from the speach)
thanks again, all the best, ian

Bugger me Ian, I hope your speEch, , is better than your spelling. Anyhow's, you're the father of the bride. You're meant to be a total embarrassment.
