I was Best Man back in May and had a great time. I had my speech printed out and used it for reference when starting each section so that I didn't miss anything out. I had a few drinks beforehand (1 G&T when we arrived, 1 glass of champagne at meet 'n' greet and a couple of glasses of wine with my meal) so that I was a little more relaxed, I was pooing my pants up until the point where I stood up (apparently I hid it well) and looked around and realised (this is a very important point so listen carefully) that everyone in the room was behind me and couldn't care less if I made a mistake and had to start a sentence over again. I then totally relaxed and gave what was IMO a damn fine speech delivered in the manner that I wanted
Good luck with the speech and I know it's easy to say and harder to do but enjoy yourself.
