Draft no1 of my Best Mans speech is complete

Del Lardo · 6 May 2006 at 00:20

After 5 hours work (and some wine and TV) my first draft of my Best Mans speech is completed. I'm going to finalise it on Sunday. Do any OcUKers have some good advice for a first time Best Man?

Hell no, though I have just ordered Best Man for Dummies as a prop

Why don't you want us to see it?

So far I've invested around 10 hours of my life to a 5 minute speech and by the time I've finished it'll probably be around 15 hours. It's rather personal to me and I want the first person to hear it to be the groom (and the 100 odd people listening).

Don't blame you actually.

But if its personal to you and the people involved, why create a thread about it?

Because I'm after some good advice from people who have been lucky enough to be Best Man

My friend asking me to be best man is one of the biggest complements I've ever received though since then I've been lucky enough for another friend to ask me to be best man. Always the best man, never the groom
