Free Best Man Speeches

  A Kiwi bride had a four  All Black "ex-boyfriends" appear at her wedding, including  Jonah Lomu, Doug Howlett, Jerry Colins and Sonny Bill Williams. This video was put together by best man Mike Benson who knew the bride and groom loved rugby and thought he would surprise them on their wedding day.  It is a brilliant idea for a best man speech and fantastic that the four all blacks played along so well. Especially Sonny Bill with his back story too. Best Man - Mike Benson says "He's a massive rugby fan, and she and all her family are massive

This speech was kindly donated by Roger.  This speech was written in a few hours using the Best man speech workbook Fornication!!! (Put on glasses) Sorry……for an occasion…… like this, I’m supposed to tell you about Alan. I looked up his date of birth, to see what exciting events happened on that date, there was absolutely nothing. Mind you, the hospital where he was born still call that day “ugly baby Tuesday”. I didn’t know Alan at school, so I made some enquiries from friends and family, they said he was a bit of a slow developer. When he started

Bride and groom, Distinguished guests, Ladies and Gentlemen, The Venue – Parlor point, for Curtis and Beatrice today. Curtis of course out of Berril and by Mathew Argile. Well bred, good friend, odds on meeting someone like him one hundred to one. At school on the track he was hard and fast.  The filies of course very fond of curtuis, anxious for that chance in that saddle. Pardon me Beatrice. Yes very popular man. Then of course he went away now. Away down to Chch.  It was a lonely time for me you know, it's as if a party of

[wp_eStore_fancy2 id=3] [wp_eStore_cart_fancy1_when_not_empty] Ladies and Gentlemen, I’d like to thank John for his kind words and have to agree that the bridesmaids have done a fabulous job today and look absolutely wonderful ‐ only eclipsed by Jane herself. They say a problem shared is a problem halved, but I suspect John is now wondering if he has actually doubled the problems for himself by allowing us both to speak about him.   We were very nervous when John asked us to be his best men. Speaking to a few friends and colleagues who have already suffered this dubious honour I

[wp_eStore_fancy2 id=3] [wp_eStore_cart_fancy1_when_not_empty]   Well I must say that I am very nervous about making this speech. In fact this is the fifth time today that I have got off a warm seat with pieces of paper in my hand. They say a good speech is like a MINI SKIRT …… SHORT enough to be interesting but LONG enough to cover the ESSENTIALS… So here goes… First of all a big thank you to the usher for a job well done today. Especially considering he has difficulty with the alphabet and distinguishing between left and right. So I’m glad everyone

[wp_eStore_fancy2 id=3] [wp_eStore_cart_fancy1_when_not_empty] Firstly, on behalf of the bridesmaids, I’d like to thank John for his kind and thoughtful words. I’m sure we all agree that not only do the bridesmaids look fantastic, but they have done a brilliant job today – not the least of which was getting Jane to the church – I understand she put up quite a struggle! Ladies and gentlemen, if there's anybody here this afternoon who's feeling nervous, apprehensive and queasy at the thought of what lies ahead, it's probably because you have just got married to John. I'm sure you'll all agree that

[wp_eStore_fancy2 id=3] [wp_eStore_cart_fancy1_when_not_empty]   For what seems like the 10th time today I find myself rising from a warm seat clasping a piece of paper in my hand. Ladies and Gentlemen, for those of you who don’t know me, my name is Raymond and I have the privilege of being John’s best man. As such, it is with great pleasure that I get to thank John for his kind words about the Bridesmaids, Ushers, Page Boy and the Flower Girl. I think you will all agree they look fantastic and have done an excellent job of helping to make today

[wp_eStore_fancy2 id=3] [wp_eStore_cart_fancy1_when_not_empty]   Ladies and Gentlemen, John and Jane Firstly, may I start by thanking John on behalf of the Bridesmaids’ for his kind words? For those of you who don’t know me my name is Ralph. My full name is actually ‘Ralph would you‐like‐a‐drink’. For those of you who I meet in the bar later, I’d appreciate it if you could use my full name. When John asked me to be his best man, I was initially thrilled at the prospect. However, it didn't take long for this feeling of well being, to dissolve into utter apprehension, as

[wp_eStore_fancy2 id=3] [wp_eStore_cart_fancy1_when_not_empty]   Now I did ask for a microphone but was told one wasn’t available. So if you can’t hear me at the back, the silence from the people at the front should re‐assure you that you’re not missing out on anything. Being Best man is a bit like sex with Jane Clark. No one wants to do it. But it is an honour. For those of you who don’t know me, my name is Gareth And I have the honour of being Brent’s best man. To tell you the truth, I was a little bit nervous about

[wp_eStore_fancy2 id=3] [wp_eStore_cart_fancy1_when_not_empty]   Now before I tell you a few stories, I would like to say how much of an honour it is tobe provided the privilege of being Johns best man. In all honesty I have struggled somewhat in writing this speech as it has been very hard to think of stories that are appropriate for this forum. BACKGROUND OF HOW WE MET; John Diver ventured over from the mighty BOP when Graham was appointed as headmaster of Matamata College back in 1987, it would be fair to say that it was not an easy time for John,

[wp_eStore_fancy2 id=3] [wp_eStore_cart_fancy1_when_not_empty]   After an introduction like that, I can hardly wait to hear myself speak. It’s kind of a bugger because all of my stuff has been plagiarised. It reminds me of when JOHN and I were at school… He was always copying me. But it’s kind of fortunate really, because a wise man once told me that a best mans speech should be about as long as the groom makes love. So I think I’ve already gone over time… thank you all very much… [then sit down for a few seconds while the laughter of your audience

[wp_eStore_fancy2 id=3] [wp_eStore_cart_fancy1_when_not_empty]   I’m very nervous about making this speech. In fact this must be the fifth time today that I have stood up from a warm seat with pieces of paper in my hand. Now I did ask for a microphone but was told one wasn’t available. So if you can’t hear me at the back, the silence from the people at the front should re‐assure you that you’re not missing out on anything. May I start by thanking John on behalf of the Bridesmaids’, _________________________ for his kind words. I’d also like to add my own compliments

[wp_eStore_fancy2 id=3] [wp_eStore_cart_fancy1_when_not_empty]   ...Fornication,… Ladies and Gentleman… I’m terribly sorry. For an occasion like this, Ladies and Gentlemen, I think an introduction is worthwhile… for those who don’t know me, my name is Brent can I buy you a drink.‐ I hope as many of you will come and say hello at the bar later – but I do insist you use my full name. Now, I asked around for an idea of how long my speech should last and the general response was about as long as it takes the Groom to make love. So with that in

[wp_eStore_fancy2 id=3] [wp_eStore_cart_fancy1_when_not_empty]   Leading up to today John and Jane were having an issue with the seating plan. Who would sit comfortably in here & who would have to get up and stand during the speeches so we decided to use wedding present list, biggest presents at front and work it back from there. So hopefully you can hear me at the back when I say on behalf of Jane and John thank‐you very much for the teaspoons. Ladies & gentleman, boys & girls my name is Brent and I am John best man today. Let me start by

[wp_eStore_fancy2 id=3] [wp_eStore_cart_fancy1_when_not_empty]   Now before I get started, I’d like to make sure everybody can hear me….can you all hear me? For those of you who don’t know me, my name is Brent and for those of you that do … well I apologise. Firstly I would like to welcome you to this special celebration of John and Jane Marriage. Now Before I hand you over to the father of the bride I would just like to say a big “Thank you” to the bridesmaids.__________________ , flower girls ___________________ and page boy __________________ because they have all done a

[wp_eStore_fancy2 id=3] [wp_eStore_cart_fancy1_when_not_empty]   A wise man once told me that a best man’s speech should last only as long as it takes the groom to make love………so thank you ladies and gentlemen and good afternoon. [Sit down, wait a second & then continue] Hello, my name is Brent, can everybody hear me okay at the back? If so, I’ll have a Pint of Seventy Shilling, thank you. I’m very honoured to be doing this job and in time honoured Best Man tradition I will now do my best to give John the most uncomfortable 10 minutes of his life.

[wp_eStore_fancy2 id=3] [wp_eStore_cart_fancy1_when_not_empty]   Well John, I hope you made the most of your speech as now you’re a married man that’ll be the last time you get to speak for 5 minutes without being interrupted! For those of you who don’t know me, I’m Brent, John younger brother. It’s great to be stood up here today because, after all these years, John has finally admitted that I am, in fact, the best man. When I was asked to be the best man, there were a lot of things I wanted to say like how honoured and humbled I felt.

[wp_eStore_fancy2 id=3] [wp_eStore_cart_fancy1_when_not_empty]   Good afternoon ladies and gentlemen, I hope everyone is enjoying this very special day so far. It’s been an emotional day, ……..even the cake is in tiers. I would like to start by thanking John for his kind words on behalf of our lovely bridesmaids [Bridesmaids Names here]. I’m sure you will agree they have carried out their role superbly, I would also like to thank the ushers…… for at turning up sober. I think you will all agree Jane looks one in a million today. And John you look smashing also. Even though it’s plainly

[wp_eStore_fancy2 id=3] [wp_eStore_cart_fancy1_when_not_empty]   When John asked me to be Best Man, I honestly felt very honoured. And in typical Brent fashion for avoiding responsibility, I succumbed to saying to him that I felt that the role may be better suited to one of the other guys. A couple of days later, John phoned me and admitted that I was in fact the best of a bad bunch. I was understandably a little offended at this and I told him that I was certainly not a man that could be bought. So to avoid confrontation, he offered to pay for

[wp_eStore_fancy2 id=3] [wp_eStore_cart_fancy1_when_not_empty]   Hi my name is Brent and John has asked me to be his best man for this wonderfu loccasion. I would like to say it is a very special honour but with it, comes the responsibility of giving the bloody speech. I would not say it is very comfortable to wear a tuxedo in a 100-degree church, which is not air-conditioned. The church ceremony I’m sure you’ll all agree was a wonderful, wonderful occasion. Maybe a little hot, but I’m glad to see so many of you have replaced your electrolytes with fuel of the alcoholic

[wp_eStore_fancy2 id=3] [wp_eStore_cart_fancy1_when_not_empty]   Ladies and Gentlemen.  My name is Brent, and on behalf of John and Jane, I would like to thank you for attending this blessed event today! I promise to keep my words brief, as I know we’re all here to witness the spectacle that is John dancing. Jane and John have each walked many miles to be here together today, and this wedding is a joy to behold. I can speak for everyone in this room, when I say to you both that we wish you all the happiness that you deserve. We are so glad
