ok guys, i want good ideas and tips.. bare in mind, i hope to be really pished when it comes to doing this, i have started on it this weekend, i want to try and make it as funny as possible, but without upsetting anyone, for instance, you could tell a joke that somome might think is funny, yes somone else could be insulted and get a pie thrown at them, and start a massive food fight (hey good idea)
but martin who is getting married, who i have known since i was about 5 years old, is known for being very tight with his money, so wanna make a few jokes about that
when he asked me to be best man, he took me out for a meal, which was nice, and i wondered what the occasion was, he said no occasion really.. so then when we finished the meal and it was time to pay at the bar, he turned round and said to me.. mathew, i got a favor to ask
i thought that he was gonna say he forgot his wallet and could i pay for the meal :) i was shocked that he then asked me to be best man, and honured… but not as shocked as i was when he went to the bar and got his wallet out :)
maybe i need to ask owen, to google best man speeches for me
the best tip i no soulie, is to remeber the brides name and not to use an ex name of his pml……….ive been to a wedding where the best man did that……omg was terrible :lol: :lol:
good luck and im sure youl be great xxxx
There`s quite a few examples of Best man speeches on this site soulie:
http://www.hitched.co.uk/speeches/examples/index.aspGood luck, I don`t envy you :? :wink:
i’ll leave it short then and just say… martin is buying in the drinks :)
Our best man will be ripping the sh*t out of my other half as they`ve known each other for so long. They`ve gone through a lot of stuff together ie pranks and tricks while in the Army so I`m really looking forward to his speech. Plus the Bestman is a geordie so it goes without saying he`s got a fantastic sense of humour :D
As long as any speech is kept lighthearted I think it`ll be ok.Hiya mate,
Reckon you should go the whole hog and have a David brent style speech prepared.
There’s lots of ways you can tell jokes about Martin and his skin-flint ways. For instance you could say I’m gonna make this a short speech, because i’m charging Martin 20p a minute for me sevices and when i told him about this he replied okay 5 mins maximum,noooo I’m not saying he’s tight but he once dropped a penny, went down to pick it up and it hit him in the back of the neck :lol:
Infact if his wife was a Virgin he’s have some idea tonight what it feels like to be so tight….. but as we all know she’s been around the block more times than a tramps dog :wink:
but seriously though, Martins done really well to find someone(you turn at this point to look at his wife) as pretty, honest, witty and sexy…….as me to be his best man :lol: and Clare….. yeah…. apparantly shes a good cook so he’s laughing.
etc etc, you never know mate, there may be a comic scout in the crowd and the’ll sign you up,. seroiously thoug, when i was a best man, I read it out a few times to my best mate, so maybe we can get together and go through it this week if you like, it’ll help when the big day comes too.

yeah, please mate.. would appriciate a hand, love the joke about 20p a min, would go down well that one
I always find it funny when you tell the groom where the brides tickly and sweet spots are :roll: :twisted:
if you are worried about people not laughing then a great tool to use is a hankie!!
explain to people that you will be telling bad jokes and that you will raise the hankie and wave it when you want them to laugh! works brilliantly and if someone laughs before you raise the hanky you can have fun taking the mick out of them saying they are drunk and must be seeing things
i shall pm you some lines to use

his best man knows the story about the clothes in the kitchen (remember that one BB :shock: ) when I met his parents………..boy I ain’t looking forward to that speach :lol:
