Best Man Speeches

[mosesbotbol]

Whatever you say, the biggest tip there is:

Do not start out a speech say "I don't do this often... Not good at giving speeches..."

The audience has no idea if you are virgin at speaches or is a seasoned speaker until you just said I suck and time to get drink if you don't have one.

Other important tips:

Limit the "I's" like like "I think". Who else is thinking if it is not you? Limit the "um's" and repeititious words one uses when at a loss for words.

Keep the stories polite for the whole of the audience. Cocaine binges and three-somes stories may be a hoot when talking among the guys, but the parents and relatives may not think so.
