|
Note down some rough ideas.
|
|
|
Do not make the speech too long.
|
|
|
Be selective with the details.
|
|
|
Do not include anything in the speech that may offend any of the wedding party or guests.
|
|
|
Unless you have
some genuinely funny tales to tell of the grooms exploits, avoid them.
If you are going to make jokes, make sure they have a ring of truth
about them that will be familiar to the guests. |
|
|
Be careful with the "you had to be there" scenario.
|
|
|
The speech should be amusing, though should avoid upsetting the bride
in any way.
|
|
|
Avoid references to money, ex lovers and past arguments!
|
|
|
The best man should read any telegrams or cards from absent guests.
and sum up with a final toast to The Bride and Groom, and announce the cutting of the cake.
