Howdy y'all.

So I'm hitting a brick wall writing a best mans speech. Its not my first rodeo (its actually my fourth!)

That said with this one im struggling,

Soooo does anyone have any good speech ideas/stories?

Seeing some ideas might get the ol' brain juices going I hope!

Whoever the groom is, you must know them very well to have an embarrassing story for everyone to hear, there's some sites online that give you ideas, google best man speeches

That said my biggest tip, which i should probably heed myself, is to just make the groom laugh. As long as he gets it then youre all good.

Im not one for vulgar speeches either, talking about ex's and stuff is never a great idea in my mind (unless you know the bride well enough to know she'd be cool with it!).

Did I ever tell you the story of how I almost died fighting forest fires in Chile?...

It sounds better than I almost died lighting my cigars off a burning bush because I'd lost my matches in a bar while d*unk

I've seen so many best man speeches it's actually surprising how many just follow the usual formula. How the couple met.

My best mate is amazing.

Thank you's.

Embarrassing tales.

Stag do tales.

One good one I did see was the best man had done a slideshow of hideously embarrassing photos and video clips in a this is your life style, using all his mates contributions.

Choose wisely though

My 'fight them on the beaches' one didn't quite hit the right note

Yeah I think ill fall into that sketch. Just no really major embarassing stories which is the tricky part.

His worst is getting so d*unk he was only half conscious and then attempting to pull (pre current partner) by just walking up to random girls and poking them. when they turned around he'd just stare goofily at them until i noticed, apologised to the girl and dragged him away. Bless him he tried it with many different girls that night lol

I wrote a really good best man's speech for my ex, years ago. Except with him being on the top table, i was sat alone with his friends, who bought me drink after drink after drink... and d*unk me is a liability . D*unk me decided to loudly announce to everyone that I'd written the speech, not my then husband. That went down well.

I vaguely remember getting carted off to our hotel room trying to simultaneously sing and hurl abuse at his ex.

Don't google speeches, nothing more painful than someone shoehorning generic jokes in which could be about anyone. All people want to hear is a few mildly embarrassing anecdotes about the groom, praise the bride and do a nice toast.
