Beautiful Speeches Beautiful Speeches is dedicated to helping people prepare for wedding speeches that they normally don’t have to give. Whether it’s the grooms, the best man’s wedding speech, or the father of the bride speech; our e-book will give you the tips you need to get through the speech. Let’s face it; you don’t want to say the wrong thing. The Best Man’s Speech The truth is that a better best man speech is one that you do not rehearse for, letting it out from the heart tends to create a better speech. However try to remember the following when giving your speech: Be Sober! The last thing you want to do is give a speech while drunk, you may say things that were never meant to be heard by the bride and her family. You also don’t want the groom knowing any resenting feelings you have towards him. As the best man you will probably be expected to drink, wait to over do it after your speech Start at the Beginning It is always good to say how you and the groom met, especially if you two are friends and not siblings. Not everyone at the wedding will know who you are so let them know why you were chosen as the best man Make Sure to Mention the New Bride As mentioned above, it is good to mention how you and the groom met but briefly. Your speech should not be about you and him but about him and his new bride. Make sure to say why she is perfect for him even if you really do not like her. Be Respectful This is a no brainer! Remember there will be kids there and people who do not need to hear any obscenities. Be funny, Make it Memorable You can find a way to be funny without being obscene; a funny story about the groom is always good. This is your time to shine and be remembered at the party so that you’re not just some guy. The Groom’s Speech This is one of the happiest days of your life. Since this is your dream girl (hopefully), a good groom’s speech will come directly from the heart; however do try to consider the following: Be Sober!
