Your
best buddy is getting married, you have been chosen to
be the best man and you are being pressured to give a speech at the
wedding.
This is usually a nice situation to be in, but not always. Below I
explain some
steps that you can take to deliver a great, yet simple Best Man wedding speech.
Be humorous
Laughter always makes everything better.
Laughter is
contagious, it helps you to connect to people, whoever they might be,
and that
is why funny people are easier to get along with than those who are
serious all
the time. Try to use humor as much as possible in your speech but not
in any
explicit way, it is never appropriate for such occasions no matter who
the
audience might be. I am sure if you have been chosen as a best man
because you
are pretty close to the groom or the bride or both, so you have spent
significant
amount of time with them. During the time you have spent with either of
them,
try to include in your speech something ridiculous or hilarious that
might have
happened, this is totally acceptable. When you do that, you relate to
the
people getting married and you connect to the audience by making them
laugh.
Be Sincere
You have been chosen to be best man
because the groom and
the bride believe in you, so when giving your speech, you are expected
to tell
a truthful story about them. This is the time to talk about your
relationship
with them to the audience. You can talk about how you met them, what
kind of
person they are, how much they love each other and such. Things always
seem to run
smoothly when we tell people what’s interesting about them, so giving a
best
man speech is a right time to do that by pointing out the future
couples’
strong personalities or characters.
Know Your Speech
It is very critical that you know your
speech because it
allows you to be yourself and facilitates your job at giving the
speech. You
can always have the speech paper as reference if you forget something
but you
should not be depended on it. Things seem so natural when you are
looking at
the audience all the time, you are gesturing to them, which allows you
to
visually connect to the people you are speaking to. Knowing you speech
also
makes you trustworthy and emphasizes the belief of you speaking from
your
heart.
Use those simples tips above in your
speech and I promise
you that you will deliver a great wedding speech
