Humorous Wedding Speech – Reasons I Admire the Groom
Good evening Ladies and Gentlemen - I’m not an experienced public speaker, so I find it easier just to read the speech word for word. In fact, I’ve practiced it almost daily for about a week and a half now, so that I know it very well. It’s a tip that I read in a book about public speaking. I’ve also been drinking profusely to help calm my pre-speech nerves. I made that tip up myself.

Yes, I am a little nervous about being the best man. But I am more bothered with the title of 'best man'. Saying that I'm the best man is saying quite a bit. If I'm the best man, why is Maria marrying Karl? So I'm just happy saying that I am a pretty good man, because today Karl is the

He never used them.
3) His determination – most patently demonstrated as a cub scout at camp, where Karl held the record for avoiding the camp latrine – or the ‘brown barrel collector’ as we used to call it. Some cubs reckoned he could last a whole week, and I’m sure it was this early training in discipline that helped Karl on to a successful career.
4) His vision – we can see for ourselves how gorgeous Maria looks today, which proves the one thing I’ve always known about Karl - that he’s definitely a man of vision - often blurred, sometimes double, but nonetheless a man of vision who’s been lucky enough to have spotted a real beauty.
5) His charm – having taken the decision to propose to Maria, he whisked her off to Paris for a romantic weekend. They dined at expensive restaurants, took passionate walks along the river, went up the Eiffel Tower… then he took her back to Weymouth and popped the question back at the flat. Now that sort of style is beyond the reach of the ordinary man.
6) His sentimental side - what with the way he fell to his knees and wept when he first discovered I’d organized strippers for his stag night (bachelor’s party).
7) His unwavering self confidence – which is particularly evident today. It has been an expensive few weeks for Karl but he doesn’t look in the least
Finally, a personality trait that most women wish their husbands had, the ability to listen. Listening to his Dad and friend, Reuven demonstrates it the most. “My father stopped, looked at me with a smile, and said, “You are not asleep yet, Reuven?” “No Abba.” …. I smiled back at him and waited patiently” (143). As a person can clearly see, Reuven listened to his father intently during his whole lecture, thus proving his amazing ability to listen. Another example exists when his friend Danny and him started a long walk to Danny’s house. During their walk, Danny talked to him the whole time, and all Reuven did, was look at him and listened to what he had to say. Hence, when Danny kept on babbling about whatever he had to exclaim, Reuven stood to his wonderful character, and listened.

Good evening Ladies and Gentlemen - I would like to start by thanking Frank on behalf of the bridesmaids for his kind comments and echo the fact that they look wonderful and performed their role fantastically well, despite the inevitable and healthy rivalry that can sometimes occur. In fact, just before the service I overheard a furious sisterly argument about who was going to be first to dance with the best man. Understandable, I thought - until I got closer and heard them saying, 'You!', 'no, you!'
Good evening. I would like to begin by welcoming each and every one of you to this joyous and stressful occasion.
1. He ___________________ a professional musician. He plays the violin so badly. 2. He _________________ lots of money.
Good evening Ladies and Gentlemen - I am the groom's father, Ken, and I have the great privilege of being best man. I have recently found out there are two reasons why J W asked me to do this job. 1) To make him look younger and slimmer in the photos. 2) Because he didn't want to burden any of his friends with the terrible prospect of having to give this speech.
Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. On behalf of the bridesmaids, I must thank Donald for his kind words. I must also thank all of you for coming today - I know how hard it is to get a day release.
5. Were you more surprised or impressed with Andre’s ability to articulate his emotions? Why?
His look was centered around his utter confidence, smug demeanor, aloof presence, and his smirk that could make you feel as if he knows your deepest, darkest secrets. His eyes sparkled
Now Mike, some people will tell you that marriage is a 50/50 partnership. I don't know who made
Alex addressed the room with the kindness of a future king. “Welcome, all, to the first ball in ages!” Everyone cheered. “I’m sure you have all heard of the legend of the two princes in mad love with the commoner. How lucky are all of you to be alive in the time of their reincarnation?” More loud cheers were followed by small laughs. I lightly hit Alex’s arm as I suppressed a laugh of my own. “Funny things aside, I know you all see this beautiful woman beside me. I’m hoping she will one day be my queen. Wouldn’t that be amazing?” For the third time, the crowd cheered and I could barely keep myself from
In order to have a last look into her personality, it is important to complete her description with some of her own words (line 203) about the conditions that must have a good husband:
Now while I cannot promise to keep to each of these demands. I have tried to take the responsibility of best man very seriously indeed. I would like to share with you some of my duties I have been involved with. One of my first tasks was to help get the groom fitted for a kilt. We had arranged to meet up at the kilt hire shop and I was running. a little late so when I arrived he had already chosen a kilt. "What's the tartan?" (pronounced Tart-in) I asked to which he answered "Oh, I’m pretty sure the bride will be wearing a dress.”
I think being a best man can be a very nerve racking experience…(pause)… if there’s one person here this afternoon feeling nervous, apprehensive and queasy about what lies ahead….then it’s probably because you’ve just married Leon.
