Another point, surely you still have time to speak to the groom's parents or siblings for some stories?

Is there anything else he is into, surely something along the lines of:
Last night Tony and I were chatting about his tattoos. I suggested Tony get the date of such a monumental moment of his life tattooed onto his arm, he agreed and last night had 25th May 1977 added to his arm, the date Star wars was released.
Obviously not that, but you get the picture.

You need a word with NSChat's Gullsworth as he is a veteran of at many Best man speeches.
Ps. he may even give out tips on how to bed the Bridesmaid.

And it's all gone quiet..
I did one for my mate's wedding in '96. I basically wrote a script, rehearsed it ad nauseum, and reeled it off at the do. Went down a treat, and as it happens, someone videoed it, so to this day I can watch my Stella performance

I'm guessing by the
it was more Stella than stellar.

Surely that's the perfect opportunity to tell a non-racist version of the "Welcome to Jamaica have a nice day" joke?
What's the brides name?

just don't get nervous and tongue tied............
"the groom tells me he would like to thank the bride's parents for their perky little copulator ...... sorry, I meant to say 'little coffee perculator' ......"

Care to elaborate please Lush, I've never heard that one!! The Brides name is Rhian.
My fiancee is the brides sister so I won't be going out of my way to cop off with any of the bridesmaids. He isn't in touch with his folks anymore and only met half of his family for the 1st time in 20odd years last night. There's so many areas that are a defo no go, I'm doomed I tell ye
As mention my biggest concern is getting tongue tied and at this stage its just about getting through it I'm afriad. Whiskey is definately on the cards
I like that idea about the tattoo, he's into motor bikes aswell I suppose

"What an emotional days its been, even the cakes in tears!!"
& "hope you have a lovely time in North Wales for the honeymoon, I presume thats where you are going as I overheard (insert grooms name) earlier saying he was just going to Bangor for a couple of weeks"

So I was stood next to the groom in the urinal, looked over and thought that's nice, he's had Rhian tatooed on his penis specially for the wedding night. So I complimented him on his tattoo and he said that it actually says "Really I was hoping to marry Brian."

Cheers Lush. I'm not sure I have the balls to say penis infront of my future family and inlaws tho
Nearly done now, not great by a long stretch but should get me through it.
Can someone please help me finish this paragraph or completely reword it if necessary, having a complete creative block!!! He's got lizards, snakes and spiders and I just wanted to say something funny about what these pets say about what type of husband he'll be
"His remaining more exotic pets show his sense of individuality or you could say uniqueness. Therefore the evidence suggests Tony will be a devote, loving husband with......................."

Start off with the lords prayer joke then have a brief discourse about the peculiarity of being asked to be best man eg .... I was speaking to a friend of ..... (groom's name) the other day and I was curious why he asked me to be his best man when we've only known each other for .... years. He reckoned that if ..... had asked anyone who'd known him longer there are a shedload of highly embarrasing and disgraceful episodes in his past they might refer to that he hasn't shared with the radiant ravishing Rhian. I pushed him to give me some examples so here are a few of the more polite ones ...... make the rest up!!

I have done a few and always started with this Albion themed self deprecating line to get the audience on side..."excuse me if I'm a little nervous but as many of you know I'm big Brighton fan (pause for comedy effect)...and I'm not used to such big crowds"

Thanks to Guinness Dave
Sure its all be said but the best things I learnt are:
Praise the bride
Get some childhood stories from family members
Dont take the piss out of him too much, what is funny with your mates down the pub isnt funny to her mum, dad, nan, auntie etc...
DONT drink too much before the speach
When you write it, time yourself reading it out. Aim for about 7mins because this will be about 5mins when you do it on the day because you will be nervous and talk faster.
Allow room for things about the day to be added in. The best joke I got was something someone said (another NSC'r) just after the vows and it went down a treat.
Last thing, enjoy it. If you are standing there looking terrified then it will come accross to the audiance. If you look like you are having fun it will all go so much better.
Good Luck.
