Free Best Man Speech | Funny stories to tell

The Best man has a certain responsibility to bring to a wedding celebration, that is humor and the ability to tell a funny story or two in his best man speech. To obtain a full guaranteed workable best man speech template visit www.the-best-man-speech.com
Below is an extract funny story template that you could use in your Best man speech or read just for motivation to think of something that may be more relevant to your friend. But remember these words of caution. Any story you tell must be suitable to the audience and must not compromise the grooms relationship with the bride or any of his family (new or old).

I have known _(grooms name)__ since we were in primary school. He has been a loyal, kind and entertaining friend. I remember when we first began hanging out after school, we would walk to the park on the way home, from which his parents would pick him up every school day. I used to walk home, so I left when I wanted and took as much time as I wanted. __(Grooms name)__ on the other hand was always there at the park punctually. Many a time a conversation was cut short, by his parents collecting him from the designated spot at said designated time. Alas that is one of the few memories of  _(grooms name)__ being punctual, because it seems shortly after those few years punctuality fell off the important list. For those that know _(grooms name)__ well, you must have at least encountered the phenonmenon of __(grooms name)__ Time. __(grooms name)__ Time in its most concise definition is “ a separate time scale used by a Mr __(grooms full name)__”. Examples of this range between _(grooms name)__ arriving 30 min – several hours late for an agreed time. At some stage our group of friends got so fed up with _(grooms name)_ turning up soo late we secretly began revealing a separate time for _(grooms name)__ knowing he would be late, for instance if we were to meet at 7.30, we would tell _(grooms name)_ 7. He would still turn up late, just not as late. I must say that in the last few years __(grooms name)_ has turning up on time, I’m sure from __(brides name)__ influence. But occasionally the old _(grooms name)__ slips out of the confines, and he doesn’t make it somewhere anywhere near the time prescribed. As the groomsmen, we couldn’t let this happen today so we set his watch an hour ahead just to be sure the Groom made it to the wedding before the bride.

Should i really buy a best man speech?

It is not strange to be a best man and think whether you should buy a professional and proven speech for the occasion. Some men believe that for a formal occasion speeches can be comparable to clothes and like fashion it is better to buy a proven style that suits you then to make your own. Afterall as long as everybody on the night leaves happy and still has a good impression of you after the best man speech.

Then on the other hand you have some sensitive folk believe that a 'bought' speech will not have the same impact on the audience as a personally hand written speech made by you. The fact that you are buying a speech 'off the shelf' to describe a close friendship that is unique within itself can be a deterrent for many best men. This is why so many Best men either write very long winded and detailed speeches and bore the audience. Or they believe that they will not even write a speech and make one up on spontanously on the evening. Perhaps the latter is the worst option a 'Best man' can choose to make, because most often than not a best man tends to drink more than the groom himself during the day/afternoon and at best can hardly string a coherent sentence together by the end of it.
Where as if a best man prepared a speech or at worse even bought a template and filled in the blanks than at least the best man could enjoy himself with the groom during the day of ceremony and celebration without any stress or concern for the speech.

In fact many men overlook the benefit of a bought best man speech template. The benefits of a good best man speech template are that it saves time, relieves stress and worrying, is short and too the point, is effective, funny and is usually a proven success.
The audience on the night will determine your success or not. A wedding audience usually has a very diverse audience demographic anyway; there can be nieces and nephews to grandmothers and great grandfathers. Some might be drinking and some may not, but there is only one guarantee you can count on with all of them. They will all be wanting for you to do well, meaning they all do not want to see you embarrass yourself or the bride and groom.

With this in mind the question whether you should buy a best man speech is really entirely up to you. As long as you achieve the same outcome and ake sure that everyone has a joyful night.

Best Man Speech Examples | Jokes

It is widely publicised and accepted in main stream media that a 'Best Man' speech at a wedding attracts a certain type of humour from all 'Best Man'. This humour is only focused at the groom and no one else. However some best man jokes are too much and can be offensive to the groom. The negative impact from this is that the audience will become uncomfortable and will remember your face the rest of the night but for all the wrong reasons.
I endorse best men to include 'light hearted humour' into their best man speech but always caution against under-thought out jokes which are offensive. Since the age gap in the audience can be anything from 6- 116 there are only particulare types of jokes that can be acceptably included in your speech.

For instance, commenting on how your buddy went out and bought chocolates and flowers for valentines day but sent them to the wrong addres  is an acceptable joke and not an offensive one. An offensive joke may be a personal physical deformity he may have or something similar that he has no control of. The mixture of alcohol and speeches can be dangerous. Be aware that as the best man you hold much power in the words you say. This power must not be underestimated. If you need help writing a really fucking awesome best man speech then visit: The Best Man Speech Template. This resource provides universal content for you to use in a guaranteed successful best man speech.

Best Man Speech Outline

Writing a best man speech outline can help in setting up your speech structure to make it flow easier and give you the best opportunity to live up to your 'best man stature'. A basic best man speech outline contains the following:
  1. Formal Introduction -Needs to be very short and sweet. Here you need to formally introduce yourself as the best man  (your name) and give toasts to the bride and bridesmaids (also mention how beautiful the bride looks) Basically you want to get all the formalities out of the way early on in the introduction. Another tip is also recognising the mother of the bride and also the mother of the groom for their participation in the wedding and anybody else that you/groom knows of.
  2. Back Story - Aim for between 1-3 mins. As best man you need to explain how you personally know the groom and tell a quick funny story about him and the bride. This funny story should be able to be tied into your 'Ending' as a funny clincher.
  3. Content - Aim for 3 mins. The stories need to be very short and should be a minute or less in length. This would be typically stories or recollections you had of the groom only. Do not bring up past girlfriends or ex-wifes etc.
  4. Ending - 1-2 minutes. The ending should be a funny joke of the groom but tied into the 'back story'. The aim of the ending is to leave on a 'high' and have everybody from nieces and nephews to grandma in tears laughing!. Hopefully you will have a standing ovation for your best man speech.
 If you are having writers block and can not think of any content or any funny back story to include in your speech for your groom; then do not start stressing. There is a 'universal' Best man speech template available that has a money back guarantee that provides all content that will fill in your blank looking piece of paper within 5 minutes.

Best Man Speech Examples

You are a best man and needing examples of speeches to use for your own. Who can blame you? this was the very first thing i did as well... However i wish i had someone to tell me that it really was a waste of my time and that i should stop. Really the amount of time i spent trawling from page to page in google's search i could of written one myself, or with the amount of money i could of earnt in those hours instead i could of paid somebody to write a killer speech for me!

Infact it was really the latter that helped me the most. What's that you say? Did i actually pay somebody to write my 'Best Man' speech? ... Absolutely!  well not in the truer sense but close enough. I actually paid for 'killer' best man speech template. I soon later found out there were hundreds of these speech templates available online. But that would not of mattered because i had found a winner. This best man speech template was not for free but did cost $20.00 and was the best decision that i made.
