Bestman Speech For The Good Times
By Natalie Glass
It is a common joke that to be asked to serve as the
bestman at an upcoming wedding is somewhat like being
requested to take the Queen Mother on a whirl around
the dance floor. Even though it is an honor, it’s also
a task many people would rather not undertake. One of
the primary reasons for this opinion is because of having
to give the bestman speech at the wedding reception.
Unless you are accustomed to frequently standing up
in front of a large crowd and speaking, the bestman
speech can be a nerve-racking task for even the most
stout of heart and fearless of friends.
During the wedding reception, the attention and the
pressure turns to the bestman to say some memorable
words about the bride and groom. The speech should be
sincere, heartfelt and entertaining all at the same
time, but for many men, it is a task that brings sweat
to their brow and makes their mouth as dry as a desert.

Guidelines For A Bestman Speech
Of course, some of the pressure that the bestman feels
regarding the bestman speech is the desire to say the
perfect thing and not cause any embarrassment in front
of the wedding crowd. Fortunately, with a bit of help
and a few guidelines, it can be much simpler than some
people make it out to be, for the bestman to craft a
good wedding speech.
Writing the bestman speech will require some focused
time, a fair amount of patience, some creativity and
some hard work. If someone thought highly enough of
you to ask you to do the honors of serving as their
bestman, then you should know that you are on the right
track.
Talk About The Good Times
Focus on the relationship that you have with the couple
and the good times that you have enjoyed together. Soon,
you will have the foundation for some wonderful words
about them that you can share with friends and family.
Some of the things that will help you formulate your
bestman speech are the following: your relationship
with them and the reasons they chose you as the bestman,
basic and simple descriptions of them and their personalities,
five positive adjectives for each of them, what the
groom was like before meeting his bride and how he has
changed in the course of their courtship, how they met
and how their relationship developed, marital advice
you feel qualified to share and any amusing stories
or anecdotes that you know about them that will help
others at the wedding gain insights about them as a
couple.
Helpful Resources Online
You will also find additional helpful resources online
to assist in the writing of a wedding speech or wedding
toast. There are many sites that give examples of wedding
speeches and toasts that can be used to spark ideas
or even a basic outline. If the couple has chosen a
specific wedding theme, then the theme can also be useful
in adding special elements to the speech that help illustrate
the couple’s personality and taste.
Keep in mind that while humor in a bestman speech can
help to lighten up the mood and shift the event from
the formality of the ceremony to the celebration of
the wedding reception, the humor must remain positive
and upbeat for the occasion.
Most important of all, make sure that the words are
sincere and come from the heart. Even if you are nervous,
the things you have to say will be memorable.

What is the history of wedding speeches?
Wedding speeches started out as
blessings given by the male members of the family. It
was unusual in most parts of the world for a woman to
give a speech or a blessing to the new couple. This,
of course, has changed over the past hundred years.
Women are always welcome to give a speech.
Historically the wedding speech
was not what we would think of it today. It was not
filled with jovial reminders of familiarity nor was
it as laid back. The wedding blessing was a solemn rite
given to ensure the new couple of fertility and heavenly
blessing on their fledgling marriage.
