I post this here as there is more throughfare.

Rev has completely lost it with this one , I am best man at a work friends wedding tomorrow and I havn't written a speech because I've always been able to wing shit like that with some sharp wit and fuck about.

Not this time though , I really have fucked up cos even though I have a routine that I've thought up , I can't see me delivering it well ..... I have to say that confidence is not my forte these days.

It's too late now to back out .... and whatever I say will either be shit or more shit , so can't win.

Better get pissed and feint a heart attack or something.

The weddings tomorrow so no advice please , just trying to say you can be the dogs most / all of the time but sometimes you can get lost just like everyone else .

And before you say it's easy .....it's not I have done it twice before ... but I'm older now .

If I could be Reverberator or Cockney Cant at the reception I wouldn't have a problem ......

Real life over e-life = BIG difference.

Just turn to the groom, then motion with your head towards his new bride and say "Fuck her. I did." Drain your champagne flute and sit down.

Coming up with the jokes for a best man speech is a lot easier these days with the internet. Sounds like you did fine before or you wouldn't have been asked to do a 3rd.

Still it's always incredibly stressful, I've done 3 so far 2 went really well the other was a bit mixed. I'd happily never do it again. Not a great idea to get too drunk. I did one where I had 5 double vodkas 10 minutes beforehand but most of it kicked in after the speech leaving me a bit of a drunken mess by the end of the night.

I know you said no advice but I do have a cool trick I came up with. As you know it's traditional for the best man to read out the greeting cards after the speech. Stick a fake card in with a gag - it catches everyone off guard because they are expecting to be bored at that bit plus you can even write the joke on the card and it's the one time reading a joke straight from a card is fine. It could be just as simple as a congratulations card from the local booze shop or if you are more daring a sperm count test result or whatever.

I brought the house down with a slow build up gag doing that a good few years ago.

There is no record of it now though as the guy taped over all the wedding videos after the divorce... :)

Cool ...cheers guys.

I pulled it off , but I was helped by the driver of the limosene taking us to the wrong church ... good opening gambit....it went really well off the cuff.

I really worried about this... but in the end no drama.

Funny how it's always like this... I guess it's because the more we worry, the smaller the "problem" will seem when it's solved.

Did you talk about the bride's tits?

Cheers! :bottle:
