Right its time i started to think about my speech for my mates wedding in a couple of months time. Now this is going to be a difficult one as he moved away to another area which is over 180 miles away and that was about 15 years ago when he was 20. In that time i have only met him approx a dozen times but we do keep in touch via email, text etc etc.
He's a prison officer so i was thinking along the lines of using that to get the LOL's and also using the fact that he moved away from his home town where he couldn't get his hole and as soon as he's away he gets a gf who will be his future wife.
I know some on here are witty and good with the patter so any help will be appreciated.
Am away to work now so here's hoping i can have a few ideas

I'm absolutely crap at speech writing, however there are websites that do specialise in Best Mans Speeches, and are well wortha look.
A quick google should point you in the right direction.
Best of luck

lots of general stuff you can whizz in if you just personalise it a bit.
As dibdobs said...lots of websites that will offer tips
have been struggling for a while with my father for the bride speech...just three weeks left to polish it off...but is the easy speech....you definitely have the showstopper so good luck with it  |

I meant to add, its only a small formal wedding, nothing fancy with less than 20 guest and both families of the couple are well mannered, polite and church going people so it has to be clean
I have looked at some websites but its how i can use thats he's a prison officer or how he fucked off all those years ago to make it personal i am struggling with  |

Unless you know the audience really well - be very careful about being funny.
There's nothing worse than opening with your best gag to total silence and then watching tumbles blow across the room... |

GO for the prison officer thing - i was at a funtion a few years ago and the speaker was a prison governor.
He did a really good speech, all about him basically running the best hotel in town...
Many of his clients came to stay time and time again.
Some clients spent their whole life there.
He has whole families staying etc etc. |

Tell the wedding guests how the Brinks Mat robbers got away with £35m and only got an average of 13 years inside....
As apposed to the groom who gets nothing and is subjected to a life sentence.... |

A good clean one for best man speech is to put talc on the paper...fold it and as you open it at the table blow the talc (which looks like dust) off and say ..."sorry this has been wrote for a long time"  |

ask as many guys as you who are going to bring an old key with them,and bring one yourself.at the end of the speach u say the bride once gave you a house key to drop in when groom was away(use their names obviously)for some sneaky fun before it got serious,and you want to return it now.place it in a bowl or maybe an empty pint glass that you have left for this.ask if any other males have keys (for brides house)that they no longer need.all the guys you told to bring keys then walk up and place in key in bowl/glass. |

Depends if you want to go techie.
I did one last year for an old friend as a tongue in cheek powerpoint presentation and a projector. You can run graphs that are animated with lines going up and don like a cock rising and one or two other graphics with music and it also gives you the chance to read footnotes.
Ok not always possible to do but when you put flashing baby pics or in my mates case a naked ass you get a laugh.
Sure you will get many ideas from here though and you can pick bits here and there |

I've known xxxx for a very long time and, to be honest, it was beginning to look like he was never going to get married - some of us did wonder if he was batting for the other side, especially when he took a job in an all-male environment! But there's no need to worry, we soon realised he's just a control freak. So (turn to bride) xxxx you better be on your best behaviour or he'll have you doing press ups in the exercise yard! ... and be careful in the shower! |
