  • Embarrassing tales from the Groom’s past (such as the day he got locked out of his hotel room in his ‘birthday suit’, the day he dressed up as a woman for charity but was a little ‘too’ convincing, or the time when he was thrown off the train for being unable to pay for his ticket etc. – you know the stuff we mean).
  • Humorous stories about your past escapades together (like the time the pair of you were a bit worse for ware and slept rough because you didn’t know where you were, the time two of you were tapped up by a couple of drag queens, or that day when both of you went go-karting and were humiliated off the track by a seven year old girl etc.)
  • A couple of quips about the Bride and Groom (such as tales from when they first met, the proposal etc. – make sure that this bit mixes sincerity with light-hearted humour).
  • A sincere few words about the Groom. Tell all the guests just what a great fellow he is and how lucky the Bride and her family are to be welcoming him into their futures. It may be corny, but deep down you’re his best mate, so make sure that everyone knows just why you value his friendship so much (however, do not mention this if your friendship is merely a smokescreen for the long-lasting crush you’ve had on his sister, or worse still, him!)
  • Some words about how happy you are for both of them, how you wish them all the best for the future, how you knew it was meant to be right from the beginning and how perfect they are for each other. If you are after a few extra brownie points, mention the phrase, ‘it’s not like losing a mate, it’s like gaining one more’.
  • A toast to the Bride and Groom at the end of your speech. Raise your glass, take a sit back, sit down, shut up and relax – at last!
