Best Man jokes and one-liners are the center of attention today as we reach the the top of our Top 20 Best Man Jokes and today can unveil the four funniest Best Man jokes as we announce Number 4 to Number 1. As ever my golden rule applies, I only entertain short jokes and one-liners, a constant stream of these throughout your Best Man speech will provide laughter and applause galore as opposed to 1 or 2 long-winded jokes.

John asked me if I thought marriage was like a lottery, I quickly told him not to be so ridiculous, with the lottery you at least have a slight chance.

As Best Man it is my duty to remind everyone that marriage is made in heaven, but then again, so is thunder and lightening.

I’m a married man and I have often heard the phrase that, marriage is a 50/50 affair, well whoever came-up that phrase obviously knows little about marriage or little about fractions.

John told me that he received a call from his father early in the morning. His father said “Today will be the happiest day of your life, one that you wish you could relive over and over again”, John said “But the wedding is not until tomorrow, today I am just playing golf and having a few beers with my buddies”, to which his father replied, “exactly son,exactly.”
Over the course of the last 3 Fridays you will have seen 20 of the funniest Best Man jokes available, on Monday we will go back to the format of a Best Man speech and look at ways that a Best Man can introduce himself whilst giving his Best Man speech. Until then folks have a great weekend.

Best Man speeches are meant to be a combination of humor and sincerity. Keeping on the humor track, another funny way to make the Groom squirm is by inserting a “When I first heard he was getting married my reaction was…” line. These lines should be one-liners and are sure to put a smile on all listening. Here are 3 examples;
When I first heard he was getting married I was overjoyed, marriage will teach John loyalty, honor and a myriad of other qualities he would have missed out on by staying single.
When I first heard he was getting married I thought to myself the lengths this man will go to, to get his laundry done for free.
When I first heard he was getting married I was over the moon, and really looking forward to our special day, but enough about the Bachelor Party.
You should personalize the lines to fit in with the Groom’s personality and traits. Tomorrow we look at the 4 Funniest Best Man Jokes Ever as we reach the top of our countdown of the Top 20 Best Man Jokes.

The Best Man speech is the highlight of all the wedding speeches with both funny wedding jokes and Best Man one-liners essential for a successful Best Man speech.
Another way to insert light-hearted humor into your Best Man speech is the use of anagrams. The trick is to not to try to get too clever, keep them short and simple, so that they are easy for the wedding guests to digest. Ideally if you could make an anagram out of the Bride and Groom’s names that would be perfect but otherwise here are 5 funny wedding anagrams to use:
A White Wedding Waited whinged.
Husband and Wife Fun was had in bed.
Love and Marriage Drama again, love.
Marriage A grim era.
Honeymoon Money? oh no.
Anagrams provide something that little bit different in Best Man speeches and should ensure laughter on a grand scale as your Best Man speech builds to the Wedding Toast.

It is Part Three of our countdown today from No. 9 to No. 5, in previous posts you will have seen Top 20 Best Man Jokes (Part one) and Top 20 Best Man Jokes (Part two). Wedding jokes and Best Man jokes in particular should be kept short but plentiful and these 5 gems certainly fit the bill.
9 Why do men chase women that they have no chance of marrying? It’s like watching dogs chase cars they have no chance of driving.
8 Before Sarah came into John’s life his idea of a romantic night out was a candlelit football stadium.
7 A woman said to her husband “Do you know I was a fool when I married you?” to which she replied “Yes, honey, but I was in love and didn’t notice”.
6 A little boy, at a wedding, looks at his mom and says, “Mommy, why does the Bride wear white?” His mom replies, “The Bride is in white because she’s happy and this is the happiest day of her life.”
The boy thinks about this, and then says, “Well then, why is the Groom wearing black?”
5 A man marches into his local police station demanding to speak to the burglar who broke into his house the night before. “You will have your chance in court” was the Sergeants reply. “No, all I want to know is how he snuck into my house without waking my wife, I’ve been trying for years.”
Next Friday we will finally complete our tour through wedding humor and unveil “The Four Funniest Best Man Jokes” whilst on Monday we will discuss “Wedding Speeches - Why Anagrams Work”, until then folks have a great weekend.

Wedding speeches, including the Best Man’s Speech and the Best Man’s Toast should run between 3 to 5 minutes in length, depending on the amount of people speaking on the Big Day. If you have the traditional running order of 3 or 4 speakers then you should try to speak for up to 5 minutes. On the other hand if there are more people in the Wedding Party due to speak such as an Usher or Matron of Honor, advise them to keep their speeches relatively short, two to three minutes maximum.
On a previous post we discussed the importance, and gave great examples, of Best Man Speech Opening Lines, here are two more opening lines that break the ice if you are giving either a short Best Man speech or a long Best Man speech.
Icebreaker for a shorter Best Man Speech
Ladies & Gentlemen unfortunately I will only be giving a short speech today because of my throat..John has threatened to cut it, if I go on too long.
Icebreaker for a longer Best Man Speech
Good afternoon ladies and gentlemen, it has been lovely to see so many old friends here today, and for those of you who don’t know me, you might feel you do by the end of my speech.
It is the content that is key to a winning Best Man speech that will keep the guests smiling. Once you stick to the format of a Best Man speech this should ensure that you stand just behind the Groom himself as the most popular man at the party.
Tomorrow we continue our journey through the Top 20 Best Man Jokes as we chart Number 10 to Number 5.
