A Best Man speech can keep the most confident best man awake with worry, but I can reassure you folks that by the time you finish reading this post you will find that you are not that stressed after all. I am neither a magician nor a hypnotist merely a realist, here to help you put things in perspective. Here are 5 examples of situations far more stressful than giving a Best Man speech:

  1. Your car breaking down during rush-hour causing miles of tail-backs leaving you to face lots of angry drivers.
  2. You are on the way to the airport before realizing you forgot your ticket, and the tickets of everyone in your party.
  3. Out on a first date before realizing you left your wallet at home.
  4. Arriving an hour late on the first day in a new job.
  5. Getting a call from your wife/girlfriend saying “Today is my birthday, how could you forget?”

They, my friends, are stressful situations, having the honor of telling a few jokes, a couple of one-liners and toasting the Bride and Groom in front of a room of friends and family, all willing you on, is not stress it is pleasure. Being Best Man is a privilege that doesn’t come around too often so when it does, remember to relax and enjoy it.
