Sample Hooks For Short Best Man Speeches

Having already looked at icebreakers for short Best Man speeches today I provide you with the best methods to ensure you captivate the wedding guest’s attention when telling some stories during your short Best Man speech. As ever no mention of former wives or girlfriends is vital and offensive stories should play no part in your Best Man speech if you want to win over the wedding guests. The following hooks are great because the wedding guests will be intrigued and, as curiosity gets the better of them, they will be waiting with baited breath to hear what you have to say next. In the 4 examples below we use “John” as our Groom and “Jane” as the Bride.

This is something I’ve told nobody until now…

Here is an opportunity to add some fun to proceedings so follow up with something like “but I once saw John dressed like a woman, though it was Halloween and we were innocent 12 year olds trick or treating.”

Here is a little known fact about John…

This is a chance to comment about his love for the Bride so complete this line by saying “on the Bachelor Party he spent half his day sending text messages to Jane, the rest of the day he was on the phone talking with her.”

I promised John I’d never tell anyone this but…

An opener like this will have the Groom mortified and the guests in expectant mood eager to hear to the rest so don’t let them down, follow up with he once was in trouble with Jane because of the law, she wanted to watch Grey’s Anatomy but he wanted to watch Law And Order.”

Want to hear an embarrassing story about John?…

Continue this by stating “the hardest aspect is picking which story to tell but I will begin with the time we were in College and we had an assignment to give a 5 minute presentation about something we were most passionate about, while some classmates spoke about world peace or animal rights, John promptly gave a 5 minute speech about the topic he was most passionate about of all, himself.”

Other great hooks that you can use include;

What I am about to reveal about John will probably impact our friendship forever nonetheless…

John once told me…

There is one thing that John asked me not to mention in my speech but…

The lines discussed here should not tempt you to say anything that will jeopardize your friendship with groom, lighthearted funny Best Man stories work a lot better than roasts that will be unappreciated by many.

If you want the stress taken away from your Best Man worries then grab some great short Best Man speeches that will make you sound like you have been delivering speeches all your life.
