Using quotes in your Best Man Speech is essential as it allows you a chance to relax and read straight from your script but more importantly it will have the guests at the wedding in uproar if you choose your quotes wisely.
The great thing about quotes is you can add them in wherever suits you in your Best Man speech. For example, if you feel there is a lull in your speech following your opening lines, toasts and before your main body of your Best Man speech, throw a few quotes in there. Likewise if you need an attention-grabber before your all-important closing lines throw a few quotes in.
All it takes is something like ” Do you know what Groucho Marx said about weddings?” or “Zsa Zsa Gabor once said…” and you will have the full attention of the guests then you deliver the quote with purpose bordering on showmanship and bask in the applause thereafter.
