Turning Research into Laughter for your Best Man Speech

A popular insertion into many Best Man speeches is making jokes about your research into the duties and tasks of being a Best Man. Typically the Best Man will begin with “When undertaking research into my duties as Best Man I…”

Here are 5 examples that should be warmly received by your guests.

When undertaking research into my duties as Best Man I…

1. Understood the importance of the aisle, the alter and the hymns, though I thought I heard the Bride say “I’ll alter him” in the church earlier.

2. Found that it was my duty to get the Groom to the church on time, sober and looking great, well 2 out of 3 ain’t bad.

3. Found that I was to help him dress, no thanks folks, if he doesn’t know how to dress by now that is his own fault.

4. Understood that I was to make jokes at the Groom’s expense, which feels good as it is a rarity if anything is at his expense, as anyone who has gone for a drink with him can confirm.

5. Found that I should sing the Groom’s praises, luckily I can’t sing so I scratched that off my list.

Using a few lines like these or similar will help pad out your Best Man speech whilst keeping the guests smiling. They would be a worthy inclusion for anyone who has the privilege of being Best Man and delivering that telling speech.
