OK so we all know the best man looks after the rings on the big day but what else does he have to do.
Well, he will usually be the best friend or brother of the groom. The groom must be able to trust him explicitly.
As a best man you need to ask what is expected of you and what your duties are and don’t forget that the speech will need to be written and probably rewritten several times. Don’t forget to put a few jokes in there but please be tactful.
There are many books on the subject of the best man, it may be worth reading a few.
Start by thanking the groom for allowing you to become his best man and what a privilege it is.
You can then start by telling a few funny stories about the Groom, how you met, what you used to get up to. If you know the bride, you may be able to tell a few anecdotes about her too (be very tactful) Perhaps the three of you have had adventures together.
Remember make it light and full of fun. Read out a few of the cards, especially from people who have not been able to share this special day but be careful not to do too many as the guests may become bored.
At the end of your speech you then make a toast to the Bride and Groom and wish them well in their new life together.
