So you were chosen to deliver the best man toast and you have no idea what to say. One thing for sure, the groom chose you to be the best man, so that should be enough reason for you to feel honored and look forward to the occasion. What you need to do is to stop telling yourself that you will most likely make a fool of yourself while delivering the speech, and instead, start working on your speech.

There are, after all some websites that can give you examples of great wedding speeches. You do not need to copy your speech right out of a book or a website, as you want it to be an original one, but doing an online search will give you some ideas, especially if you are looking for funny wedding toasts.

Remember, you are being asked for a short speech, and the couple does not really expect you to deliver a one man comedy act. Humor can relate some of the tension, but find out what kind of audience will be in the wedding reception, so that you can come up with some funny anecdotes or jokes that are appropriate to their age or taste.

If you know the groom well enough, you can find some good material to base your speech on. If the groom is your brother, your cousin or a childhood friend, then you can bring up some funny incidents while you were growing up. You can play him up as a young bully who was suddenly tamed by the bride's love. You can "roast" the groom, but not up to the point of embarrassment, just enough that he ends up being adorable in the end.

Find some twists in some of the couple's experiences when they were dating, and end the anecdote with a compliment to the bride, saying something like how the groom is so fortunate to find someone like her. That will really make the moment memorable for both the bride and the groom.

Wedding guests would love to hear interesting stories about how the couple met and how their love has sustained their relationship. You do not really need to relate a very long story, as ideally, you should only deliver a best man toast speech for less about 5-8 minutes. Choose one incident that you know will be a good memory for the couple, and one that the audience would enjoy hearing about.

Funny wedding toasts will make the occasion memorable, especially if you deliver the speech in a candid way. Try practicing your speech at least a day or two before the wedding. Let someone listen to it, just to make sure that you deliver the jokes or the funny parts of your speech in a natural way. If it comes out sounding stiff or too memorable, the audience may not appreciate the humor, and your speech may turn out to be a disaster. So, take the time to practice and ask the opinion of someone you trust enough who can give you an honest opinion about it.

The best part of the wedding toast is when you raise your glass to the couple and give them your best wishes. Let them know how special the moment is for you as well, and wish them all the happiness for many years to come.
