Free Best Man Wedding Speeches

Posted in Free Best Man Speeches on November 7th, 2009 by Dean Owens – 2 Comments

Finding free best man wedding speeches, is it really possible?

The best man weeding speech is the culmination of the best man’s duties to the bride and groom, and the pressure of delivering a successful best man speech can be both immense and extremely stressful.

And now you left preparations for your best man wedding speech right until the last minute, well you’re in excellent company.  Many veterans may laugh about it now but believe me at the time it’s ain’t pretty seeing a grown man weep. Hours of panic are usually followed by prolonged self pity and disbelief.

I was best man to my brother and when I was searching the net I found that most of the free best man wedding speeches were essentially rehashed versions done numerous times before, with cliches, toasts and jokes as stale as 3-year-ancient fruitcake. Just to add fuel to the fire (and your frustration) many of the websites which advertise “free best man wedding speeches” only do so to lure people into their site and finally to paid wedding speech sites.

It’s right that using certain paid best man speech websites can have massive time and stress saving advantages but it would certainly be more ethical for websites to mention off the bat what it is exactly that they are promoting.

Whether you are looking for paid or free best man speeches you will need a speech that best suits your personality, the occasion (is it more formal, very relaxed etc.) and the audience.

I suggest:

a) If you do copy from a free or paid site that you personalize your best man wedding toast as much as possible – that way you can connect better with the audience. Add personal anecdotes, tales and jokes relevant to the bridal party.

b) Don’t place anyone in a negative light (not too much anyway).

c) You don’t have to memorize the whole best man speech, just jot down the main conversation points as reminders, and that way you can take a lot of pressure off yourself having to memorize it.

d) Paper shakes and and is a dead give away if you’re nervous. Use cards instead.

Having a fantastic wedding speech prepared can take loads of pressure off and you will be able to relax and concentrate on other things that may need your attention. A successful best man speech can break the ice and change the mood.
