How to write a wedding speech..
How does one structure a wedding speech?
What are the mechanics of it? I'm sure there is some web FAQ somewhere.. My roomates are engaged, I'm friends with both of them on a personal level. Courtney is about the closest friend I have. So, I'm going to have to roast them a little. That's a given.

I'd imagine it includes renting at least two volumes of Dean Martin's Celebrity Roasts for material.

Get really drunk the night before the wedding and then write it. That's a given.

In all seriousness, just write from the heart. I was the best man in my cousin's wedding a few years ago and I got many compliments on my speech. There are websites to give you a general idea. Google is your friend. Just keep it relatively short, to the point, throw a joke or two in there, and sum up on a serious note and you'll have a winner.

I'm not sure of the format, but I'm pretty sure you have to start off by saying "Y HELO THAR" and introducing yourself and your relation to teh couple. Then just let the dirt fly: embarassing moments, the time you caught them whackin it, drunken stories, what they said about each other in confidence, whatever. Don't worry about censoring your material. It doesn't matter how bad or how low you go, as long as you end by saying "BUT SERIOUSLY, blah and blah are some of the best people I know and my blah would not blah without blah blah...."
And hope you never get married. |

Oh yeah... ALWAYS close a speech with:
"...and in conclusion I'd like to point out that if Shakespeare were alive today, he'd be well over 400 years old." -A |

don't focus too much on either one of them.. talk about them individually and as a couple.. use the words "cohesive unit" for dramatic emphasis. maybe relate a funny experience you shared with them both which showed you how they are really really supposed to be together. close with another use of "cohesive unit."

never start it with "you know i was writing this speech.." and never end it with "and in closing.." |

my best man's speech was awesome. everyone said it was a roast, not a toast.
he started the way you just did, "I had no idea how to write a speech, but a friend of mine told me that the speech should last as long as the groom does in the bedroom." But I figured I should talk a little longer than a few seconds." It went downhill from there. I can watch the video and get it for you if you want....he had some GREAT one-liners. |
