Don’t worry! You have come to the right place to compose that best man toast. You will find all the essential things that go into composing that best man toast here. Sit back, relax, pick up your favorite drink and read on.

GROUNDWORK
The thumb rule to remember while writing that toast is- originality. Yes, many people tend to exaggerate while trying to deliver a speech and often end up stuttering towards the end.

The groom has picked you to be his best man, so obviously you are either his best mate or his favorite brother. Start by getting to know the grooms feeling, what does he think is the best attribute in his bride? What made him decide that she was the one for him? All this extra information will help you in composing that toast.
Now that you have all the relevant information in order, let’s begin.

WHAT TO SAY

Any speech no matter where it’s being given should start with the introduction. You can’t expect everyone present at the wedding to know who you are, so start by introducing yourself. Next thank everyone who has made it to the wedding, also thank the people who have helped in the wedding preparations. You would also like to thank the groom for choosing you as the best man.

Pick an incident or memory that you have shared with the groom and recount it. It can be any incident, funny, emotional or just plain dumb. But remember you have an audience in front of you, be respectful of them. Don’t embarrass anyone with the incident you choose to recount.

Praise the bride; make her feel special, after all it’s her big day. Let her know she has made a wise choice in choosing the groom. Tell her how madly the groom is in love with her smile and how much he relies on her taste for picking up good stuff. Your groundwork will help you out here.

 Let the groom know how lucky you feel that he is your friend. Talk about the positive traits in both of them. This is their big day; you would want them to feel good right?

End the speech by wishing them both all the luck in the world and all the happiness as well. You can add a funny comment in here if you wish. For example- May god give Jill and Jack all the happiness in the world and god help Jill now.

Now raise that toast and hear everyone applaud you enthusiastically.
