Myself and by brother made a video, we're not great speakers so it provided a bit of entertainment, we had it playing on a projector but had to wait till the sun went down as it was setting directly behind the screen.

opening - recommend all guests recharge their glasses.
every single person you mention, toast them
every drinker will be rolling drunk before you finish and think you are amazing.

"Tom place your hand on top of Barbara's, congratulations that's the last time you'll ever have the upper hand"
"Tom, marriage is about learning the 3 phrases you'll need every day, 'I'm sorry' 'you're right' 'I was wrong' "
lol ๐Ÿ˜
I've done a few speeches. You'll brick yourself right up until you're up and doing it and get your first laugh. Once you sit back down you'll wonder why you were nervous and wish you could go back and do it again but slower. So that's my advice, take your time and don't forget to look up and see every single pair of eyes in the room looking at you! hahaha

Your job is to buffer them from any hassle or problems on the day. If you take the job seriously then its hard work !!!

I've been photographing weddings for over a decade and can count on one finger the number of times a best man has done anything useful (other than be entertaining).

As has been said, please don't just nick a bunch of lame jokes from the web - everyone's heard them before and they weren't funny back in '01. By all means take the mick a bit but keep it heartfelt where it counts.

don't forget to look up
Yeah. This too. Don't mumble into your beard. Apart from anything else, it makes for shite photos.
