yes yes, google is my friend, but anyone got one or two they recommend?
dont!
take your time and write your own, or only use the crappy sites to get the basics down, as in thank the bridesmaids etc.
i did this then wrote my own speech (groom), half the site have sh*T jokes that EVERYONE has heard before..... be orginal!
easier said than done i know, but it will go down better on the day.
even moreso if you are the bestman
+1 for monkey
I was best man last month and started on the internet, ended up just using the structure and adapted one or two of the gags to personalise it a bit.
Spend a good couple of weeks writing and rewriting it, by the time it's done you'll have most of it committed to memory so get some cue cards (keep a full copy to hand though just in case!) as it looks rubbish if you stand there and read it word for word.
When I gave the speech I was so glad I dropped all the canned stuff as it would have felt so cheesy and I'd have felt/looked a right nob. Obviously it went down brilliantly and I spent the rest of the evening receiving congratulationary BJs from the bridesmaids 🙂
a table at the reception is the common location but personally I'd go for something more original, being shot out of a cannon across the grand canyon or perhaps from inside a cow upon top of a giant knitting needle in a carpark full of sago?
+1000 For Monkey (Magic)
Write one yourself even if its naff as it comes from you unless you don't know the groom?
I am the groom 🙂
And I;ve got till Sunday lunch time to get it sorted. Just want to read a few examples to get me started. That gethitched site is pretty good
