I've been asked to be a 'Best Man'. Ever done it? Tips & tricks for doing so?

(I helped save b3ta! Fucking hell Jeff I am not a robot, Tue 8 Jul 2014, 20:12, 111 replies, latest was 10 years ago)
Four times.
That means that four of my mates have trusted me to stand and spout bollocks, but I'd say that for three of them it was they needed a solid wing man.

Worst was the first
Donington, Lincs in 1991.

I said something like "Lincolnshire is full of vegetables" and locked eyes with a relative of the bride who had brought her brain dead son to the wedding.

Any more.

Well, maybe 'not any more' is a bit excessive, but try to give it a miss at least for that day.

Don't.

Actually, don't answer that.
(I helped save b3ta! Fucking hell Jeff I am not a robot, Tue 8 Jul 2014, 20:42, Reply)
Nah, I'm kidding, I re long if they've asked you its because they Trust you not to be a cunt.
So be yourself, or whatever front you use to make people like you, because the real you is bound to be a cunt.

It's because they hate him most.

I've done it 3 times, with a 4th coming up later this year.
Don't accept a drink from anyone before the speech, accept them all afterwards.

I recall you telling me about being a BM to someone you hardly knew, tough gig.

(I helped save b3ta! Fucking hell Jeff I am not a robot, Tue 8 Jul 2014, 20:56, Reply)
Yeap. Made tougher by having to do the speech in a pub.
A pub that hadn't been booked for exclusive use, so it was full of weekend punters going about their Saturday afternoon.

Good point
Do it coherent, also bugger off for a bit afterwards because the speech is usually the last act.
(I helped save b3ta! The Disappointed Caravanner of the year, Tue 8 Jul 2014, 20:59, Reply)
On the plus side, you get a sympathetic audience.

(I helped save b3ta! JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Tue 8 Jul 2014, 21:00, Reply)
You get an audience waiting for the funny bits.
I've been looking for my last one because I think it's on youtube. The applause was primarily because the guests had been bored to death by the brides father explaining how wonderful he was.

Mine was at the rugby. Sport is a good call when not everyone knows each other - gives them something to talk about early on before all attendants are pissed.

Work out what you think people might be comfortable paying and give them enough notice to find the cash.
Don't shell out anything up front yourself until you know people are good for it.
