Surely the groom should make some sort of short speech
Just to thank everyone for coming and of course thank his stunning bride for agreeing to the whole shebang?

I do hate all those LOLWAKI best man speeches...Fucking horrendous.

Yeah, I might let him say a few words proclaiming my fabulousness.

I do think everyone should be reminded.

Obviously you can write the speech

(Cancer Joy was short lived, Tue 2 Nov 2010, 10:43, Reply)

So, VERY few words then?

Yes, because he'll be so overcome with emotion he'll break down and cry like a girl.

And if he doesn't, you'll pinch him?

I've never met the husband to be.
But I've read enough on here to say.

'lol at 'short' speech'

We'll give him a box to stand on.

The Groom doesn't really traditionally make a speech
He just thanks everyone for coming, the bride for turning up and the parents for having the daughter.

I just gave a few gifts out and said thanks.

My best man was a cunt. He had made a booklet of all my hair and clothing disasters of the last 25 years and stuck one under each chair.

Our speeches go like this:
"Thanks for coming everyone, really good of you, lovely to see you, nice day, eh? We're very happy, it's all great. Thanks again, especially to CHCB's parents who paid for the band and Catface's parents who did the cake. Woo. Yay"

Actually, scrap that, I want Gonz to write my speech.

I'm not looking forward to the speech
particularly since last time I saw my dad he was insisting that it was the solemn duty of the speechmakers to be thoroughly entertaining and hilarious.

Says the cunt who spent his entire working life stood up in front of people talking.
