Best 'Bestman' Speech you've heard?

TerryPalmer

I attended a wedding a short while ago and the best mans speech was the craziest and most entertaining I've heard. Thought I would see how it compares?
The best man explained about his and the grooms past then explained during the early years of eBay how the thought of themselves as 'wheeler dealers' – buying and selling things.
He then explained a story about the groom who thought he had go a bargain when buying a size 8 pair of trainers for £1.25. The groom waited looking forward to getting his new trainers only for them to come and be a children size 8. The best man told how he ended up buying the trainers off the groom promising to keep them for his wedding day, 8 years later the best man brought out the trainers on the wedding day!
He then explained that they decided to try and sell anything on eBay, including a pictured (clothed) of each of them.
They also then started to sign 'merchandise' DVD's etc as if signed by the actor – wrong but as young children they didn’t care. One DVD did not sell (Red Planet) – the best man had also kept this and brought out the DVD to show the guests. He decided to continue on the auction style theme, by asking the grooms new wife to sign the DVD with her first married name signature. The best man then went on to auction off the DVD (even brought a gabble) amongst the guest. It was a real entertaining speech, got the guests involved with the bidding something really different.
He also raised the Bride and Groom an extra £50 for their honeymoon through the auction.

So that’s mine, what’s yours?

I loved the speech our best man did it really showed how much he cared and valued my OH as a friend.

He spent a long time on his speech and it really showed it was straight from the heart without being over the top.

He talked about the first time they met, when they have lied together even his thoughts on me from when he first met me.

He made a joke about the proposal my OH did that made people laugh.

He had little props from key moments in their history.

I loved Greg and all of OH's uni friends from when I first met them because of how he they are with my OH but after they all made such an effort with our wedding day I truly can see why he values them so much

My then 18yr old stepson was best man to his dad when we married. He started by saying that "all my research suggests that the best man is expected to make fun of the groom's previous sexual encounters...which is a bit tricky as I'm the direct result of one of them" There was a lot of laughter after a shocked silence!

That Stepson one is excellent! My OH was one of two best men for his friend's wedding. The groom didn't really have any embarrasing history, so they made up a mock play of how the bride and groom met, using their "diaries that they stole from their rooms", with my OH wearing a girly wig and putting on a particularly gruff voice! The groom was a postie so the other best man had a postie bag and my OH was offered to "reach into my sack" to pull out things like plums and a Giant tube of hair removal cream. They finished with a song and a kiss! It was brilliant.

Oh and they started off with "here's the toast", holding up a bit of toast..
