Wedding Speech Help Bestwoman

I would cut it down too:

(Insert some sort of intro)

That I get through this speech without stuttering one word
Because me? public speaking? now that's absurd.
So please excuse my obvious nerves

Now let's focus on the bride come groom
But let's just take a minute before I resume
To look at Anna, Laura's beautiful wife
I am sure you will all agree that Anna looks stunning
And that they both look great together

So as Anna knows, Laura is one amazing person in many different ways
Perfect to Anna, I'm sure in every single way
The love between you two is real,
Something nobody else can feel,
So continue to love each other till the very end
Words from the heart that I do sincerely send
Because you my friends, deserve the very best
The love you have is treasure that can be found in no chest


Now a bit about me and my dearest friend
I met Laura at Busy Bees
A friendship that blossomed as if from seeds
Working together means a lot of time is spent with each other
We bicker, we argue even fight like brothers
Other people don't understand but that's just the way we get along
And through it all our friendship remains strong
So forget what people say as we get along in our own special way
A way that bought me here being bestwoman today

We've shared many memories and one time in public her trousers came all the way down
And she just stood there casually looking like a clown
That's what i like about you Laura - the fact you don't care
Your in it for the fun and the moments that we share
So we are celebrating the love between you and your wife
But also our amazing friendship which will stay strong through life


There are many memories that I could go through
But time is limited
So forgetting the memories for now that we share
And remembering the one thing that will always be true
Is that I will always be here for you

Thank you to you all, for listening to me ramble on
So let's clear this up and get the party started
But first a toast to the bride and bride
One which is fully whole hearted
So raise those glasses, pour that wine
To Laura and Anna

Now that is spot on!

I'd take out the bit about her trousers coming down and bits about her temper. You and she might joke about those things but bear in mind that not all of the guests will have that same relationship with her - presumably her parents, and her fiancees parents, and maybe other older relatives, will all be there.

If you want to say anything about that incident I'd suggest that you make it less specific - perhaps reference her being in an embarrassing position when you were both !!!!ed but don't give details, and try to have a bit more about the positives of how her relationship with Anna - think about how they met, when Laura told you that Anna was 'the one' - those sorts of things

I personally would suggest that you think again about the poetry I'm sure that you've put a lot of effort into it but I think it will be really difficult to pull off, and - maybe do the first and last paragraphs as poems and the body of the speech as prose.
