updated my quote, he did it in 1 night. long story short, i told me 4 best men to decide between them. Then the guy who was chosen wasn't a great talker and did one, but i basically told my cousin to he should do one the week before (stitched up) as he had the most stories out of all my best men. He thought we were joking then when we got together the night before i was like yup serious, you were meant to do one Was a good sport to do it haha
Was just about to say I'm loving these posts from him And yeah standing in, ****ing short notice The best man has been awol since before the stag do which he did nothing to help organise whixh is why it ended up being cobbled together the day before and a bit all over the place. He's still ignoring my pal so he's had enough and said **** it he's not doing it. I'm not on my own though at least as there's two of us he couldn't decide between.
Do you have any decent stories about him that you can tell? else it might be a very hard and boring generic speech.... also are you good at talking?
Top man, some are more suited to that stuff than others. Still short notice like @The Liebherr Legacy it can be done. Be confident.
Yeah confidence ain't an issue and the other guy is charismatic too so not an issue there. Used to do face to face sales so talking to/infront of people is no problem at all. Just don't have a ****ing clue what to say and how to start it off. Also, **** knows how it's gonna work with two of us, do we take certain jobs each so one of us ends up speaking or do it all together and both say something? Forgot to say, got plenty of stories but struggling to think of one appropriate.
Saw two best men do a speech once. One was a confident speaker, the other wasn’t so the confident one did a speech about what a great guy the groom was while the less confident one held up cards with the truth about the groom on them.
i've seen people do it together as a tag team which i thought went pretty well. Hard to coordinate i imagine. My boys just did 1 each. My brothers was a bit more generic and not sure how people found it (as normally people will give you polite laughter either way) but his personal stuff was okay/cheesy and his jokes were cut and paste from the internet whereas my cousins one was personal and more funny. Is this your first best man speech?
They ain't getting 15 minutes out of me, 5 max. I'd also have to change my sense of humour too as mine ain't wedding suitable either
I honestly think it's just easier to fall out with the person. Remember years ago...my cousin was getting married...Spurs were playing Ipswich on 'The Match' on ITV. Went to Coop got a chocolate cake...****ed the wedding off. I hate weddings and the palava surrounding them.
How about something a bit diffferent. You mention song, Bobby mentioned card. Combine the two, it could work. Still have a small speech, but let the cards and song do most of the work. I reckon it could work. But they are short on time.
Anyway cooking a Chicken curry with whatever I can find in the cupboard...with rice. Yum yum..get me sweating before a nice Biff
See that's a great idea but I don't know what way round we'd do it. Also, see below. Yeah coordination is going to be the issue as so little time to prepare it... I'm only to see my other mate for about an hour or two tops without the groom before the day too. Yeah first time.
How about you start doing the speaking and then "realise" the other guy is taking the piss with the cards, throw a strop, say that if he thinks it's that easy he can take over and then when he gets going you do the same thing with the cards.
