I’ve done it a couple of times and always found a photo or two of the bride/groom when they were kids, especially if they looked proper weird looking, always went down well…….another time I blew up a picture of a mates tattoo which is truly the worst tattoo in the world and got everyone taking the piss out of him………if that doesn’t get a laugh then start coming on to the the chief bridesmaid……double points if she’s a minger
I've only done it once and I don't think I was very good, so I'm not the best person to give advice - other than don't do what I did. The bride wasn't the best looker, so I thought I'd dispense with the 'Isn't she beautiful' bullshit, which everyone would have known was a crock. This meant I couldn't then say how gorgeous the bridesmaids were of course, even though one of them was as fit as ****. That would have just been awkward. Stick to the rules. (Plainly I don't know what they are).
Stand up, speak up - for a short time - then shut up and sit down. Keep it witty and practice it out loud in front of a mirror!
Speech was well received on Friday. Thanks all for your contributions, particularly @daverangers. @kiwiqpr, I used every bit of the buffalo.
