Best Man duties

You do know that you will be legally required to impregnate the chief bridesmaid?

As the mother of my child will be in attendance as well as the chief bridesmaids husband............I'll say a big no to that one

[tino]

Good advice all, thanks

keep it comin'

Chuck in some choice quotes from CUK. That should have them chortling mirthfully in the aisles.

Wouldnt this be a good idea for the basis of your speach?

"As I have no experience I decided to put this out on an internet forum for advice. However I had not taken into account that the forum in question is populated by rejects from the IT crowd <expand the description of internet nerds>.
Here are some of the publishable replies."
You can make it up as you go along from there. Be as rude and nasty as you like and blame it on us and then put in a whitty reason why you wont be doing as suggested.

If the proceedings are following the "traditional" route the groom will do all the "thanks", finishing off with thanking the bridesmaids and saying something nice about them.

The best man would then start their speech by saying thank you to the groom for this on behalf of the bridesmaids.

At least that's what happened at the last wedding I went to. YMMV

Mine went pretty well...

I related the grooms life to a game of chess - he's a keen player.

A few risque bits about his catholic school life - selling pron (pawn) mags etc and getting caught and being told off by the (bishop)

Carp at DIY in their new home (castle)

Passed his bike test (Knight)of the road - but now too scared to ride it!

Every King has a Queen.. etc etc...

I did nick a few things off a speech site - but 80% mine.

Bridesmaids look lovely....

10mins - job done....

Thunderous applause...

Drinks all round....
