I have been a best man 8 times and only 1 was a blood relative. Rate me.

Solely on that fact.

Yes. And I take them very seriously and spend some time on them. In fact, I think 2 of the guys picked me because it was probably a 50/50 call between me and another good friend but they knew I'd come through with a good speech.

I write the speech in advance. I discuss how the groom and I became friends. Tell a couple of funny stories from our past. Then I make up a story about what he told me the first time he met the bride and that I knew right then and there this was a different girl and he was really in love. Then I talk about how when I first met her I instantly knew she was right for him and how wonderful they are together and how truly in love they are. And that someday I hope everyone there can find this kind of love, me included. And then I give them a toast. The entire thing is memorized and I keep it between 8-10 minutes.

People usually cry and the 3 times I went single, I ended up banging bridesmaids.

My format is similar. Say how you know the groom and even the bride. Tell a few funny stories. Conclude with some sappy "I'm so glad you found each other, it's been amazing to see your love grow over the years, I wish you the best, etc" stuff and then a toast

My last one I did 100% off the cuff with no pre planning, and people complimented me the entire night on it (although I wasn't totally happy with my performance) - got lots of " you are obviously a litigator lol" stuff

I've been best man twice, but a groomsman in well over a dozen. I've done a speech at all of them, plus a few others. I've made the crowd cry with laughter before.

Southern weddings all have like 20+ person bridal parties. He's probably a B-team groomsman in a few.

LOL I always see wedding like that and wonder how people can have that many bffs. like, does anyone have the emotional space to have such a close bond with like fifteen people? I guess if you have siblings and cousins you have to have in your wedding you could easily get over ten though.

Depends on how you define close bond. Some of these people are basically people that I got drunk with for years, rarely seeing them in the daytime

oh

I wouldn't invite someone like that to be in a wedding -only my best friends in the would - my bff from childhood, my two high school bffs, my college BFF and two girls from NYC I'm really close with.

maybe men are different though

I will likely never be a best man. The only guy who might make me his best man is my friend who is a 49 year old virgin and I have given up hope on him ever getting married
