The gift that keeps on giving
Oh god, I listened to this album all summer when I broke up with my first girlfriend.
I made a shitty music video for the track Letters to God - it was a boy who did stupid shit like having loads of friends over, messing up the house, breaking a TV by mistake etc - the parents kept shouting at him, then at the end he's crying in the back of the car as they drive him somewhere, then when the mum opens the back door to let him out, he's a dog and they're taking him to the vet to put him down.
So teenage angsty but I thought it was the shit.
Oh shit, there's a speech?! I wasn't told about that. Will I come off as a complete knob if I just winged it on the day? Mention a funny story, talk about how lucky the groom is, say how pretty the bride is, throw in some "memes" in between to keep the kids awake , add a Jim Davidson joke and call it a day?
You guys seen this? Makes me sad to be Scottish

Glad i got somewhere with it...Does anybody else constantly refresh GAF waiting for people to post...or am i just sad
You didn't know best men give speeches? You're supposed to complete destroy the groom. I think he didn't tell you so you wouldn't.
The official role of the best man is to marry the girl if the groom fucks off. Make a joke about how disappointed you are that didn't happen - maybe mention she'll be disappointed too when he gets her up to the bedroom.
Right Mike, looks like I gotta sit down and think it through then
Oh and box car racer... who the fuck thought it was a good idea to bring that up?!
This vacations useless
These white pills are Kiiiind
I've givennnn a lot of thought on this thirteen hour driiiiive
That and Verve's Bittersweet Symphony followed by Puddle of Mudd's She Hates me.. on repeat for a week straight. Man, High school relationships sucked! The drama just wasn't worth it.
Forgot to mention, they played some Celtic FC song at the Murphys gig. Lirlond, give my thanks to your boys for not chibbing me as I did not know a single word to it.

The best man usually does the speech. The groomsmen just stand there and get pictures taken, maybe read a few cards at the table after the best man speech.

You have an incredible selection of GIF's. How many do you have?
Ah, I misread Steve's post and thought that he was groomsmanning it too. Which then made me surprised because I thought only the best man dishes out a speech.
Edit: Cheezmo deliveres.
Fields of Athenry?
Must've been. Probably was if that's their only one.

You mean an ordinary April (acceptable) or last April (unusual)? Give me an ordinary June/September every time.

I got the same problem coming up in May. Except worse - it's the father-of-the-bride speech rather than the best-man speech. Means I've probably got to be polite. Ish.

Agreed. It is far too cold. Even with gloves on my fingertips hurt they are so cold.
So, a lot of snow predicted for tomorrow. Think it'll deliver?

If you are, you're doing a terrible job. I didn't even cry during the breakup, as usual I think I'm saving it all up for some point in the near future where I'll have a breakdown in my car when something like First Day of my Life comes up on my playlist & I'll sing along terribly, weeping and that'll let out all the POWERFUL EMOTIONS.
The best father speeches I've heard have been anything but polite! It's your chance to thinly veil threats aimed at your son-in-law.
How many ways can "if you cheat on my daughter, I'll straight up murder your face with my fists" be turned into a hilarious joke?
Blimey, I hope not. I'd like to be able to get out and about this weekend & a whole heap o' snow isn't going to help with that.
I'm hating the cold so very much.
I can't tell embarrassing story's about the groom as he is too clean for that, so I am going for sincere, complimentary and charming.
Frankly I have seen very few truly funny best man speeches, they usually resort to in jokes that you wouldn't get unless you were on the stag do (and even ones that weren't funny even when I was on the stag do...).
Trying to embarrass the groom might be tradition, but 9/10 times it falls flat, the only great one I have seen was a guy who does part time stand-up at the Edinburgh fringe etc...

Tell me about it, foolishly didn't dry my hair completely this morning. my head and ears are so fucking cold after my ride in to work, given me a beast of a headache.

Totes gonna deliver. I hope it drops a few inches before I get up so I can wrangle a day off. Best thing about getting the bus to the middle of nowhere every day!
Looking forward to throwing the cat into the snow as well, I'm such a bastard.
I've seen a fair few funny ones - usually just a few lightly comedic stories about best man & groom's antics, maybe a story about how groom was pathetically excited/nervous/desperate when groom & bride met.
I think I've only seen 1 dud best man speech, but that was fucking awkward.
None of them were flat out duds, they all got polite chuckles but mostly you felt like you were not "in on the jokes" if you were not one of their close friends.
I just don't want to try too hard to make out me and Danny have been in some "crazy situations" because we haven't, we met training MMA, we have broken each others bones in training (his finger, my floating rib) but never escaped naked from a brothel in Prague.
Haha, this is amazing.
Definitely felt fresh this morning, we've gained 5 degrees already since I came in so it's more sane. Someone who works next to me is eating a bacon roll and the smell is cutting through me. Suddenly I'm stupidly hungry :/

Qasiel did a very impressive, very funny best man speech at his mate's wedding, you should ask him for tips.

Thanks for that Mike! Means I don't have to step too far away from my grumpy-dad persona. Getting ideas already.
Really, that was quite a liberating post. Ta.
I want you to be my best man.

Or you can just be very disappointed in him, that's the worst punishment!
