Best Man in a wedding

[diefree666]

Get Drunk.
Make a pass at one of the bridesmaids bad enough to get your face slapped
Burp through the speech

Just an FYI, I accepted when he asked.

No TomFoolery is gonna happen, I am married.

I'll post more, over the weekend. I am really interested in people's takes on a best man speech. Also, My guy is not big on Strip Clubs, so I might need some ideas.

Find out something he likes to do that he may be less able or unable to do when he gets married and do that....whatever it is.... as long as its legal.

Have you sold the screenplay or even just the concept yet? Sounds like a cross between "The Hangover" and "Wedding Crashers". Call it "The Worst Best Man".

If you were my best man, I don't know if I'd shake your hand or shoot you.

Good idea. I'll start writing now.

I do know a guy that wrote a story that was made into a movie. I think he did the actual screenplay but I"m not certain. I watched the movie but can't remember the name of it since it's been a few years.

I get the impression that he didn't get paid all that much.

We had one guy believing that we were going to shave his beard the night before the Wedding. Nobody had ever seen him without it.

I was the life of the party type back then but I went to a wedding recently and didn't even drink or get in any trouble.

Did I mention the 4 day Bachelor Party in New Orleans...The Hangover (movie) was tame in comparison. We had Bloody Marys delivered to our rooms every morning and the days progressed from there. That was 20 years ago and I still remember this girl with a white skirt and black thong underwear.

We tried the strippers coming to the house option a few times. You need a stripper per guy to make that really fun. We once had 2 strippers for the whole group which was just OK. The next time we had 12 strippers for 10 guys. That was outrageous but expensive.

Going out to a regular club can work. Many hot girls will give the group a lot of attention if it's an obvious Bachelor party.

We did private strippers for a different friend. Gets really expensive. The flat rate plus tips, which means when you run out of $$$ they leave.

We once padlocked a bowling ball to the groom's leg the night before the wedding and everyone was too hung over to bring him the key. We had it engraved with his wife-to-be's name. They drilled a hole all the way through the ball so that we could attach the chain. It was funny at the Bachelor party but even funnier that she found him with it the day of the wedding. For reference, they will cut the chain at the local fire department, apparently.

The last Wedding I went to, my friend' very famous cousin was one of the groomsmen. It was a weird experience. I was attacked by teenage girls and their Mom's at the Hotel that were celeb stalking and wanted me to get them into the reception.

One of my past girlfriend's brother's friends sent him to Alaska during the bachelor party on a one-way ticket. They apparently didn't like his new wife-to-be. He somehow got back a few minutes before the wedding started.

We swapped some spark plug wires around on my brother's car that he was using to depart his wedding. Car sound like heck and run really poorly when you do that...but it was kind of funny.

When my sister got married, her new husband and previously long time boyfriend tried hiding his car to keep anybody from screwing with it. My brother figured out were he hid it and were rushed over there with the shaving cream and all that stuff. He figure out that we were going there but he was literally about 30 seconds too late pulling out and I did a power slide maneuver to block him in while the crew did a number on his car.

I think the real key to being the best man is to influence where they have the wedding and to ensure they have an open bar...A hotel near 6th street in Austin was one of my favorites. Fancy hotels in Vegas and Branson MO were not bad either. One was even in the Caribbean. I've lost count on wedding attended. I was a best man when I was sixteen and it peaked when I was around 30 and my friends were getting married at a rapid pace.

I've avoided marriage all these years...it might be because I fear payback...

In response to the speech, I would say this. Don't rely on what somebody else might think about saying. We don't know the groom or the bride. That's really gotta be something you do on your own IMO. Otherwise, it can easily sound canned and that's not a good thing for a wedding toast.

Best piece of advice I can give is that you keep in mind that this is for the Bride and the Groom. It is not for the Best Men or the Brides Maids or anybody else. Do things that make it easier for them. Do things that make it special for them. Do things that will make them happy and that will help them down the path. Don't do things that will only create problems later. Don't plan things that would be cool for other people, more so then the couple intended. Don't be a hindrance, be The BEST Man you can be in this process. Don't base your plans off of an episode of Two and a Half Men. Marriage is hard enough, try to make this part of it a great start that will help them have a successful life together.

Good Luck!

I was asked yesterday by my friend to be his Best Man in his wedding.

Any advice?

Despite what Hollywood would have you believe, you job is not to plan his last night of debauchery prior to taking the marriage plunge, but to actually keep him out of trouble, keep up with the ring, and make sure he actually makes it to the wedding come hell or high water...because at the end of the day, if he doesn't make it, it will be all of your fault. Good luck!

Prepare a nice speech for your toast and a badass bachelor party. Salud!
Your toast will be filmed and archived, it could set the tone for the success of the marriage, no pressure.
Don't film the bachelor party!!!

Try not to show up to the wedding intoxicated.
