Top 10 Secret Best Man Speech Writing Tips by Ben Maffin
Ben Maffin from maffin.co.uk reviews his top 10 tips for writing a Best Man’s Speech.
There’s a lot more detail you need to consider (which have been covered in other articles), but these top 10 tips for writing a Best Man’s Speech will stand you in good stead and make an easy list to print out when you’re sitting trying to write the speech.
Top Ten Best Man Speech Tips
1. Start writing your best man’s speech at least two months before the big day. Leaving it until the last minute will wreck your nerves.
2. Practice. Practice. Practice. No really. This is important it’ll help with your delivery on the day.
3. Always responds on behalf of the bridesmaids and mention how lovely they look. It’s what their mums and dads will be expecting. They might even buy you a drink later if you suitably creep.
4. Avoid alcohol before giving the speech. Dutch courage is a double edged sword.
5. Do not give anything away to the bride, groom or anyone else (unless you have a confidant you are practicing infront) before making the speech. It will spoil the surprise and they may steal your ideas.
6. Do not offend the Bride in any way. It’s her day and she’ll not forgive you if you make her cry.
7. Try linking in jokes stories with your speech but make them as seemless as possible. The more people believe the story is true, the bigger the laughs you will get when you deliever the punch line.
8. Remember that making a mistake is no big deal. Avoid going back to correct it, this is what people usually notice.
9. Avoid using cliché quotes from books. This is what the groom will have done (which is why their speeches are usually unremarkable). Instead use actual situations and make a story out of it. If in doubt, make one up no-one will challenge you while you’re up there.
10. Always end on a positive note and with a toast to the bride and groom.
Conclusion
While the above is not a definitive guide, ticking them off should get you a least a pass mark after the event. The more you think about what you are doing the better the speech will be. There’s nothing wrong with re-drafting your speech on the morning before because you’ve had a good idea.

What is the ben issue with michelle from celebrity big brother?
well im kinda confused because once when michelle gets a letter from her boyfriend he writes that don't worry about the ben issue and then coolio says you can have it. (u no what i mean) and then later on when they have a task on the music thing michelle's first draft of her rap has something to do with ben and her. so what is between them?
Nothing. Coolio has wound her up again and again and reduced her to tears several times by saying that her and Ben fancy each other when he knows full well she has a boyfriend. La Toya has also stirred it by saying to the others that Ben and Michelle are 'in love'. Michelle has been worried that her boyfriend might get the wrong idea about her and Ben hence his comment in her letter. Hope that clears it up for you!
