November 8, 201213 yr I was at a wedding where the bride's sisters sang a song that went over really well. Think it's a matter of whether they can carry a tune or not. :lol: Any time I see a person pick up a microphone I start to get the sweats myself. I've just seen it go downhill fast way too many times.

November 8, 201213 yr On a more serious note, my recommendation is to balance seriousness & humor--but only if that humor is something the majority of the audience understands.
November 8, 201213 yr Six times. :lol: He even has his thumb up just like Pullman talking into the megaphone. :lol: That's hilarious, I didn't notice that. :lol:
November 8, 201213 yr "A wise man once said that the best man speech should be about the same length of time as it takes for the groom to make love. Thank you." Then sit back down.
November 8, 201213 yr You've got me bested in the the total weddings category. We're tied for best mansmenship. For what it's worth, I only thought I really got the toast done well once....for my brother's wedding. And spot on about the best man's toast versus the maid of honor.I don't think I've ever nailed it. But I've done ok each time. I keep them short and sweet so I'm not the "awkward stories". Honestly, I think I've only witnessed two times it was absolutely nailed. Once was someone we all knew would be hilarious and perfect. The other was COMPLETELY out of left field. My friends little brother is insanely shy and soft-spoken. Started with his eyes glued to the page reading "good traits of the groom", after two or three it became apparent that the best man wanted it to look like the groom wrote the best man's speech due to the best man's shyness and was very braggadacious of his self. Then the best man had a "hey wait a minute" moment. It brought down the house as he played it off perfectly.

November 9, 201213 yr The best laugh I ever had at one was where the speech ended with the 'best advice I can give you now John is - Get on her and Stay on her!' Got quite a few laughs
