From: BIGPUN9999 | #016 I have known for a long time. But the maid of honor was writing hers tonight and I read it and I had previously planned on winging it. Now I'm definitely gonna write an outline and plan a few things. Hers was bad though and I'm going second so I think I'll be fine. I really wanted to tell her to change her overall theme but she'd have to redo everything and I don't know her that well so I just...left it. -- Congratulations to Rafael Nadal on a Career Golden Slam. - The Mana Sword ...

I would be willing to email it to people I like/trust (like you) but for some reason I am not comfortable posting the whole thing here.
I will post it for sure after the wedding if anybody actually gives a s***. -- Congratulations to Rafael Nadal on a Career Golden Slam. - The Mana Sword ... Copied to Clipboard!

I thought the first paragraph was a strong intro and it was pretty funny. you'll probably get a few laughs.
the second paragraph was a little bit boring and I think you could change it / cut some of it out. the third paragraph was touching, the entire thing was heartfelt and you might actually tear up while telling it - i know i felt a strong emotional connection and i don't even know these people. and uh... the sixth sentence was my favorite part of the speech. it'll definitely hit home with them, maybe the audience, and you follow it up very well and close strong. overall, a really good speech. -- Virtue - "You don't need a reason to lynch people." ...

Princess Anri 07/15/11 2:45:00 AM #30: |
Hmm...yeah the second paragraph is a definitely more boring than the other two.
I just did a quick rewrite and (lol) it came out to be exactly one word shorter but I think it flows better/is less boring now. -- Congratulations to Rafael Nadal on a Career Golden Slam. - The Mana Sword ... Copied to Clipboard!

MajinZidane 07/15/11 2:56:00 AM #31: |
oh, cool.
either way, the other parts of your speech make it good and your second paragraph isn't going to be funny or touching to the audience, but you and your two best friends will certainly appreciate the trip down memory lane and I feel like this sort of thing is necessary in a best man speech. I think your speech is going to go over great, so have a good time tomorrow! with a decent delivery, you can have the audience laughing and tearing up in one speech (and I know you have the charisma to sell the jokes and touch the hearts, so no worries there). good luck -- Virtue - "You don't need a reason to lynch people." ...

Princess Anri 07/15/11 2:59:00 AM #32: |
Thank you.
I feel the exact same way about the second paragraph. It borders on boring but they'll appreciate it and it helps give weight to the third paragraph. I know the bride is going to like the speech, probably more than anyone else. -- Congratulations to Rafael Nadal on a Career Golden Slam. - The Mana Sword ... Copied to Clipboard!

From: SBell0105 | #033 Obviously hilarious but completely distasteful and not happening. If it was a smaller crowd that's going to hear the speech, I could literally make this joke work because they know how close we are and that it's not even remotely close to how I really feel. But too many people I don't feel quite that comfortable with. From: snailien | #034 :( -- Congratulations to Rafael Nadal on a Career Golden Slam. - The Mana Sword ... Copied to Clipboard!
