Back...and Best man speeches

This is where you can discuss your homework, family, just about anything, make strange sounds and otherwise discuss things which are really not related to the Lancer-series. Yes that means you can discuss other games.

Back...and Best man speeches

Hi everyone 'tis I, your favourite forum lurker. I've been lurking around quite a bit lately without posting at all, but now I think I'm going to start again I was getting slightly dissapointed at the declining number of thwacks, and as you know I'm a glutton for them, I should set things straight. I'm sure Esquilax has missed giving em to me....whats that? You all didn't miss me? Things were better with out me? "I was gone?"? Well, nm....I'm back anyway K thx pwnt.

Anyway, on to the sub topic I'm disguising this spam with;
I have been asked to be best man at my brothers wedding in one months time, and a side from a few nice little points, I have nothing to say. That would be ok, except, knowing my side, and especially the brides side of the familie's proud legacy of giving long, boring, pointless speeches with bible quotes etc...well you get the point. And I suck at public speaking. All the best man speech examples I have seen seem to revolve around condom and other lame jokes...bleh.

So have any of you got any experiances at weddings to relate, tips/funny things to say for the speech or if your like me, any subtle spam to add?

There are always the Toastmaster classes of public speaking othere than that, no experiance at best man situations.

Do you mean:

Well, if you're absolutely, positively unable to put thoughts together for your own brother at his (first, right?) wedding, you can cheat here

BUT, it isn't about being clever or some kind of superstar orator. As Best Man and Brother, the best stuff for you to deliver is in your own words, those that come naturally to you (in polite company, of course) about what your brother means to you and your family, what his marriage means, and what you wish for them.

The very end usually is very formulaic but a very tried and true is a request for all to charge their glasses and be upstanding and to follow you in your toast to the bride and groom. Just the final words for that toast usually closes out what you have said fairly well and leaves everyone in a good frame of mind.... or is it the booze? I forget now

No, I wont cheat. I thought up a few nice things to say that come from the heart I guess they'll have to make do with that.

Revival of the thwacks - how about a revival of the *clicks*

I was wondering where you were, you South Australian Orange farmer! If you can't think of anything, try using one of those "famous quotes" resources, and steal some good lines.
