Best Man Toast

The easiest way to understand what you need to write for your best man speech is to break down a few examples of a Best Man Toast.

There are four major parts of the best man toast. The introduction, stories about the groom, jokes about the groom, and funny quotes or toasts to finish the speech.

I am going to give you a best man toast example for each section.

Example Of Introduction:

“Good evening ladies and gentleman, I am (your name). I have been given the privilege of being the best man for my dear brother (groom name)’s wedding tonight.

Part of my duty as best man is to say a few kind words about my brother. As I was preparing this speech I realized that I have never said anything nice about him. It is not that he is a bad guy; it is just the nature of our brotherly love. Since I’m not looking to get beaten up in the parking lot I will only mention the good things. Yes, I am that scared of our mother!”

Best Man Toast Example Story

“I remember when we backpacked through Europe one summer. We rented mopeds and John thought that it would be a good idea to try and ride the moped on the beach. Of course anyone with any sense knows that you can’t ride a moped on sand. He revved the engine and front of about 20 beautiful bikini clad girls he tried to maneuver the moped on the beach. He was wobbly like a drunken sailor and eventually fell flat on his face, the moped crushing his leg. He then couldn’t lift the moped out of the sand and needed the assistance of five strange men from Greece who were laughing at him hysterically. In fact the entire beach was pointing and laughing at him.”

Best Man Toast Example Joke

“From now on, Tom won’t have any more chances to get himself into trouble as Sherry is reported to be a strict disciplinarian. She will ensure that he wakes up at 5 a.m to do 100 push-ups and sit-ups each day if he even forgets to take out the garbage. I think that if he messes up the first dance, he’ll be washing dishes by the end of the night.”

Best Man Toast

“There is an old couple that used to live near my parents. They were ninety years old and still madly in love after 65 years of marriage. I asked the woman for the secret to their marital success. She said, “I learned to agree to disagree with my husband.” I asked her husband what the secret was and he said “whatever she said – I agree.” Sounds simple but it’s not. To my dear friend Robert and his new wife Nancy if you can master that simple lesson you too will be madly in love in 65 years.”
