Simple best man speeches can be just as effective and heartwarming (since that is what the newly married couple will be expecting) as a complex, multifaceted speech worthy of a Presidential press conference. In fact, they can be better. It can be real quick to write and prepare for a simple best man speech following some basic rules or a few easy steps. Generally best man speeches are designed to congratulate the couple on their newfound happiness and wish them a wonderful life of happiness, joy and laughter. The best man speech is also an opportunity for the best man to personally express his feelings to the bride and groom in a casual and fun way.

Don't worry. It's not as bad as it seems. Simple best man speeches are not that hard to write. And can actually be fun; this is a chance for you, the best man, to tell a funny story or two about your best friend, but remember, keep it light; avoid inappropriate or embarrassing stories; this is a day of celebration and fun, not a night at the bar telling tall-tales about your best mate.
