Best Man Wedding Toasts

The best man stands and begins by getting the attention of the guests. A short 3-5 minute speech followed by the toast is then given to the bride and groom.

The best man usually offers the first toast to the bridge and groom and their new life together. His toast is the only essential toast offered during the wedding reception, all others being optional. It is customary for the best man to reminisce a little about his friendship with the groom, relating interesting little stories, but the audience is also looking to him to add a touching, and possibly humorous story about how the Bride and Groom met and should be ended on a serious note.

This Wedding Toasts should be delivered with as much poignancy and heartfelt sincerity as possible. The best man is also expected to propose a “thank-you” toast to the bridesmaids on behalf of the bridge and from, unless the from proposes this toast himself, in which case it is the best man’s duty to reply to the groom’s toast on behalf of the bridesmaids.
