The joke I'm going to use for this free funny best man speech anecdote is below - it's from the Best Man Jokes eBook which is one of the free bonus eBooks we give you when you purchase the Best Man Formula eBook
A newlywed couple had just arrived in their honeymoon suite. After unpacking, the husband took off his pants. "Put these on," he said to his wife. She did and they were obviously much too large. "There's no way I can wear these - they're way too big," she said. "Good! Now you know who wears the pants in this family," replied the husband. Flustered, the wife removed her panties, and handing them to her husband said, "Put these on." The husband looked at the tiny panties and said, "There's no way I can get into your panties." To which the wife replied, "you're darn right! Not with that attitude!"
To make it sound as if it was the bride and groom in your best man speech then just reword it in a manner similar to this:
I've been told in great confidence that we were very lucky to make it to today. Apparently [Bride and Groom] had a major argument after their engagement celebrations. I'm told that after they returned home from their party, [Groom] took off his pants. "Put these on," he said to his bride to be. She did and they were obviously much too large. "There's no way I can wear these - they're way too big," she said. "Good! Now you know who's going to wear the pants when we're married," replied the groom to be. Flustered, [Bride] removed her panties, and handing them to her husband to be said, "Put these on." [Groom] looked at the tiny panties and said, "There's no way I can get into your panties." To which [Bride] replied, "you're darn right! Not with that attitude!"
Free Funny Best Man Speech Tips - About Groom
As you all know, [Groom's name] just loves to fish, and the other day he spent six hours fishing in the ocean without a bite. He had promised [Bride] he would bring his catch home for dinner. Now [Groom] didn't want to admit to her that he was coming back empty-handed. So he stopped by the Fresh Fish Market on the way home and purchased six beautiful snapper, but he asked the clerk to toss them to him over the counter one at a time. The clerk asked him - What's the idea of throwing them?" [Groom] replied - I'm no liar! want to be able to show my fiance the fish I caught."
So there you have some tips for writing a free funny best man speech.
Much of the speechwriting literature frowns upon rewording jokes and anecdotes and including them in your best man speech. However, I figure - why listen to them! If you really want to write a funny best man speech then you need to include material that you know will get a laugh.
Believe me, on the day the wedding guests will probably know that you're using poetic licence in recounting your best man speech but they will laugh all the same.
