PAB Events often get asked for advice in providing tips for the Groom & Best man's speeches, usually because it's the point that palms get sweaty and tongues get tied!
However, I would never be too prescriptive with this advice because the most important thing is to put individual personalities into a speech. Everyone will know if you are not being you and even worse, if you are not being sincere! So here's a few sound bites to get you started:
Groom Speech Tips
• Acknowledge your WIFE. This will be the first time she be referred to
as this so it’s a great moment for everyone attending!
• Express how much you love your wife and any special attributes about her
• Honour both sets of parents on the head table
• Reassuring Brides parents that their daughter is in ‘safe hands’
• Thank yous to both sets of parents for their support thoughout the whole
planning process
• Toast your bride!
Sound bites:
My wife and I would like to thank you for celebrating this special day with us
[Bides Mum & Dad], thank you for welcoming me into the family
For the Toast: Ladies & Gentlemen I give you my beautiful bride!
Best man Speech Tips

Mention what is so special about the happy couple/what makes them unique
Compliment the bride & bridesmaids
Compliment the bride & grooms family
Amusing childhood stories/things that have happened in the past
Toast the bride & groom
