1. Depending on your confidence level decide on the length of your best man speech. Best man speeches should not necessarily be lengthy. Rather you should try to keep it as short as possible. Top best man speeches are often short but sweet.
2. Decide how you want to start the best man's speech. You could go for a formal start like "Good evening Ladies and Gentleman. My name is Michael. and I'm extremely honored to be selected as the best man . . . "
   
   Or, you may just to want to begin differently, like "Believe me or not, I was so keen to be the best man that I was almost ready to beg John for it . . . "
3. Now thank the groom for selecting you the best man. Say something about the groom like some happy moments you shared. A funny story involving you, the groom and may be the bride would spice up your best man speech. You can also mention why you think the couple would make a very good match.
