Product Description
The focus of this book is on that brief but terrifying prospect: the Best Man's speech. The book includes techniques for using stories, jokes and quotations that will lift your speech well above the bare necessities, helping you not only to make the speech, but also to enjoy it. More than just a guide to the Best Man's speech, this book is a one-stop guide to being a really effective, all round, Best Man. Above all its purpose is to help you enjoy your role as Best Man and to make it an occasion that honours the groom and his chosen bride.

4.0 out of 5 stars One of the better Best Man books about, 24 Aug 2002
By A Customer
While being full of useful information, I felt that there was a lot of 'padding' material used to increase the page-count and justify the price. The structure of the book is also rather muddled and I found myself constantly hopping between chapters trying to follow a thread.

Despite this, the checklists of things to do and advice for before, during and after 'the big day' is all extremely useful. The Speech writing guide is excellent and provides solid advice for people that have never written or delivered a speech before (it saved my neck!). The book also covers some of the other roles a Best Man can be asked to carry out, including the conduction of the days events and sorting out any problems.

3.0 out of 5 stars OK, but there's better help out there, 31 May 2003
I bought this book in the hope that it would really help me in writing a great speech, but I was left a bit disappointed.

There's useful background information, and some good ideas, but there's better help out there for best men who want to give a funny and memorable speech.

A friend of mine gave an absolute killer speech the other month, having found a website with loads of lines from real past speeches - thebestmanspeech.com, if I remember. I wish I'd found it too!

4.0 out of 5 stars brilliant for the beginner, 17 Aug 2003
what an excellent book!!!!
its a stark contrast to all the other books i've looked at, it gives you much needed history of bestman duties, and it's implications on your modern duties, read it and you will be impressed!!!

1.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing
Unfortunately, this book does not live up to its name. It has a nice introduction that briefly explains the origins of some of the wedding traditions. Read more
