Product Description

Product Description

1,200,000 men will have to stand up at the wedding and make an appropriate speech. 90 per cent of the them will never have made a speech and all of them will be apprehensive - if not completely terrified! Not all of them will be anxious about the delivery itself. But all of them will be concerned that their speech is both funny and meets the acceptable etiquette required for the occasion. A difficult balance to strike. Here is their solution. A practical guide that covers everything you need to know.

5.0 out of 5 stars Ideal for most British weddings, 15 Jan 2002
By A Customer
This review is from: Wedding Speeches and Toasts (Paperback)
Very good for identifying what is expected from each speech and giving ideas as to the content, ideal if you don't do this for a living.

The humour, as pointed out by another review, is very witty and sometimes requires the audience to think a little (rather than having the punch line always spelt out to them). Ideal for most British weddings and any other wedding where the audience can think.

4.0 out of 5 stars Take from it what you will, 22 Jun 2002
This review is from: Wedding Speeches and Toasts (Paperback)
This book really helped me to write a very well recieved best man's speech. It's great for setting out a framework, so all you need do is fill in the gaps. There's lots of handy hints for rehearsal and delivery. There are sections giving examples of quotations and jokes which are pretty lame and without them the book would still be complete.

1.0 out of 5 stars "If I had a match I could put it out of its misery", 10 May 2002
By A Customer
This review is from: Wedding Speeches and Toasts (Paperback)
This book isn't just irrelevant to US weddings, its irrelevant to UK weddings. The speech ideas make me cringe with embarrassment. The jokes are lame. The quotes are weak. I am sure the author has good intentions, but I would be the laughing stock of my friends if I "used" any of her speech ideas in my forthcoming best man speech. As the great Muppet Sax player Zoot once said: "If I had a match I could put it out of its misery". And if I could award 0 stars I would ask if I could award minus one.
