Best man help!

Hi, not sure if this is the correct section but I am freaking out with nerves. I'm best man for my friend and I haven't prepared a speech and I'm not sure whether to or not. Any opinions? Thanks in advance

Definitely prepare. Just some key 'who to thanks/toast' notes would do, but ideally words to remind you of funny stories. Oh, and if you're not naturally funny, go with your strengths: are you heartfelt? Emotional? Straight talking? Use it.
Tell the crowd how you met the groom, relate how he met the bride (esp if a story that involves you), and say how happy they make each other.
You'll be great.

Yes - prepare as per Humpty's guidelines. And ensure that your intake of alcohol is minimal till after the speech has been made!

Thank you both. Really appreciate the advice. Will let you know how it all goes lol
