Ever been a Best Man? Did you give a good toast? Give me some pointers... my brother's getting married next weekend and I'm the man.
(Do I tear his ass up or be kind? How much embarassing content is acceptable?)
thx.

it's like a Roast, do a little of both. Make fun of him and then also say that you love him

one of my mates got married over a year ago. the best man, during his speech said something like "I've known graig for a long time and we have been through a lot of things together... fortunately, none of them can be here this evening"
(the pair of them were known to be players)
a lot of the older folk (and more importantly, his wife) missed or didnt get the joke ... we were all pissin ourselves though

Can't you just skip the speech? It not a big deal, is it? I was best man last year at my friends wedding and i didn't do a speech.
no problemo

A roast is where you tear someone apart... like Fryar's Club.
I'm just a lil' nervous about throwing out jokes or sarcasm that peple won't get.
Skip the toast? That's like skipping the cake or kiss.

I agree, make some jokes and say some nice things about him at the same time. You could also end on a nice note, while saying funny but true things beforehand.

don't forget to practice it until it you deliver it like you've just thought of it off the top of your head like in the movies.

And isn't de riguer to end with:
"and may all your ups and downs be between the sheets!"
(wait for applause. cue band. begin funky chicken)

pull something like the wedding singer....
Remember that time in Puerto Rico when we picked up those two uh... well, I guess they were prostitutes but I don't remember paying.

do Kip's wedding song from Napoleon Dynamite in spoken word form.

"You know I just came from crashing a funeral....(silence)....Mom! More meatloaf!!!"

Why do you love me?
Why do you need me?
Always and forever
We met in a chat room
Now our love can fully bloom
Sure, the World Wide Web is great
But you, you make me salivate
I love technology
But not as much as you, you see
But I still love technology
Always and forever."Your sandy hair floats in the air
To me it's like a lullaby
I'm just flying by
Oh so high
Like a kite
Tied to a skate."

funny ish...
I've actually 'borrowed' a line from Meet the Parents, but I like the Puertor Rican prostiture line.
Funny thing about that internet poem... like my wife (for four years) and I did, these two also met online!
