Best Man Speech with Jokes
Good [evening/afternoon], Everyone!
First of all, I want to thank you all for being here today to celebrate this wonderful occasion. For those who don’t know me, I’m [Your Name], the best man and long-time friend of the groom, [Groom’s Name]. It’s an honor to stand here and share some stories and laughs about my best friend on his special day.
Opening Greeting
Good [evening/afternoon], everyone. Before I get started, I’d like to let you all know that I promised [Bride’s Name] I’d keep this speech short and sweet—much like [Groom’s Name] when he’s pleading for forgiveness after forgetting their anniversary!
Reflecting on Friendship
Being friends with [Groom’s Name] has been an adventure, to say the least. We’ve shared countless memories, many laughs, and a few mishaps along the way.
Funny Memory One of my favorite memories is from our college days. We were convinced we could make it as chefs and decided to throw a dinner party. Let’s just say that our culinary skills were, and still are, questionable. The fire department showed up not once, but twice. It turns out, setting off the smoke alarm is not the best way to announce dinner is ready.
Highlighting Groom’s Qualities with Humor
Despite our misadventures, [Groom’s Name] has always been someone I could count on. He’s a genuinely great guy, even if he does have a strange obsession with organizing his sock drawer.
Loyalty and Friendship [Groom’s Name] is the kind of friend who will always be there for you, even if it means watching that same terrible movie you love for the hundredth time. And trust me, I’ve made him do it. Several times.
Generosity and Kindness He’s incredibly generous, too. I remember once I was short on cash, and he offered to lend me some money. Of course, he forgot about it, so technically, I still owe him $20, but let’s keep that between us.
Welcoming the Bride with Humor
Today, we also celebrate [Bride’s Name], who has somehow managed to put up with [Groom’s Name]’s quirks and decided he’s the one. [Bride’s Name], you must have the patience of a saint and the sense of humor of a comedian. We’re all so happy to welcome you into the family.
Perfect Match You two complement each other perfectly. I mean, who else could appreciate [Groom’s Name]’s endless supply of dad jokes and his talent for turning every grocery trip into an adventure?
Offering Wisdom and Well-Wishes with Humor
As you both embark on this new chapter, I want to offer some advice and my heartfelt wishes.

Well-Wishes In all seriousness, I wish you both a lifetime of happiness, laughter, and love. May your marriage be filled with joy and your disagreements be short-lived and easily resolved—preferably with a big hug or a tub of ice cream.
