. While being a best man is a great honor and a lot of fun (for the most part) there is one little speedbumb that you need to get over during the wedding ceremony – and that is the best mans speech.
I’ve seen far too many wedding ceremonies spiled by embarrassingly bad best man speech. In stark contrast to this I’ve seen entire wedding ceremonies be moved to tears by awesome speeches that often comes from guys you would never expect. The most important aspect of a killer best mans speech is SINCERITY. It can’t be fakes and it can’t be learned or taught. Its just something that’s got to come from you. A bad speech that’s sincere will be good. A good speech without sincerity will be boring and feel fake.
So, how can you use this quick-fix for delivering a killer speech? Well, you simply need to be sincere in what you say but for many it can be a challenge. So, let me help you. Here are 3 easy ways to use sincerity in your best mans speech.
1. Stories
Stories are universally appealing. Everybody loves a story and our entire entertainment industry revolves around stories. True stories are extremely powerful simply because its believable and people tend to connect with it on an emotional level. If you want to deliver a killer best mans speech, all you have to do is to tell a great (true) story that either relates to the groom or illustrates something about the groom. This is guaranteed to hit hard with the wedding party.
2. Secrets and Confessions
When you make a confession and divulge a secret you instantly get people’s attention and evoke a sense of trust. I’m not talking about secrets that are best kept a secret. I’m talking about something that you can share about the groom that you’ve never told anyone before – preferably something that illustrates what a great guy he is. This level of sincerity will instantly hit home with your audience.
3. Honesty
The best form of sincerity is honesty. Making up stories can be a great way to give an entertaining speech but if you really want to make a memorable best mans speech you need to be brutally honest with everything you say. How can you use honesty to say something about the bride or groom to honour them at their wedding day?
