I run the bachelor party idea site “The Doomed Groom” and I’ve written an article about what I think makes a great best man speech. Below, I have reprinted the exact speech that my best man gave to me and my wife during our reception that is included in that article. To this day, all who attended have told me that it was the best best man toast they’ve ever heard.
It all started out with, of all things, a survey. Jason showed up at our door and asked us to fill out a sheet that had a whole bunch of questions about ourselves. And this is what he came up with:
“When Tom asked me to be his best man, I obviously realized I would be giving a toast. And I certainly felt I could easily come up here and say wonderful things about Tom and Julie and their relationship, but I really wanted to be able to express something that went beyond just gut feeling and observation.
I wanted to be able to say something more absolute, something that had some serious empirical data behind it. So I decided to create the most accurate compatibility survey known to man. This survey was carefully designed to test the exact areas of the human mind where attraction and potential for relationship take place.
There were five questions, and I’d like to share Julie’s and Tom’s results with you. The first question was, ‘Did you like the movie “Titanic?”’ Julie’s answer was “yes.” And Tom’s said “no.” Now what this told me was that Julie is indeed female and Tom is male, which I considered a positive result in terms of their compatibility. So we were off to a good start.
But then came question number two. What is your favorite candy bar? Julie said “Nutrageous.” And Tom said “Payday.” I know that on the surface this might seem good, both bars having nuts and all, but let me ask you, what type of person likes Payday? An independent thinker. Maybe a little too independent.
I moved on to question three. If you were a character on the Brady Bunch, which one would you be? Julie said “Jan.” And Tom said, “Sam the Butcher.” Tom also added, “Cause he’s the one with all the meat.” Jan and Sam the Butcher. Not exactly a match made in heaven, folks.
Question four. What celebrity do people say you most resemble? Julie said, “Connie Chung.” Tom said, “Moby, with a thyroid problem.” At this point, not only was I questioning their compatibility, I was seriously questioning Tom’s mental stability. I mean what was I going to say for their toast? Congratulations Connie and Moby? I can’t endorse that.
So I moved on to the fifth question. I asked Julie, “Why is Tom the right person for you?” And she said, “Because he’s like my other half. We see the world the same way, like the same things, share the same sense of humor. But most of all it just feels “right” when I’m with him.”
And I asked Tom, “Why is Julie the right person for you?” And he said, “Because, no matter how much love I give to her, I get it back double. And then some. Because, with her, I can finally see my future and a life I can’t wait to live. Because being with her is as easy as breathing and just as necessary for me to live. She is everything to me. Everything.”
After I read those answers, I thought to myself… Payday? Maybe. Maybe Payday and Nutrageous can walk off in the sunset together and one day have beautiful chewy, peanut-buttery children. Maybe there’s a reason Sam the Butcher never married Alice. Maybe he had his eyes on Jan the whole time. Who knows.
But honestly, I obviously was having a little fun with this survey, but when I did read those answers and as I read them today, I was and am moved by Julie’s and Tom’s obvious love for one another.
I’ve known Tom for 20 years, and I can honestly say he is one of the kindest, funniest, most wonderful people I have ever known, and I’ve never seen him happier than he has been since he met you Julie. I can’t tell you how proud and honored I am to be able to stand up here and toast your future together.
To Tom and Julie, may you support one another as best friends, may you always create joy for each other, and may you have a long life of love and happiness.”
So, there you go. There weren’t many dry eyes in the house, let me tell you. It may not work for your brother and best man, but I think it really addresses where their heart should be when they do write theirs.
I hope this helps!
