If you're interested in this book, there's a good chance you've been chosen to be the best man for a wedding.
Congratulations!
You just just got suckered into doing a ton of work...
Seriously though, it goes without saying that the best man has one of the most difficult jobs in the entire wedding party. Aside from the officiant, and perhaps the bride and groom, the best man duties are by far the most numerous and diverse. From holding rings and coordinating with catering personnel, to handling last minute "fires", and mingling with guests, the title of best man carries with it a long list of responsibilities.
Chief among them is your best man speech.
For anyone who's attended weddings before, you've probably seen the good, the bad, and the ugly. Some speakers give great speeches that energize the crowd and leave a memory that will last a lifetime. While others fumble through notes and put the audience to sleep. Worst of all is when a speaker fails so epically, that they leave people feeling awkward or uncomfortable. Intentional or not, this can have a long lasting effect that can ruin the day. Whether it's malfunctioning microphones, lost note cards, or lack of preparation, there are a million things that can go wrong during a best man speech.
The purpose of this book is to help you navigate through the common pitfalls most best men make, and prepare you to give a KILLER best man speech. In this book, I'll teach you how to prepare, brainstorm, outline, rehearse, and execute your speech. We'll discuss all of the duties of a best man so you're completely prepared for the day of the wedding. This will include coordinating with the bride and groom, dress and appearance, interacting with friends and family, recording the speech, alcohol consumption and so much more. Additionally you'll learn the most common issues that happen during a best man speech and how to overcome them. Moreover I provide an example speech at the end of the book, that can be tweaked for your particular needs.
Ultimately, this book will provide best men with the tools, tips, tricks--and most importantly the confidence--they'll need to give a killer speech. By the end of the event, you'll walk out feeling like a hero and knowing you gave it 110%.
