A Public Service To Any Best Men Out There

Now for something today that was completely random. I was cleaning out one of my junk drawers today and came across two very interesting things, my speech for my best friend’s wedding and a deck of cards with dares on them made for bachelor parties or just a random night of fun with the guys at a bar or club. So I figured as a service to any best men out there, since it is coming upon wedding season, I would share my speech with all of you and as a bonus I will pick one random card every blog post and share what the card says to do. So without further ado I give you my best man speech in its entirety. (Clears throat)

“Good Evening.

Ladies and gentlemen, for those of you who don’t know me my name is Dave Wouldyoulikeadrink. Please feel free to say hello and call me by my full name later on.

Let me start out by saying that Mandy and I don’t know each other very well. However, in the time that I have spent with her I quickly understand why Eric has asked her to be his wife. Along with Mandy’s beautiful looks comes a truly genuine person with a big heart, gentle soul, and a great sense of humor, and I know that everyone here will agree when I say that Mandy, you look very beautiful today.

Now what can I say about Eric? Well he is witty, funny, handsome, strong, and … and … uh … (look at Eric the groom) Eric, what’s this word say? Sorry man I can’t read your writing!

I know the duties of the best man are not to be taken lightly, and I’m sure you’ll all agree that my first duty getting Eric to the church, sober on time and eventually married was a complete success.

On a serious note, not only is he my best friend, but I love Eric Lazlo-Jacque Szijj as if he were my brother. Eric has been my closest friend for years now. Level- headed, bright, and with a genuine love for life, Eric is truly an inspiration. From his contagious laugh to his drunk-looking smirk he gets when something amuses him, he is always uplifting.

Since that faithful day when Eric met Mandy, we have all seen some changes in him. Eric seems to be the happiest I’ve seen him and I know that the only thing that could make him happier is to have a lifelong marriage to his new bride, celebrating the triumphs and tribulations with someone he holds so dear in his heart.

I just want to say that Eric, you really are the best man here today and I want to tell you that you have always been like a brother to me. You truly are one of the best friends a man could have.

Now I may not be the oldest, and I’m defiantly not the wisest here, but I have learned this: friends this good are truly hard to come by and I could ask for nothing more than Eric willingly provides

Would everyone please raise your glasses?

Here’s to love. To those who seek it, may they find it. To those who’ve found it, may it be everlasting.

Cheers!”

Touching ain’t it. So to all you best men out there trying to figure out a speech feel free to borrow that one and use it however you want.

Now as promised here is tonight’s random Bachelor Dare card: “Take a shot from a pretty mama’s cleavage. (Be sure to ask first)”

Wow that’s an interesting one I hope it’s not too R-Rated I am hoping to go for a little more PG-13 but if anyone doesn’t like it let me know and I’ll stop, but if everyone is ok with it I’ll go on until I finish the deck, which will be much more fun.
