Though you may feel a bit intimidated and nervous about making such an important speech in front of your friends and family, it is good to remember that the groom chose you for the most important role, save that of the bride in his wedding. Many of the people at the wedding should be familiar to you and you don't need to be anxious about speaking in front of them.
You should keep your speech short. Of course it isn't proper to just say, "Good luck and drink up." You should elaborate a little bit more than that, but do keep your comments brief and to the point. You should speak long enough to say what you want. It is best to keep the wedding toast under five minutes, which is not a very long time to say your piece.
Don't just get up and try to wing it when you are expected to give a wedding toast as the best man. You don't have to write down your speech word for word, but it is a good idea to have a general outline of what you want to say. The more you rehearse your speech, the more confident you will feel when it is time to give it. You can practice in front of a mirror, or ask your friends and relatives to be your practice audience.
When you begin to speak, be sure you introduce yourself and the role you have played in the wedding. Say how you met the groom and talk a bit about your friendship. You can say how long you and the groom have known each other and you can touch upon your feelings for his new bride. It is customary to thank the parents, especially if they are hosting the wedding and the guests for their presence at such a special occasion.
Telling a short and humorous story is a great way to warm up the crowd. Don't worry about becoming too sentimental, the guests will expect that. You can also tell a more heartwarming story, or cover both bases and combine the two. When you have finished expressing your feelings about the bride and groom, it will be time to raise your glass to your good friend and his new wife and toast their new life together that begins today.
