I had to be Best 'Man' (I'm female). A huge surprise as I didn't really know the groom; he's very quiet - spent a lot of time on the computer. The only stories I knew of were the 3 motorbike accidents he'd had where he'd broken bones/ destroyed nerve supply to his arm.
People want to enjoy themselves on the day, they want the couple to enjoy it i.e. they'll laugh at anything:
(Had established the groom had been saving for the engagement ring for several years) "I was truly impressed by how well he recognised the need for the ring to cost an arm and leg, I’m sure we’re all impressed by how literally he took the saying."
"Their home is your home, as I have demonstrated by the numerous times I’ve fallen asleep on their sofa. I can only hope that one day I will find the happiness that Nikki & David so obviously share, & such a comfortable sofa."
Genuinely, people laughed heartily at those. That's how much they want to enjoy themselves.
I think as people have said above, keep it short, be sincere, don't try and be someone you're not. I'd got stories from the groom's brother but I didn't really relate to them, so didn't use them.
Oh, don't miss anyone important off the thank you list!
Good luck, enjoy!
