Don't worry, it's not as scary as it seems and i can honestly say that my wedding day was a great day and I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Oh and don't worry about the speech. The grooms job is just to thank everyone. It's the best man who is supposed to make everyone laugh.

the groom has to thank and compliment the bridesmaids, i was best man for a friend of mine and the bridesmaids were telling me that i had to say it, I told them that i couldnt lie they werent impressed, the video guy told us that the groom had to do it.

I've also got to thank the brides mother for all her help, so I will be thanking her for phoning the hotel to tell them about her brothers dietary requirements then. 

Again like Dryle, I couldn't possibly lie about that.....

Yeah while it is funny in this sort of conversation, it is a huge no no on the big day!  Our Toastmaster warned my best man not to tell stuff like that.

I've only got one ex girlfriend coming to the wedding!  It was a long time ago and I was a student at the time, much beer involved etc..

One thing about having a friend who is also into model trains, he can't make fun at me for that at least!

Mine was quite kind. He did make a lot of jokes at my expense but there were a lot of things he could have said but didn't

Yeah and don't I know it!

Cheers K for the jokes.  Might drop one or two of those into my speech.

I'm not too sure about the staying sober bit even though you are drinking a huge amount....Tell you what I'll practise that at my stag doo!

Cheers

Good luck mate. I did it 4 years ago and I have no regrets. The hard bit was actually the organisation. Once I got there I don't know why but I had no nerves at all.

It'll all be over in a flash!

One thing I was told by a few people was no matter how much you drink on your wedding day/night, you will not get drunk! I didn't believe a word until I necked 4 bottles of beer at home before we left for the reception then a very large glass of JD with a splash of coke. The rest of the night was spent with friends buying me drinks like absynth and other delights and when we got back to the hotel, I had another few glasses of JD. I felt a little tired but sober as a judge! You'll have to let me know if you get the same!

Good luck!

Mike

happened with me drank a bottle of champers b4 weddingand no probs, drank more on the way to the reception, still stone cold sober.

 

all the best, remember you not only gain a wife...............
