The Best Man's speech is yet another classic wedding moment that has found its way into countless romantic comedies, books and sketch shows. An speech that is so bad and awkward that it is funny is a good recipe for a sketch, but not the best recipe for a happy day or a life-long friendship.
So what is the worst thing that a Best Man can say in his speech? The classic scenario is the disclosure of certain facts about the grooms past, which are a complete surprise to the guests, and indeed the bride. The Best Man, being the grooms best friend, has had access and been privy to all sorts of interesting bits of gossip, or even scandal. The worst thing a Best Man can do would be to actually capitalize on this sort of information. By all means make things up, and make sure the audience knows that they are made up.
