My mums getting married on monday, and last min ive been roped into doing a speech
The speech for my own wedding went down really well cos its was the usual thanks for coming etc, few digs at the new father in law and a few other funny remarks etc

But....for my mums wedding...i have no idea what to say?
The basic thanks for coming...
But dont have any funny stories about her or her new husband so cant tell stories etc, so yeahhh,
HELP :tumbleweed:
 
Gulp! Good luck.

Keep it short with a few middle of the road jokes about Mums, weddings and step-Dads would be my advice. Either that or get blasted and free-wheel!!!
 
Being asked to be a Best Man is a bit like being asked to sleep with the Queen...

It's a great honour, but you really wouldn't want to do it!!

Doesn't apply I know...

but a good gag would be, to say

Now mum has had an interesting past, and a lot of people have come and gone, but now she's settled in with **** could everyone who had a key to her place please drop them off now...

This is where you tell about 5 blokes about your gag, give them a key and have them walk up to the table, a couple of grandads, a couple of young men etc etc :thumbsup:
 
A nice gentle wedding joke, look around the room slowly, then turn to your Mom and say, your alright Mum, no-ones got a dress like yours, might apply for this wedding, might not. :?
 
I think a more heartfelt speech rather than jokes would go down best. It's your Mum and you should be the one telling her new husband and the rest of the guests how lucky he is.
Personally I think this would go down better. Not a dry eye in the house and all that.

What ever you go for, good :)
 
Quite fun to look up an almanac of her year of birth and find great events/disasters etc that you can read out with appropriate comments etc


Tapatalking...

Decided to go down the sentimental route....always a sure winner with the mums isnt it

Yeah it's only really when you're a best man that you can really go to town on a speech :thumbsup:

I feel your pain :(

Good luck Woots I'm sure you'll do her proud.

(stark, that's very funny!)
 
Good luck woots, my only observation would be to play on the fact that our children (no matter their age) find it uncomfortable to think that their parents have sex. So the night of your speech will be your mothers wedding night.......... :wink:

I wonder how many things you can list during the speech that could to be used to scupper the wedding night :lol:

Laced drinks
Food poisoning etcetera
