Creating a guide for all best men

Sandy Round Table is looking for examples of good and bad speeches at the wedding breakfast to help create a definitive guide. In theory this should help all future best men to deliver the perfect speech.

John Payne, president of Round Table, said: “Round Table has been built around providing a network of advice and camaraderie for men aged 18 to 45 since 1927 and therefore our members are well placed for understanding the stress of being a best man.

“We are appealing to people in Sandy to send us their favourite best man stories, anecdotes and if possible speeches.

“We know that many people have their weddings filmed nowadays so we’re hoping to receive some great clips of what to do or say or perhaps examples of what not to do or say.

“Our aim is to use the responses we receive from people in Bedfordshire and those from Round Table’s network of more than 500 tables to produce a simple but authoritative guide to delivering the perfect best man’s speech, created by those who know best – the men who’ve been there.”

With your help the number of gaffes, guffaws and insults produced by best men over the years can be reduced in the future.

Anyone with tips, examples or footage to share in order to help the Sandy Round Table create its guide should email [email protected].
