Being the best man in a wedding is such a privilege. But it also comes with a responsibility. A best man can either be a dear friend, brother, or a close relative of the groom or bride. If you had the honor to be the best man at a wedding, you need to write your own toast and present it during the wedding reception. To get you started, here are some tips.
Do your homework
If you are in the dark when it comes to writing speeches, you can always search around on the internet. You can find a great deal of information on how to go about your wedding toast. You can read a number of best man speech samples online so you would have an plan on how to write your own. There are also templates that can easily guide you on the thoughts that you should incorporate in your speech such as best man speech quotes. Just remember that it would not be adequate to use these samples as they are. You should be able to create your own personal wedding toast. You don't want something generic. You want something that is heartfelt and touching. Something that can really be appreciated by the newly wed couples and the rest of the guests. It would be best to speak from your heart and just say what you feel.
Do your outline
Once you already have an plan on what you should write in your best man wedding speech, it's time to sit at the computer. Always start with a blank sheet of paper. If you have a hard time starting off with a speech right away, you can make an outline of the things that you want to say. In your opening comments, say your congratulations, appreciation and welcoming remarks. Tell the guests a short bit about yourself and your relationship with the bride or the groom. You can also share experiences and memories that you share with the couple and how you feel about their marriage. Make sure that your speech would come out positive. Lastly, don't forget to say your wedding toast and best wishes for the newly wed couple.
Do practice
When your draft is just right, take some time to practice saying your speech. There may be times that what you've written may not come out sounding right when you say it out loud. So be certain that you rehearse delivering your speech days before the event. Practicing delivering your speech would also allow you to test if you have the right tone that you want your toast to have. Do you want to come out serious, solemn or funny? Either way, you should be able to create a wedding speech with utmost sincerity.
Do your thing
On the day of the wedding and when it's time to do your toast, remain calm and positive. Everything will be fine if you just be yourself and speak from the heart.

How I Used The Fresh Papaya (PawPaw):
The fruit was to be consumed ‘As is’ because we always have a small plate of fruit everyday around 5 pm.
I planned on adding a teaspoon of seeds into my Yogurt at lunchtime.
The ‘Coleslaw’ I would add to any Salad (even in a sandwich) as it’s summertime in Oz and we are eating a lot of Salads. Don’t know what I am going to do in the Winter though? If you have any ideas please add them as a comment so everyone can benefit.
I had also planned on five serves per day because I thought it would be better to ‘Drip Feed’ it into me, as my wife thinks I am a ‘Drip’ sometimes anyway – so that should fit.

Monday 6th Feb 2012: My Prostate Cancer Diary.
So here is the problem. I have dismissed Surgery completly and that leads me to Radio Therapy as the only available conventional medical alternative.
My Oncologist want me to have Hormone Treatment to:
- a: Slow the Growth of the Cancer cells by (basically) chemically castrating me. Ouch!
- b: Shrink the Prostate down to a smaller target for his magic Death Ray.
I didn’t want to do that with Hormone treatment, but can appreciate why he wants to do that.
So I’m looking into all types of Natural and Alternative medications.
The best I have come up with is PawPaw (Papaya) as there have been quite a few studies with very promising reasults, PLUS it has been… Continue reading Prostate Cancer Diary - My Natural Alternative
Prostate Treatments and Me.
Long time coming since my last post – but I have been kinda busy…. Tests – tests and more tests 
So this is the latest:
My Urologist sent me to the Radio Oncologist because I decided I do NOT want surgery. Apparently I can’t have Brachyatherapy (my original choice) because my Gleason Score is 8 – too high, so External Beam Therapy is the only option, even though they only found cancer cells in ONE of the TEN Biopsies they took.
HOWEVER: (I am discovering LOTS of ‘Howevers’), the Oncologist wants me to have Hormone Treatment first to bring my enlarged prostate down in size.
An ‘Average’ prostate is about 40mm – about the size of a small Plum -… Continue reading My Personal Prostate Cancer Treatment Options
