A best-man/maid-of-honour/parent wedding toast that actually lands — funny without roasting, moving without syrup, short enough that nobody checks their phone. Use when someone has to give a wedding speech and has either nothing or a dangerous first draft. Produces a 2-4 minute toast built on one good story, plus delivery notes and the three jokes to cut.

# Wedding Speech

Every bad wedding speech fails the same three ways: too long, too inside, or secretly about the speaker. The fix is structural — one story, one arc from laughter to warmth, one glass raised under four minutes.

## Required Inputs

- **The role** (best man, maid of honour, parent, friend) and the speaker's real relationship to the couple.
- **One to three stories** about the person they know best — including the unusable ones (exes, arrests, hazings: they won't be used, but they often contain a usable kernel).
- **What they honestly think of the partner** — the pivot of the whole speech lives here.
- Audience shape: grandparents present? Two families with different humour thresholds? Cultural or religious considerations?

## The Arc That Works

1. **Open with a laugh that costs nothing** — self-deprecating or situational, never at the couple's expense yet ("For those who don't know me — which after this speech may be a choice…").
