Best man jokes about the bride

Best man jokes are a staple of wedding speeches, but it's important to keep them good-natured and not offensive. Here are some examples of jokes about the bride that should keep the audience laughing and the bride smiling:

"I've played football with [Name] on many occasions and never seen him lose a ball... as he doesn't kick it that far. In fact, he struggles to kick it full stop."

"I'd like to congratulate [Name] on their excellent taste... in speakers."

"I'd like to begin my speech by giving the happy couple some relationship advice, but unfortunately, I'm single and spend most of my time trying to coax my cat into little outfits/browsing Doctor Who fan sites/playing Rock Paper Scissors with Alexa."

"I'd like to start by saying that, of all the weddings I've attended over the years, this one is, by far, the most recent."

"I'd also like to congratulate [Name] on a truly magnificent speech. I always knew it would be hard to follow and I was right, I could hardly follow a word of it."

"I've been instructed to keep this speech smut-free, so if I come across any innuendo, I'll whip it out immediately."

"I've been told I won't get away with a few thank yous and a quick toast. Apparently, as Best Man, I'm supposed to sing the Groom's praises and talk about his good qualities. Unfortunately, I can't sing and I won't lie."

"I think the main reason we've lasted as friends all these years is because you're geographically convenient... and you had a trampoline."

"I read somewhere the perfect best man speech should last as long as it takes for the groom to make love. So ladies and gentlemen, please raise a glass to the happy couple!"

"I just heard there was a lucrative pool on the length of the Best Man’s speech. I put my money on 40 minutes, so settle in..."

"I'd also like to congratulate [Name] on a truly magnificent speech. I always knew it would be hard to follow and I was right, I couldn't follow a word of it."

"I spoke to both [Bride] and [Groom] before the Wedding and I asked [Groom] what he was looking for in Marriage – he said “Love, happiness and a long life together.” When I asked [Bride] the same question – she replied – A coffee percolator!"

"I must admit, I’m not used to speaking in public. Until now I thought a toastmaster was a kitchen appliance."

"I sincerely hope that each day of [Insert names] marriage is better than the one before, the only thing is that also means they'll look back on today, their wedding day, and say that it was the worst day of their lives."

"I’ve been worried about giving this speech for a while now. You'll be glad to hear that last night I slept like a baby. I woke up every two hours, bawling my eyes out."

"I’d like to start by congratulating [Name] on their excellent taste... in speakers."

"I'm so happy to be overseeing the only five minutes of today that [bride or groom's Name] didn't plan. Only joking, they went over my speech with me at the bar half an hour ago. [Pulls extra page out of pocket] But I did manage to hide one page!"

"I can see how incredibly happy you have made my old friend over these last eight years and just how much you have helped to change his life for the better. He’s always been a great guy, but now he has wider horizons and a greater sense of adventure. And I know just how much of a support you’ve been to him through the tough times. I think you are a great couple and I look forward to many more happy times together in the future."
