The wedding speech, written to be said out loud.
One story told properly, the right length for the room, and a closing line people will repeat afterwards.
What is the occasion, and how long do you have on stage?
The shape of a speech that works
Open with the concrete thing, one story under two minutes, then turn to them.
Funny without being cruel
Where the line is, and the three joke shapes that always land badly.
Best man, maid of honour, parent
What each role is expected to do, and how long each one gets.
Questions people ask first
How long should it be?
Two to four minutes for a best man or maid of honour speech; the pack asks and writes to that length.
I have nothing written and the wedding is Saturday
Give it the facts you have — the speech comes back in one reply, and you can rehearse it in the same conversation.
