Yes, the best mans speech is basically a grilling of the groom. Some funny stories about you guys as kids, something embarrassing that he did in years gone by all wrapped up to I love you guys, your new bride is wonderful, welcome to the family etc etc....
My brother was the best man at my wedding. He started with the classic line...
"Being asked to do the best man's speech is a bit like being asked to sleep with the Queen. It's a tremendous honour, but no one really wants to do it".
he then continued with
"I was actually suprised when Andy asked me. He knows I've been married four years and no longer have a voice".
Once you get a couple of laughs you'll be fine. A couple of stories and a welcome to the family and your done. Lots of websites out there to help with this too.
