Best Man Poem - Wedding Poems For The Best Man Speech

So you think reciting a poem for your best man speech is for sissies, huh? Well, think again! Some of our greatest poems came from men and that's "real men", too! With a handful a women scatter in the mix most of our most famous poems came from men. For instance, Emerson, Brock, Browning (both of them) and Lord Byron, just to name a few.

So using a poem for your best man speech might be the easiest way for you to go. You can make one up or use one of the famous ones as a starting point for your speech. Of course, if you find a longer poem that says exactly what you want to say then you can use that as your best man speech.

There is this: Girls just love a guy who writes poetry... and if you can recite it properly then they might just be hauling you off to the alter.

Writing a best man poem is not all that hard because poems have a tendency to rhyme. Everyone can make up a rhyme or you can use one of the famous poems and adjust it to fit your best man poem. As always, give credit where credit is due.

It can be as simply as -

Roses are red,
Violets are blue,
You're marrying her,
But I want to, too!
