best man question

FH has 5 very good friends. he didn't want to pick the best man because he felt bad so he was going to just ask them who wanted to be it.

i finally talked him out of this idea & he finally picked one of them. the problem is that the one he picked is too shy to give a speech so do you think its ok to have him as the best man & then have someone else give the speech???

why not have the moh give the speech....we have been getting jipped for years and we have equal rights so why not!!!!

Dont they both usually give the speech anyway?

And to answer your question I think it would be fine but what if you let the BM choose who he wants to give his speech, does that make sense/sound okay? Maybe he could write it with the other person and even just stand there too as the other person reads it, maybe?

of course the MOH (my sister) is giving a speech, if it wasn't for her i would have nothing done for this wedding. lol.

yes the best man has said he is not comfortable giving a speech. one of FHs friends already told him that he started writing a speech in case he was picked.

i think i am going to suggest that all the guys give a couple of lines to the one friend who has no problem giving public speeches & let him put something together.

Has he told you or FH that he doesn't want to make the sppech? I think you guys should make him lol. When I was the MOH at my sister's wedding, I was too shy to make a speech but I got over it and did it anyway.

nah we can't make him, he is that shy. him & FH have been friends since freshman year of high school & i have known him for 9 years & he just recently started speaking in front of me.

LoL. I don't think it's a big deal if the BM doesn't make the speech. No worries!

i agree.. no big deal.

yeah have the MOH do the speech.... or just have the BM do a brief intro to the MOH for her to do her speech.

Or..... have the most outgoing groomsman do the speech on behalf of the entire bridal party
