When I started I didn't really think of how hard this was going to be but as I get deeper into writing it I'm starting to get a little worried that I don't know what the hell I am doing. It doesn't help that I'm not much of a public speaker in the first place and guarantee I'll be nervous about addressing the guests but I just want to make sure I say enough to get the job done but not too much that people start yawning mid-way.

Don't try to be funny. Just speak from the heart. If you're the guy's best man, chances are you're pretty close to him. Tell the audience what he means to you and why he is good for the bride.
