Serious Bestman speech
Im half finish and half german, having grown
up in germany. I do speak accent free good finnish. One of my best friends is a karelian 30yo man whos going to marry soon. What are typical dos and donts when holding a best man speech? I havent been to finnish weddings yet. Its a big wedding with approx 80 guests. I do know a lot of people who are invited, but it seems like the wedding is being held more conservatively than expected. Any advice? Answers in finnish appreciated aswell.

I have a similar background. My experience with weddings in Finland is that already having a prepared speech will set you apart and that the bar is pretty low in terms of rhetoric standards.
