Creating the perfect wedding speech is one of the hardest jobs given to a best man. How funny should you be? What if your jokes aren't well received?
This headache is also shared by the bride and groom as well, who stand to see their marriage begin on awkward terms if someone decides to divulge the wrong information.
However, these fears didn't occur to one best man, who opted to make sure his brother endured the most mortifying few minutes of his life.
Check out the cringe-inducing speech in the clip below:

For Scottish best man Derek, there was no joke off limits when it came to writing a speech for his brother Gary's wedding.
Following Gary's nuptials to Kirsty at Doubletree Dunblane Hydro, Perthshire back in 2022, Derek delivered a particularly cheeky speech, which left his brother and new sister-in-law very red faced.
In the viral clip, which was originally shared by We Are One Wedding Films on TikTok, Gary recalled a particularly steamy Christmas morning Derek and Kirsty had spent together.
He began: "One Christmas morning, I got up in my mum and dad's house, buzzing I may add. Walked down the stairs to open my presents only to be greeted with a slap from my mum. 'What did I tell you about bringing folk back here?'
"[So] I say, 'What are you talking about mum, I've been in my bed the full night'.
"Obviously she's not thinking about golden child next door," he added.
Derek then went on to add that the family were opening presents together in the living room when they heard 'rustling' from the 'wee room in the auld house, as we called it', prompting Derek to go and investigate.
He continued: "At this point I go up the stairs, open Gary's room, and there you have it, Kirsty Currie, lying with her legs at ten to two.
"She certainly never came down the chimney in that position. Anyway, Merry Christmas, Kirsty."
The couple clearly weren't expecting to hear the tale shared with the entire wedding party, as they could be seen covering their faces in shame before breaking out into awkward laughter.
While Gary and Kirsty couldn't believe what they'd just heard, the couple's guests were thankfully able to see the funny side of the tale judging by their roaring laughter in the background.
Viewers of the viral video were also left in stitches, taking to the comments section to share their reactions.
"The absolute fear in the groom's eyes. That's when you know the speech is going to be good," one person wrote, while a second commented: "The Scottish have a way of telling stories that isn't matched anywhere."
"She's a good team player, love the way the bride laughed it off," a third person commented.
