student asking question

Would the nuance be changed if I put "best" instead of "biggest" here?

Yes, the two words would imply slightly different things. "Biggest" implies level of importance; the speaker is stating that today is the most important day of his life. "Best" implies "happiness," which is not a synonym for "importance." An event can be very important to a person and at the same time not necessarily give them happiness.
