wedding speech

[Jason James Gairn]

Don't thank anyone in your speech, just publically tell your wife how much you love her. That's all that matters.

[athelstan]

By tradition the bridegroom's speech follows the father of the bride's speech.

 

Thank the parents of the bride for a lovely wedding and reception; and how honoured or happy you feel joining their family.

 

Offer sincere appreciation to other family members, friends, photographer, your vicar and your bride on this wonderful occasion

 

Give thanks to your parents for their lifelong support. Add siblings or close friends in attendance.

 

Tell your bride how lovely she looks and how much the day means to you.

 

Let your best man know how you value his friendship and thank him for taking part in the memorable occasion.

 

Present a toast to the bridesmaids for their good health and happiness then turn to the next presenter, usually the best man, for his speech or toast.

[Mesterh]

Isnt it also the groom's job to dish out any presents to the bridesmaids, best man etc?

It was when I was the best man.

[Dean Lofthouse]

Just don't bore everyone with "I'd like to thank......and I'd like to thank"

 

Just say how beautiful your wife looks and that it is a good job she doesn't look like her mother, otherwise you wouldn't have married her.
