The Perfect Wedding Speech for the Groom

Writing a groom's speech while also preparing for your wedding can be quite daunting. Here are some useful tips that can turn the speech from a chore to an activity that you might actually enjoy. Find out how many people are giving speeches.

In addition, your bride may want to give a speech of her own. Coordination is the key at a wedding ceremony. When it comes to a wedding speech groom always follows those made by the parents. Speeches given by your parents and in-laws will usually influence much of what you have to say.

The father of the bride is usually the first to give the toast followed by the groom then the best man. However, if there are other people you need to schedule them in accordingly. For example, the father of the groom can go after the father of the bride. The bride's speech can follow the groom's followed by the maid of honor. It is best to end with the best man as that speech is most likely to be funny and outrageous, as the best man does not have to follow any protocol.

For a wedding speech groom ought to mix his speech with emotion and humor. Overly romantic speeches can go down well with women but will earn quite a few snickers from your pals.

You don't want to run the risk of insulting or embarrassing anyone present at the reception. So it is best to stick to your own experiences or if need be, the experiences you've shared with very close friends as you can always rely on them to be easy going.

For a wedding speech groom can begin by talking about the couple's relationship, the past, the present and future. Any funny anecdotes about your relationship are always a good addition. A romantic paragraph about how you met and what you felt at the time is a definite winner. Talking about the proposal and your feelings when she said yes is guaranteed to go down well with the ladies. Talk about you as a couple and the growth of your relationship. Also talk about your feeling on your wedding day especially when you saw your bride walking down the aisle. This would be an emotional moment for both of you.

If you are giving a speech on behalf of your bride then make sure you acknowledge her as well. Start off with "My Wife and I" and always address everything in plural. The word "we" should be scattered all over your speech. Thanking everyone who played a significant role in the wedding is the next priority. Thank the father of the bride for his speech. Refer to his speech to earn brownie points with him. Thank your bride's family and yours for being your support system. Your best man, the maid of humor and anyone else who made an impact should be mentioned individually. You can introduce your best man at this point and mention why you chose him for the position. Inject a bit of humor here, or else it would seem like you are reading off a list.

In a wedding speech groom ought to conclude by declaring his feelings for his bride and once again thanking the families for helping out. Thank all the guests for their well wishes and invite them to share in your happiness.
