The Grooms Speech
Posted by Sarah on 25 Dec 2009 | Tagged as: Wedding Gowns |
It may sound obvious, but your grooms wedding speech is not an opportunity to say what you want - No unfortunately, it requires structure to ensure you don’t forget to mention anyone. It took me a long time to realise, but basically it’s about keeping everyone happy to ensure your wedding day goes perfectly!
Knowing Who To Thank
One of the first things I incorporated into my grooms speech, was to thank just about anyone who had got me to where I was on that wedding day. That is whether it is the bestman, the maid of honor or your lovely bride. And don’t forget the father of the bride!
As a side note, groom speeches are the most formal of all the wedding speeches. It is important that it is not as sentimental as the father of the bride speech, nor as funny as the best man’s speech? However, there is no reason you can’t inject a bit of fun into the speech or the groom toast with a couple of decent groom wedding jokes! Click here to learn more: Grooms Speach.
Don’t Forget The Bride!
Even though you may have told the story a million times, I thought i’d start my grooms speech with a story about how I met my beautiful bride. This always goes down well with the wedding guests who have made such an effort to be there.
This is an opportunity to praise family members and close friends and throw in anecdotes to show your audience what they mean to you. Even if they didn’t directly help me with the wedding, they still played an important part in my life as a whole.
The important points to remember
- Thank the Father of the Bride
- Thank those who have helped organize and plan the event
- Thank the Maid of Honor who has helped your wife through the day
- Thank your Bestman
- Thank your new bride for marrying you!
- Thank the Guests
Remember that the day and your groom wedding speech should be about the love for your bride and the joy you feel of having all your family and friends around. {It really is about keeping every one of the wedding guests happy. And by finishing with a perfect groom toast to your new bride, it shouln’t be that difficult!Even though I was really nervous about my groom wedding speech, it didn’t take me long to realise that it isn’t too hard to please everybody if you’re careful}!
