Grooms Wedding Speeches - Would You Like Some Help?... 

You will say the most important words of the day, if not your life, when you say "I do".  

Now it’s your chance to thank everybody and tell your bride how much you love her and in front of all your family and friends.

Daunted?  Don’t be – everybody is there because they want to be.  They‘ve chosen to spend their free time watching you marry the women you love, and, for once, the focus is not on her dress, but on you.

Remember that if your bride is not going to give a speech, all your words should be from both of you.  Make this clear throughout your speech; you don’t want to just include your new wife in a single section of it as if you’d only just remembered her at the last minute.

Oh, and beginning your speech with, “My wife and I …’ usually provokes an immediate audience reaction.

The groom’s speech is the place to thank everyone who has helped to make the day special and to thank the guests for gifts on behalf of yourself and your new wife.

Your speech is also where the groom gets to say something lovely about the bride.  Often too, you’ll make a last-minute comedy plea for mercy from the best man.

If you feel up to it, you can also introduce some funny stories – but make them touching rather than too risqué.  Don’t use these stories as an excuse not to say what you feel about your wife.

You’ll probably want to say something about how you met, about how your relationship developed, perhaps something about love and marriage.

Many grooms find it difficult to speak about their feelings so publicly, but a few brief words, spoken from the heat, is all it takes.   Quoting a poem or a song lyric to help you express how you feel is perfectly acceptable.
