Considering what you are going to say for your grooms speech has been in your nightmares ever since you proposed to your bride, a few simple guidelines will ensure that nobody takes your thunder at speech time. Your visitors want to hear you talk from the heart ; they want to hear a sincere, well spoken and sometimes funny married man. The tone of the groom’s speech should fall between the bride’s father and the best mans. The brides fathers speech will be more serious and everybody expects that the best mans speech will have many humorous and slightly embarrassing stories.
It is accepted that the grooms’ speech is to honor and thank everyone that has attended or helped in preparing the marriage, but you don’t want to make it sound like a dull checklist. Although your speech will be prepared in advance, it is vital to pay attention to the bride’s father’s speech and to follow on from there. Before starting your speech make sure that you know where your videographer who is shooting your wedding video is positioned and every now and then talk to the camera, it will come across great in the final production.
The first respect and thanks should be given to both sets of mums and dads at the head table by giving the bride’s family the utmost respect and thanks for everything that they have done in helping arrange the marriage. Thank them for their kind words and for toasting your marriage. It’s also expected for the groom to thank the bride’s parents for welcoming him into their family and for accepting his bride’s choice of him as her husband. This is the time that you must also reassure them of your utmost attention to their daughter and give examples of why you are madly in love with her. Paying special attention to her personality and character traits and only slightly dwelling on her appearance will endear you to the whole audience.
Next you must give special thanks to your own parents, for everything that they have done in the past and present to permit you the opportunity of standing there. Although all parents know that their children love them it’s critical to actually say it in this part of the speech, simply make certain that tissues are handy for your mother at this point.
The following part of your speech should be concentrated on the guests. Give a general thanks to everyone for attending the marriage and sharing in your special day. It is not critical to thank each guest individually, but if there are a few guests that have made an additional effort to attend by traveling a long distance, then it is expected to give special thanks by naming them personally.
The marriage party is the next group to be thanked. The best man, maid of honor, ring bearer and brides maids should all be introduced by name and a mention of their support throughout the wedding planning should be highlighted as each member of the party is introduced. The groom should give a special thanks to his best man. A funny, but suitable story should be shared and some explanation as to why you chose him as your beast man and why your closeness is so significant should be included.
Lastlly the groom should turn to his new bride and tell her how much he loves and adores her, telling her how much he’s looking forward to spending the remainder of his life with her. Most significantly, thank her for saying yes when you proposed. The groom’s speech is designed to be from the heart, so if at this stage it sounds really emotional, so be it. Share some stories about how you met and when you knew she was the one for you.
If your bride is not going to give her very own speech, where she would thank her bridesmaids and maid of honor, then traditionally the groom’s speech should end with a toast to the maid of honor and the bridesmaids.
