Unfortunately the groom wedding speech isn’t a completely free piece of writing – It is there as a way to make sure you don’t leave anyone out. It took me a while to come to terms with this, but beleive me, it really does make your groom’s speech easier and it is meant to be a way to keep all of your guests happy as well as create an atmoshere for the perfect wedding day!
Thank The Right Guests
Generally you should make sure you thank everyone for turning up and anyone resonsible for getting you there on time. Whether that was my lovely bride, my best man, everyone who gave me advice – I made sure to thank them. And don’t forget the father of the bride!
As a side note – did you know that the grooms speech is the most formal of all the wedding speeches? This doen’t mean you can’t have a joke or two up your sleeve! Click here to learn more: Grooms Wedding Speeches.
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.
Next, I will try to add in anecdotes or praise of my family as it is a good opportunity to show the special people in your life 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.
Here is a quick summary
- Thank the Bride’s father for proposing the toast
- Thank Individuals
- Thank the Bridesmaids
- Thank the groomsmen and the Best Man
- Thank your lovely new wife!
