Speeches features a selection of useful tips on preparing and delivering a memorable wedding speech. With sample speeches and advice for the bride, bride's father, groom and best man
How to write a wedding speech provides foundations for the father of the bride, groom, best man, bride and bridesmaids to create personalised speeches for their special occasions.

Introduction
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 - in front of everybody you know. Daunted? Don't be… everybody is there because they want to be. They've chosen to spend their free time watching you marry the woman you love and, for once, the focus is not her dress but you. Enjoy it, let them see how gorgeous you look and how lovely you are - it's all in the words and that's why we're here to help you have a stress-free day.

You may want to add in some speech games or a love poem which you will find in our Love Poems and Readings section. If you are wondering how to incorporate a deceased relative within your speech, check out our Gone But Not Forgotten article.

Where To Start
So, what is expected of the groom?

The first task you have is to thank your new father-in-law for his speech and for his beautiful daughter.
Thank the guests for sharing your day and for their generous gifts.
Thank both sets of parents for their help with your wedding.
Give a small gift to the two mothers. For some suggestions, see our article on Gifts for the Bridal Party.
Compliment your new wife!
Thank the Best Man for his help and give gifts to him and the rest of the bridal party.
Raise a glass and offer a toast to the bridesmaids.
