The Grooms Speech

It may sound obvious, but your grooms wedding speech is not an opportunity to say what you want – 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

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 groom wedding speech!

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? This doen’t mean you can’t have a joke or two up your sleeve! Click here to learn more: Grooms Speech.

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, and is a great for all of those who have made such an effort to be there on your big day.

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 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 lovely new wife!
• And don’t forget to 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}!
