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!

Thanking The Right People

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 Speaches.

Don’t Forget The Bride!

You should mention how you met (even though everyone has heard it a thousand times!). 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.

This is an opportunity to praise family members and close friends and throw in anecdotes to show your audience what they mean to you. They may not have had a direct part in the wedding but they may have played a special part in your life.

• Thank the Bride’s father for proposing the toast
