Content

The Groom’s speech can be summed up in two words – Thank you.

  • Thank you to the first speaker for his kind words, best wishes, and for the toast to the bride and groom.
  • Thank you to the bride’s parents for producing such a beautiful girl.
  • Thank you to his parents for their love, kindness and support.
  • Thank you to the bride for agreeing to marry him, often followed by an amusing story about when they were going out.
  • A declaration of love for the bride and a promise to do all he can to ensure her future happiness.
  • Thank you to anyone who has done something special for the wedding.
  • Thank you to the guests for attending and for all their presents.
  • Thank you to the best man and the ushers for their help.
  • Thank you to the bridesmaids for assisting the bride and a comment on how beautiful they look.
  • A toast to the bridesmaids.

Do’s

  • Stay sober and avoid the temptation of a little “Dutch courage”.
  • Rehearse your speech before hand - several times.
  • Remember to take your cue cards with you to the wedding.

Don’ts

  • Forget to thank anyone who went out of their way to do something for the wedding.
  • Be afraid to declare your love for the bride publicly. It is the reason everyone is at the wedding, so there is no need to be embarrassed about expressing your love.
  • Speak for more than five minutes or you risk boring your audience.
