A WEDDING SPEECH IS EASY!

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 long time to realise, but basically it’s about keeping everyone happy to ensure your wedding day goes perfectly!
Thanking The Right People
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. 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 groom wedding speech! He will often have something to say about you, so it pays to have something positive to say about them. Always thank him first and foremost before continuing with the rest of the speech.
Mentioning Your Family
Even though I had told the story a million times, I thought it best to start my grooms speech with a story about how I met my beautiful bride. This always goes down well, and is a great crowd-pleaser 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. After all, this is an important occasion and probably your best chance 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.
Remember, your wedding day is about the love for your bride, but it’s also about having family and friends around you. 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!

I always knew that when my fiancé and I decided to get married I would have to write a groom wedding speech, but I never knew how important that speech was going to be! The truth is that I left it for weeks and weeks before I even realised that I was going to have to get down to it and actually write the thing.
My advice about that? Don’t make the same mistake I did. Plan ahead if you can!
When you first start thinking about your groom speech it can seem like a really challenging task. After all, there is already so much going into standing up in front of everyone and saying those vows, standing up again and making a speech is pretty nerve-wracking!
As the date got closer and closer I tried to think of an inspirational, yet charming and hilarious groom’s wedding speech and it just wasn’t coming to me. So what I eventually decided to do was to sit down and just write some of the thoughts that popped into my head.
Now, believe me when I say that there are more efficient ways to plan a groom wedding toast, but this was great for kick starting my ideas.
At first it was difficult, but when I started using speech prompts and guides I soon started to jot down little bits of information about me and my bride. Where we met, how long we’ve been together, some of our most memorable moments – things like that. It really helped me to put into words the story of our relationship and what we’ve been through to get where we are now.
At this stage I think it’s best not to worry about the order or the content of what you’re writing (or any wedding speech jokes!) The biggest block to getting the perfect wedding speech is never actually starting to write it! So by jotting down my thoughts I was already over the first major hurdle for my groom wedding speech.
