The Groom’s Wedding Speech

Sunday, December 27th, 2009 at 4:07 pm

Unfortunately the groom wedding speech isn’t a completely free piece of writing – No unfortunately, it requires structure to ensure you don’t forget to mention anyone. 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 Speach.

Mentioning Your Bride and Family

You should mention how you met (even though everyone has heard it a thousand times!). This always goes down well with the wedding guests who have made such an effort to be there.

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.

The important points to remember

Thank the Father of the Bride
Thank Individuals
Thank the Maid of Honor who has helped your wife through the day
Thank your Bestman
Thank your lovely new wife!
Thank the Guests

Remember, your wedding day is about the love for your bride, but it’s also about having family and friends around you. {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}!
