Groom Speech Examples to Help You Along
Monday, February 1st, 2010Groom speech examples are something I never considered until I started to panic in the last few days before the wedding. However, with a bit of research you can find them easily enough and they can be very useful in writing your own groom speech. Click here to learn more: Groom Wedding Speech Examples.
What’s In An Example?
The great thing about many groom wedding speech examples is that they are designed to let you fill in the blanks and still create a totally unique wedding speech. I have found they work best by giving example layouts and prompts as follows:
• Who to thank
• Stories you can tell
• Your feelings for your bride
• Funny anecdotes or Jokes
• Your bride’s personality
• Involving the guests by thanking them individually
These are just some of the elements that the wedding speech examples I found included. However, here is a further prompt list of what to say:
- Start with “On behalf of my wife and I”…
- Thank the guests for joining you on this special day and for their gifts and support
- Thank the brides parents for their daughter and say that you will look after her well – present thier gifts
- Thank your parents for being there and putting up with you all those years – present their gifts
- Thank the best man for being a freind all these years and how much he has helped (tell a joke if appropriate)!
- Thank Bride – Your chance to publically declare your love and freindship
- Thank the bridesmaids and maid of honor
- Propose a toast to the bridesmaids before handing over to the best man
Though I had read in many places what successful elements grooms wedding speeches should include, having them there in an ordered layout meant I couldn’t go wrong. What you will also find with these examples is that they help you stick to the point and stop anyone nodding off!. But don’t rush your speech either, it’s your day too. Just don’t dwell one topic for too long.
