Finding Unique Examples
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
• The feelings of your big day
• Funny anecdotes or Jokes
• Your bride’s personality
• Ways of getting the audience involved
These are just some of the elements that the wedding speech examples I found included. However, I thought I would include the following as well, as there is a bit more detail to the prompts:
- 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 and compliment your wifes parents
- 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 brides maids and maid of honor. Say what a great job they have done – present gifts
- 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.
