However, most wedding speakers don’t harness its full potential.  Worse still, the overwhelming majority do a terrible copy and paste job without figuring out what went into creating those literary masterpieces.

 

Well, I would like to show you a well-written example. Afterward, we will break it down step by step with useful examples and anecdotes so you can model your wedding toast after the best groom speech samples and examples out there.

 

Ok…let’s start. There are two kinds of groom speech examples or samples:

  • Video examples
  • Written examples

 

If you have never made a groom speech before or have no idea how to get started, then it’s best to watch a few clips before you jot down your ideas. So, get a notepad and pen handy and write down what you really admire about this speech.

 

Here they are….click play and enjoy!

 

 

 



Now, let’s look at the second option: well-written groom speech examples

 

Here you go:

 

A Groom Wedding Speech or Toast Example

I would like to share with you a royal groom speech Prince Daniel delivered when he got married to Princess Victoria in Sweden.

 

Here is a transcription/translation of the speech he gave, where he refers to his love for Victoria, and his sense of responsibility for the duties that lie ahead.

 

Your Majesties,
Your Imperial Highness,
Your Royal Highnesses,
Excellencies.
Ladies and Gentlemen,
Dear family and friends.

Dear Victoria. Crown Princess Victoria. Princess of Sweden. Princess of my heart.

 

Nine years ago I had the privilege to get to know a young woman with a great sense of humour, a strong sense of duty, and on top of that great wisdom. We became friends, but the more I got to know her, the more irresistible she became.

 

These years with you Victoria have flown by, they have been the best years of my life. There have been times when Victoria's official duties have separated us. Often taking her to far away countries and continents. I will never forget some years ago when she left for one of her many trips. This time to China.

 

We were going to be apart for a whole month. The night before she left, she got home late after an official engagement and she had many preparations to make for the long month ahead. Instead of getting some valuable sleep, she stayed up the whole night, writing.

 

In the morning, after she had gone, I found a box, and in that box I found 30 beautiful letters, all addressed to me. One for every day she would be away. This romantic gesture is so typical of you, Victoria. It says everything about the loving person you are.

 

Once upon a time, the young man was perhaps not a frog in the beginning of the fairytale first told by the Grimm brothers, but he was certainly not a prince. The first kiss did not change that.

 

His transformation was not possible without the support of the wise King and Queen, who had ruled the kingdom for many years, and who were full of wisdom, experience and had good hearts. They knew what was best, and guided the couple with a gentle hand, generously sharing all their valuable experience.

 

I feel a great sense of gratitude towards Your Majesties, the king and queen, for your whole-hearted support and the way you have welcomed me into your family. My thoughts are of course also with my own family, to my mother and father, my sister and her daughters.

 

Mother and father. Throughout my childhood you gave me your unconditional love. You have helped me with your wisdom, and helped me build a good sense of self-confidence and security, through healthy values which have guided me through my life.

 

When we passed through the streets of Stockholm today we were met by such joy and warmth, a memory we will take with us forever. During the years Victoria and I have been together, I have felt a huge sense of support from the people I have met. That has been very important to me. Thank you.

 

I feel great respect for the duties that await me. It will no doubt be a big challenge. I will do my best to live up to the expectations placed on my shoulders. I will do my best to support my wife, Sweden's Crown Princess, in her important role.

 

Dearest Victoria. I'm so proud of what we have together. I'm so happy to have become your husband. I'm going to do everything I can to make sure you stay as happy as you are today.

Victoria, love is the greatest thing of them all, I love you so much.

That’s a great piece, right? I laughed out loud when he said this: ‘’ … the young man was perhaps not a frog in the beginning of the fairytale...’’

 

We are about to start with our analysis of the above groom speech examples. But before we do that, I would like to draw your attention to a few things you should carefully consider as we review it together.

  • Make sure you're not distracted in any way since you need a great deal of concentration to get your creative juices flowing.

 

For example, you could study it at a dawn; very early in the morning, or at any time you're mentally alert. You can also slowly read through it a second and maybe a third time.



As you do that, you should carefully weigh the style and structure of the speech. You have to pick a style that suits your personality. For instance, if you are a hilarious figure, then a hilarious groom speech can be your thing.


The next on the list is the structure. The structure essential comprises the introduction of your groom's speech, body, and conclusion (toast).

 

Groom speech examples

 

And that brings us to the next item on the list:

How to write a great groom speech with good examples

 

When we read that example once again, you will realize that it has three main parts. Do you know what they are? If you are looking for the answers, then scroll up this page and you will find all three sections bolded and underlined.

 

If you are wondering what they are, then here they are:

  • Introductory remarks
  • Body or outline of your speech
  • The conclusion or closing remarks

 

Let’s first look at the opening remarks. Your introduction should capture the attention of the wedding guests right from the start.

 

Let's just see how it's captured in that royal wedding speech.

‘’ Your Majesties,
Your Imperial Highness,
Your Royal Highnesses,
Excellencies.
Ladies and Gentlemen,
Dear family and friends.

Dear Victoria. Crown Princess Victoria. Princess of Sweden. Princess of my heart.

Nine years ago I had the privilege to get to know a young woman with a great sense of humour, a strong sense of duty, and on top of that great wisdom. We became friends, but the more I got to know her, the more irresistible she became. ‘’

 

On the surface of things, It looks like anyone can put that(or something similar) together with remarkable ease. But there’s more to this than meets the eye. You see, if you read through those few lines you will notice that the introduction has two elements:

  • Greetings
  • Opening remarks

 

Comments and suggestions: It makes a lot of sense to let everyone know who you are and your relationship with the bride.  Then, you can thank some personalities who have contributed to shaping your life. You can thank people like:

  • Your mom and dad
  • Your aunts and uncles
  • Your best man
  • Your grandmom and granddad
  • Your own siblings
  • The mom and dad of the bride

 

It goes on and on…

 

To illustrate, I have culled a few words of gratitude (from the example above) by the groom to his parents for their love and support.

 

To my parents – Ed & Martha - first of all thank you for being a

wonderful example of love and fun in a relationship! I want to thank you

also for instilling confidence in me as a child so that I’d have the conviction

to find a woman who is willing to cook and take care of me!

And a huge thank you for helping us afford to

feed everyone tonight!! Thank you so much for everything…I love you with my whole heart.

 

That’s easy to compose, right? That’s just one side of the introduction. Another part of the coin has to do with the hook. The hook should do a great job of arousing interest in your wedding toast so that the wedding crowd would crave for more.

 

Here’s the hook in that example:

‘’Nine years ago I had the privilege to get to know a young woman with a great sense of humour, a strong sense of duty, and on top of that great wisdom. We became friends, but the more I got to know her, the more irresistible she became’’

 

Did you see how the writer started with a story? That’s just one way of starting your groom speech on a great note. But there are other simple but proven ways of generating excitement for the content of your groom speech.

 

Here are a few tips that can help you start with a bang.

  • You can start with a story (like the one we looked at) that highlights how you met the bride.

Groom speech examples

  • You can start with a quote if you want to touch heartstrings. You can probably make an emotional or romantic groom wedding toast. Here’s a great note you can use:

 

‘’Once in a while, right in the middle of an ordinary life, love binds two lives and hearts together and makes them feel a sense of completeness. ‘’

 

Here’s how I would make the most out of that quote...Please read it carefully…

 

Once in a while, right in the middle of an ordinary life, love binds two lives and hearts together and makes them feel a sense of completeness.

That’s exactly what Wendy and I have experienced when we became best friends…’’

 

Did you see how I weaved that into the extract ? That’s not the only quote you can work into your own speech. You can make also use of one or more of the following lines to get things off the ground.

  • "The secret of a happy marriage is finding the right person. You know they’re right if you love to be with them all the time." — Julia Child
  • "The best use of life is love. The best expression of love is time. The best time to love is now." — Rick Warren
  • "There is no more lovely, friendly, and charming relationship, communion or company than a good marriage." — Martin Luther
  • "You don't marry the person you can live with—you marry the person you can't live without." — Unknown
  • "Keep your eyes wide open before marriage, half shut afterwards." — Benjamin Franklin

 

The following example can probably enlighten you on the possibilities of using one-liners to write captivating opening remarks.

 

‘’ Here we go!


A wiseman once said that there’s nothing more lovely and charming than being in a good marriage. My parents had a wonderful marriage before dad passed on. I admired their love and respect for each other. So, whenever I thought of getting married, I somehow wished I would be luckier like my mom and dad.

In my sophomore year in College, Mike my best man introduced to Emily…

 

Did you notice how I managed to weave Martin Luther’s words of wisdom(see underlined words above) into this short example? That’s exactly how it is done. You can even do better than I did if you just give it a try.

Now,

Let’s See How To Create An Outline For Your Message

 

The body comes after the introduction and you have to make sure you give a vivid account of how you first meet the bride as well as how your  relationship has evolved over the years. Now, let’s ponder these questions and write down your answers next to each question.

  • Where did you meet the bride?
  • How did you first meet the bride?
  • How did you feel the first time you met her?
  • How hooked both of you up?
  • What charmed you most when you first met her?
  • How did your friendship evolve?
  • Do you have fond memories you wish to share with the guests?
  • How do you complement each other?
  • Do you remember how you went down on one knee and popped the question?
  • How has she helped make you a better person?

 

Those questions are useful pointers to help you craft the body of your speech. So, just relax and think through them for a while and then use your answers to come up with a rough draft. Then, go back and work on it and keep refining it until you have a good draft. You may later review it or let another pair of eyes review it.

 

Now, let us look at...

How To Write The Conclusion Of Your Groom Speech

Again, we are going to take inspiration from the groom speech example at the  outset of this post.

Comment on how beautiful your wife looks and why she is your bone of bone and flesh of flesh.

  • Share your optimism and plans for your future. (Don’t reveal many details here)
    Say thank you to your best man, maid of honor, florists, preacher, and so on.

Funny Wedding Speeches-How to get the audience a million laughs-even if you are not a funny person.

  Banner 1

For funny people and non-funny people: Here's how to do it right- even if you have never made someone laugh all your lifetime!

Father of the bride wedding speech funny

Giving  funny wedding speeches is one way of making one’s wedding speech very memorable. If you have ever been to a wedding where the speaker brought the house down, then, it’s  because the speech giver skillfully  laced his presentation with humor.

In a bid to tickle the laughing bone of the wedding guests, some wedding speakers  bring undue pressure and anxiety on themselves by forcing themselves to give funny wedding speeches, and they fail to live up to expectation in the end.

To give a hilarious wedding speech that will get you a standing ovation, you should first consider if you will be comfortable cracking jokes before an audience. If you cringe at the thought of facing the audience in this regard, then you should select another type of speech.

The truth is that, you don’t need the magical touch of ace British comedian Mr.Bean or even Funny Bill Cosby to stir up the audience.

Banner 4

Recalling  from your , amusing anecdotes’ about the couple can light up the faces of the two love birds and the guests.You might also decide to do something sentimental, narrative or  pay a tribute to someone who helped raised  either the groom or bride if  funny speeches are not your cup of tea.

For instance,Prince Williams,Lady Diana’s son,paid a special tribute to her mum in his wedding speech.Avoid humorous  wedding speech at all costs if you don’t have the guts for it.If you do,then you are on to something  memorable.

Your hilarious speech should do way with commenting about previous or failed relationships.If you do,you will only be embarrassing the couple. Also, don’t mention political subjects and sex jokes.

Now, let me give you some tips on how to get the audience laughing without being stand-up comedian.

First, you can use the person’s weaknesses or strength as a person to poke fun. Here’s an example of a speech I wrote sometime ago

Dan is a man of great wit, charm and talent. Despite his brilliance, he hasn’t invented even a pin. The only thing he could do was to write a love note to Sheila. He tells me it took three long months to write it because he just couldn’t find a dictionary which could help him express his feelings for the charming Sheila.

Also, he decided to join the athlete team to impress Sheila when they first started dating, but as he was training at the country side, he fell from a horse and sprained his leg.Hey…Danny, you shouldn’t have done because Sheila would have gone crazy if you hadn’t been able to walk again.

This note should be accompanied by gestures and pitch variety so that its impact is felt)

How about this one?

'' Sheila, Dan is very calm and caring but he is generous to a fault. He doesn’t mind using money meant for the bills to take care of someone he is deeply in love with. So anytime you need sometime from him, just let the tears roll down and when he asks what’s wrong?

Just tell him you need a new car and he will use his entire savings to get you something hot. Did i say entire savings?''

Banner 2

Secondly, you can begin your wedding speech with a funny quotation. E.g."Before marriage, a man declares that he would lay down his life to serve you; after marriage, he won't even lay down his newspaper to talk to you." - Helen Rowland

The quote above should be tied to the message of your funny wedding speech.You shouldn't even bother to say who inspired it.

Mother Of The Bride Speech Samples And Examples And How To Use Them To Put Together A Memorable Wedding Speech For Your Daughter On Her Wedding Day

Writing a mother of the bride speech does come with a flood of emotions. For one part, you are super excited about making your daughter proud with your toast. But, another part of you seems to wonder what it is like to make an amazing mother of the bride wedding speech.

 

Days would go by and the lingering question on your mind would be: What Should A Mother Of The Bride Say At Her Daughter’s Wedding?

 

Well, you are not alone. Most mothers face this dilemma when they are asked by their daughters to deliver some remarks on their big day.

If you are struggling to string your thoughts and ideas together masterfully to create a short and sweet mother of the bride speech, then you need to pay attention because I will share you:

  • Proven tips and ideas to write a mother of the bride speech
  • How you can model your speech after well-written mother of the bride speech examples and samples
  • What to say and what not to say at your daughter’s wedding reception, rehearsal dinner or bridal shower

 

Before, we look at how to start writing your mother of the speech, let’s first look at this quote:

 

''A mother’s love lasts forever'', says a renowned philosopher

A Mother's love is something that no one can explain,
It is made of deep devotion and of sacrifice and pain,
It is endless and unselfish and enduring come what may
For nothing can destroy it or take that love away''- Helen Steiner Ricet

 

Mother of the bride speech for daughter

 

Does that quote really speak to your heart? I hope so. Helen’s quote reminds me of the love mothers have for their daughters and children and makes me think that writing a truly unique mother of the bride speech is a labor of love.  

 

In spite of most mothers love for their daughters, the overwhelming majority fail to give their mother of the bride speeches in a very touching way  and I can’t put the blame on anyone because most moms are not gifted with words and they have to really try so hard to find the good and inspiring words that will make their daughter's proud.

 

 

Guess what can help you get rid of the guesswork that comes with writing an amazing mother of the bride speech? The correct answer comes next if you have no idea what it is.

Mother Of The Bride Speech Example/Template

 

Good evening and welcome, everyone.

I’m Alberta, Eugenia’s mom and it gives me great joy and honor to see the smiling faces of so many people who love and cherish my daughter and the entire family.

 

We have waited for months for this special time and would like to thank everyone, who has come from far and near to share in our joy and happiness.

Twenty-six (26) years ago, when Eugenia, our precious little gem was born, we were the proudest parents on earth.

 

Watching her grow and mature like a flower in bloom as the years whizzed by was my greatest joy ever.

 

I still remember her first day in school when she got off the car and run to her class and held the hand of her teacher as though she had known her, her whole life and even called her Aunt Six.

 

I later got to know she called by her that name because the first thing when she entered the class was the number 6 written boldly on the chalkboard and thought that was her name. That teacher later became known as Mrs. 6 throughout the school and she loved every bit of it.  

 

 

Today, I stand here in front of you today, the proudest mom that ever lived because she’s made me so proud every step of the way. Eugenia, being your mom is a joy and privilege and I want you to know I love you so much.

 

But, it’s always been my hope and prayer that you would find someone to love and care for the rest of your life. When Dan walked into your life, I knew you had met the man of your dreams and I’m so excited that you’re getting married today.

 

And to you Dan, we are so thankful that you brought her to the altar. We are blessed that you now are a part of our family and we know you’re going to be an amazing dad.

 

MARRIAGE ADVICE AND BEST WISHES

Dan and Eugenia, you’re a very beautiful couple. You both were made to experience each other’s love so you can be truly blessed.

As you start life, always love each other, put each other’s needs first, and always work as a team and you will have a long, happy life together.

 

My wish for you both is throughout your life together; you will walk hand in hand no matter the storms you face.

God bless you and I wish you the very best.

 

M2 (1)

 

Did you enjoy reading it? I did! I chuckled when I read this part: ''called her Aunt Six. I later got to know she called by her that name because she saw the number 6 on the chalkboard.''

 

How To Make The Most Of Mother Of The Bride Speech Examples And Samples

 

Now, let us see how to make the most of it. This is what I recommend you do. You may scroll up this page and read through that short example slowly once more and make brief notes.

You may give it a second and even a third read and put down ideas you feel you want to use for your own speech without copying it word for word.

 

Doing that will implant the content into your subconscious mind, the style and structure of that mother of the bride speech, and yours will naturally flow when you eventually decide to write your own script.

Wedding speech for brides mom

Next, you have to determine the theme of your speech. To identify your theme, you should recollect memories of the great times you and your daughter have shared and put down as many ideas you can remember.

 

Memories like these can make your mother speech to your daughter and son-in-law very heartfelt.  You may find it very helpful to write down your answers to each question to guide you every step of the way.

 

  • How did you feel when she was born?
  • Put down childhood memories or what she was like when she was a little girl?
  • Next, write down funny memories you still recall
  • What were her teenage years like?
  • If she has certain accomplishments, and you feel like including it, please feel free to add it without sounding very boastful or arrogant…you may avoid it if you don’t want to brag and focus rather on the beautiful qualities that you believe will make her an amazing wife and mom…you may avoid it if you don’t want to brag and focus more on the beautiful qualities that you believe will make her an amazing wife and mom

 

I can remember that I once asked a mother of the bride if she wanted to include at least three of her daughter's key accomplishments. 

 

Well, another mom objected to that even though her daughter was a force to reckon with in school and outside of the classroom.

 

Well, if you’re the ''quiet'' type but still want to adopt the latter approach, then you can put it this way if you don't want to gloat over your daughter’s achievements and it will be just fine.

 

Wedding speech by mother of the bride

 

Here’s how to simply say it.

''By dint of hard work and dedication, Mary accomplished so much wherever she found herself and brought such joy to hearts...Mary, we are so proud of you and thus far you have come down the road''

 

Do you notice how I said that without drawing attention to her sterling credentials?

 

While there’s nothing wrong with adding her personal details, I personally feel that the mom of the bride wedding speech should be a tool for highlighting the unique attributes or character of your daughter because that’s what the guests want to hear from you and not a catalog of accomplishments per se.

 

The ideas you have penned down in response to those questions(earlier) asked above will help you not only put your message together but it will also provide a clear direction for your speech as you begin to put your thoughts together in a logical and coherent manner.

Again, you've to get a style for your speech because the above speech example is in the voice of another writer. It is wrong to copy the speaking style of a famous figure you admire since your speech will not sound authentic. Other styles to choose from are emotional, witty, sarcasm, narrative, dramatic, or a blend of two or more styles.



''What kind of person am I?---Am I funny, thoughtful or sentimental.''

 

For example, if you are a funny person, then a humorous speech for your daughter will be your best course of action. Here's a short example that illustrates what I just said. 

 

 

It is wrong to copy the speaking style of a famous figure you admire since your speech will not sound authentic. Other styles to choose from are emotional, witty, sarcasm, narrative, dramatic, or a blend of these or more styles.

 

With all that being said, let’s see how to write a touching mother of the bride speech from the mother of the bride speech example we saw at the outset.

 

Let us look at portions of the introduction to guide us along the way.

 ''Good evening and welcome everyone. I’m Alberta, Eugenia’s mom and it gives me great joy and honor to see the smiling faces of so many people who love and cherish my daughter and the entire family. ''

 

After you have got all your facts right and ready, you should start writing your mother of the bride speech. You should commence with an introduction-opener since it has the power to break the ice and engage the wedding guests on a personal level.

                                                                Speech for my daughter on her weddding day
                             

 

 The opening remarks should have the following elements:

  • a short self-presentation while stating your relationship to the bride and groom. Don’t assume everyone knows who you...besides, mother of the bride speech etiquette demands you do so….

 

Here’s how to get it done.

 

''For those of you who are not lucky enough to know me, I am Susie, the mom of the bride''

 

  • greetings and expression of gratitude

 

If you want to make your speech hilarious, you can start by saying: ''Hello and if you are wondering who this woman is, then I am the lovely mom of the bride, and right by my side is my husband who happens to be my only loving, supportive and permanent boyfriend of the last 30 years! ''

 

Please note: If your husband or the father of the bride is deceased, you may mention it and pay special tribute to him if you want to. Though I personally don’t subscribe to that, most mothers I have worked with before are comfortable with this approach. If you think you might break down in tears, then you don't have to do it. 

However, if you raise your daughter as a single mom or parent, don’t use your speech for settling personal scores no matter how hurt you are. Rather, use it as a platform for healing and peace since weddings are meant to unite and bring people together in love.

 

Well, if you are a happy couple and have been married for a very long time, then it’s best to do a joint father and mother of the bride wedding speech and your speech will be unique and memorable.

 

Next on the bill is…

How To Get Content Ideas For Your Mother Of The Bride Speech

 

Once again, here are excerpts of the mother of the bride speech sample to steer us in the right direction.

 

''Twenty-six (26) years ago, when Eugenia, our precious little gem was born, we were the proudest parents on earth.

Watching her grow and mature like a flower in bloom as the years whizzed by was my greatest joy ever.  I still remember her first day in school when she got off the car and run to her class and held the hand of her teacher as though she had known her, her whole life and called her Aunt Six''

 

After coming up with stories from her childhood through adulthood, you have to pick one or two that speaks to your heart and use it to drive your points home.

 

Other things to add to your storyline include:

  • Why you are happy that she’s getting married

Then, you can go ahead to put down some ideas about the groom. Ideas like

  • Your first impressions of him
  • His admirable traits
  • Why he’s a lucky guy
  • An anecdote about him you find amusing

 

Here's an example of what to say about the groom

 

Amanda, you are so lucky to have such a loyal friend. And besides that, he’s a smart guy! While I’m singing his praises, let me add that he is thoughtful, polite, respectful towards the elderly,  and a problem-solver of the highest order.

Perhaps best of all, he’s very easy on the eyes, isn’t he? I’m pretty sure my daughter thinks so! I think they look darn good together, and I’m betting that Amanda has put in an order for their first child (someday) to look like Angel!

Mother of the bride speech examples

Now, let’s see…

How To Write A Memorable Conclusion As We Saw In Our Template. 

 

Here are Alberta’s closing remarks:

 

''My wish for you both is throughout your life together; you will walk hand in hand no matter the storms you face. God bless you and I wish you the very best.'' 

 

Even though that was a piece of short advice interspersed with best-wishes, there are a couple of other ways of closing with a bang.

 

  • You may share any marital advice you have for the bridal couple

Here’s an example:

 

‘‘A best friend is someone you laugh with, dream with, and love with all your heart. From this moment on, you are eternal partners and you’re responsible for each other’s happiness”

 

  • Then, you can add what your hopes and dreams are for them  as they start a life together or simply add your well-wishes as I showed you in that sample

 

Here are a few best-wishes you may use

I hope you enjoy all of the pleasures that togetherness brings in life. May your life hereafter be filled with happiness and delights. God bless you

- As this journey of yours begins, I wish you a life full of happiness and love. May every day you spend together, be even better than the previous one. Congratulations!

- May the bond you share as husband and wife grow stronger each day the two of you spend together. Congratulations!

- As the season's change and the cycle of coldness and warmth continue through the years. May your household grow bigger and your love grow stronger.

-Wishing you lots of love and happiness together. May every day of your life hereafter hold wonderful shared experiences.

  • If you are a Christian or a devoted believer, you can use a few bible verses to enrich your mother of the bride speech closing remarks. You may use this one from I Corinthians 13: 1-8

If I speak in the tongues[a] of men or of angels, but do not have love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. 

If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing. If I give all I possess to the poor and give over my body to hardship that I may boast,[b] but do not have love, I gain nothing.

Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.

Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away. 9

 

Don’t also forget about your toast. It’s so important that you end your speech by proposing a toast to the bride and groom and wish them the very best for their future together.

You may use one of these quotes to make your conclusion memorable:

 

“May your love be like the misty rain, gentle coming in but flooding the river.” – Traditional African Blessing

“May the road rise up to meet you, May the wind be always at your back, The sunshine warm upon your face, The rain fall soft upon your fields, And until we meet again, May God hold you in the hollow of His hand.”– Irish blessing

“May their joys be as deep as the ocean, And their misfortunes as light as the foam.” – Armenian Blessing

‘’Love is blind — marriage is the eye-opener.” – Pauline Thomason

“A good marriage is like a casserole, only those responsible for it really know what goes in it.” – Anonymous

“A successful marriage requires falling in love many times, always with the same person.” – Mignon McLaughlin

Let me ask you this: Which of those quotes can you use to write your wedding toast for your daughter and son-in-law? It’s not too hard. Just give it a try.

Additionally, you may use this poem to close on a strong note.

I want to be your friend
Forever and ever without break or decay.
When the hills are all flat
And the rivers are all dry,
When it lightens and thunders in winter,
When it rains and snows in summer,
When Heaven and Earth mingle
Not 'til then will I part from you.

Anonymous, China, 1st Century BC

Mother of the groom speech sample: Mistakes many mothers make when using mother of the groom speech examples and how to turn things around for good so you can give the best speech ever

 

M5

 


 

Investing in mother of the groom samples examples) is a wise decision a mother who really cares about the words she will use at her son’s wedding ceremony would ever make.  Why?  Wedding speeches for mother of the groom

                   

That’s because proven mother speech examples can help you come up with a memorable presentation in less time without worrying so much about how to write your speech.

 


Granted, you need to know how to fully maximize them without copying the examples you’d find exactly since they are in another speaker’s voice and style.

 

The material should help you write your speech and so it should be used as a guide instead.

 

The Right Way To Use Speech Examples To Write A Great Speech

 

In order to get the best out of them, you should dedicate some time to study how the example you've got was written. The purpose of doing this is to get the contents into your subconscious mind.

 

If you don’t have one, don’t worry because you can watch videos like the one below to get some ideas and phrases you can use for your own speech.

 

 

The purpose of reading speech samples over and over again or re-watching that clip is to get acquainted with how mother speeches are given so they kind of get ingrained in your subconscious mind.

 

When the content is firmly implanted there, your brain will process it and show you how to go about things when you eventually start to put your scattered thoughts together to form a very logical and coherent presentation.

 

What should you include in your mother of the groom speech

 

By the way, you should dedicate time to studying it at a time you won’t be distracted because you need to concentrate to glean ideas from it.

As you do that, get a pen or a highlighter and note pads so you can take some notes.

 

Put These Things Away


Turn off distractors like your cell phones, P.C, etc because they are likely to distract you. You will accomplish more in a quiet set up.


The first thing to look out for is the choice of words. You will notice that the speech sample you have in front of you has simple words. So you should avoid using big vocabulary else you will bore the audience.


Another thing to take into consideration is style. It’s a costly mistake to ‘steal’ the style of the material before your eyes.

You don’t have to do that. You should write in your own voice as it’s the only way the audience will enjoy your mother of the groom's speech ''like their favorite meals.''

 

Dramatic, funny, sentimental, and storytelling are styles you can pick from. But most moms prefer a combo: sentimental and funny. Whatever style you choose should be something you’re very comfortable with.

 


Speech samples help you write your speech in a unique way and it also makes your message heartfelt and memorable.

 

I was at a friend's wedding and I noticed this one thing about the M.C. He did well by coordinating the program brilliantly.

 

But when he began to say something about the couple, the guests had different things on their minds and were obviously not paying attention to him.


This guy had the right message but he forgot to survey his audience. Most people in the audience couldn’t speak English.

 

Thank God, he quickly realized that and he asked someone who understood the groom’s mother tongue to join him on stage, and that helped him turn around what would have otherwise being a very boring show.

He made the couple very proud at the end of the day and he even received lots of favorable compliments.

What a day it was!

Pick A Style That Suits You Best


The styles to choose from are usually sentimental, sarcastic, emotive, humorous, or a combination of two or more styles.


Next is the structure of the mother of the groom speech samples. It comes in three parts-introduction, body, and conclusion. Now, let’s see what each of these three sections constitutes.

The introduction is also known as the attention-getter. It is that part that arrests the attention of the audience.

 

Greetings, a short self –presentation (don’t take it for granted-not everyone may know who you are) as well as your relationship to the groom form part of the introduction.

Christian mother of the groom wedding speech


The body is that part that gets the audience ‘’emotionally charged’’ because they are able to relate to what you are saying. Please include the following ideas in this essential part of your speech-the body.

  • Who are you and your relationship to the groom
  • How he was like when he was younger
  • How he related to his siblings and how that inspired him
  • The funny incidents you can remember about your son when he was growing up
  • How you felt when you first saw him with your daughter-in-law.
  • Share your personal reflection on marriage


Proverbs, scriptural quotations, wisecracks, wise quotes, and so on can help you make the body very interesting and it can help you write your toast too.


How To Put Your Thoughts Together In A Logical Order


Now, let's see how to string the ideas that come to you anytime you study a speech sample.

Take a paper and divide it into three sections. Label the first part-introduction. The second portion should be called the body and part number three should be titled the toast.


Let's see how to write the opening line of our message.(I hope you haven't forgotten the components of the introduction we talked about at the onset of this article.)


Good evening ladies and gentlemen, I am Eric's mom. The family is grateful that you have come to support our son and daughter. It is every mother's prayer and wish that her son marries a lady who is an industrious wife and a caring mother.


And am proud that my son has chosen a mature, dignified, and industrious lady who will undoubtedly become the most adorable wife and mother I have ever seen. She is not only beautiful but she possesses great strength which will help this royal couple weather the storms of life.


They might wonder why I have chosen to say they are royal even though they have no ''royal blood'' in them. It's because every man and woman is a wonder of God's creation and that makes them kings and queens of his handiwork.


Honestly, writing some like this is not difficult at all. You can if you study this example critically as it can inspire you to write yours.

 

You see, this attention-getter should be connected to the body of your speech; the tidbits I shared, in the beginning, can be used to develop the crux of your dialogue.


Let's see if we can continue from where we stopped by examining how the groom was like when he was a little kid.

 

As a child, Eric was as sweet as a pie and I remember when Roger, my husband and I chased that little boy all around our neighborhood till a neighbor came out looking stern like a lioness when she heard a loud bang on her door after my son had thrown a big stone...


Congrats Eric, your choice shows you are a true gentleman. I’d like to tell you something you might not know about women.

Every woman is like ivory. Very easy to break but very expensive. So, love, cherish your wife at all times.

 


Did you see how I did that?


The toast or pieces of advice is the last thing you have to say before you take your seat and below is an example:

Alex and Marcia, you are a beautiful couple. We all wish you a long, happy life together, and may God bless you both. 

So I'd like to raise a glass to toast Alex and Marcia and their life together.

Cheers!

P.S- Did you know that the wedding guests will judge you by the kind of wedding speech you’ll give? You deserve a great speech.

And so you shouldn’t let him down with just any kind of ordinary speech.

You have to come up with something memorable. Do you have it takes to make that a reality so you get a standing ovation?

Looking for the best man toast examples to help you write the best ever best man wedding speech for your friend or brother?

 

If you do, then I am going to share with you proven tips and ideas and examples to help you write a unique best man toast for your friend or brother.

 

Best man speech examples for brother or friend

 

Before we dive right in, I would like to bring to your attention some critical issues that stop most wedding speakers from giving off their best and how you can make a difference with your words.

 

First, you don’t necessarily have to be a naturally funny person to write the best ever best man speech even though that helps a lot if you can make people laugh out loud. 

 

 

Second, some best men copy the speaking style of others and that takes away the shine of writing a unique best man speech for your brother or friend.

 

Third, you don't have to worry so much about what to say and what not to say. That will make you feel nervous. You just have to consult well written best man speech samples for a brother or friend to help you say what you want to say. Remember, you are to tell a story about your relationship with the groom. So, all you need are good memories of the best moments you have spent together.

Example # 1: Best Man Speech Example For Brother

 

A special thanks go to hitched.co.uk for posting this.

 

Here you go:

 

“For those who don’t know me, my name is Graham and I’m today’s best brother. I say best brother as there’s less competition in that category than in the best man competition. So if you like Craig’s speech better, then at least I still win something.

 

The last time I gave a speech at a joint event with my brother was at our 18th and 21st birthday party. A good portion of the people here were at that event and you’ll be glad to know my speech uses ‘fabulous’ a lot less this time around.

 

Stuart and Demi, it’s an honour to stand up here today as one of the best men. I’m delighted for you both and I’m so glad we can celebrate with friends and family who have travelled from around the country. They’re all here to wish you well (and can’t wait for their free food and drink).

 

Let me tell you a bit about growing up with Stuart - we met in the 90s, back in a time where it was fine to dress your children in popper tracksuit bottoms.

 

Stuart managed to pull his off as he was certainly the more athletic between us, whereas my bright yellow pair forever cemented me as our version of Augustus Gloop.

We had a great childhood and I was delighted to have a brother. We got on well - I used to get up early in the morning to let him out of his cot.

 

I didn’t need to do this for long as he soon learned to get himself out and cause my parents no end of grief when he learned to walk.

 

Unfortunately, their trick of sticking me in front of a TV with chocolate didn’t work so well on Stuart. All the ornaments had to be hidden. Fast forward a couple of years and we’d be out playing in the streets having water fights and coming to the door absolutely drenched.

 

We both also seemed to have quite the talent for winding up our neighbour Moira - bad enough on one occasion for her to phone the police on us for getting her plants wet!

 

We were lucky enough to go on plenty of day trips and holidays whilst we were growing up including trips up to Florida and the Dominican Republic. This is where some of our favourite embarrassing stories come from.

 

The classic that we all still talk about to this day was in the Dominican Republic back when we were much younger so we were sharing a bed. One morning I woke up and had the misfortune to discover that Stuart had wet the bed, left me in it and went into my mum and dad’s bed! He did this so much that the maids left a note saying they had put on plastic sheets for the remainder of our stay.

 

His exploits didn’t stop there and I can remember when we each got the bunk bed/futon (that was all the rage at the time) and he wet the bed the first night!

 

I remember mum raging down the phone to Trisha asking for the orange cleaner! There are a lot of other stories on this subject that can be exchanged for a gin and tonic at the bar. Cheers.

 

Stuart had always proven himself as the cheeky outgoing type but you wouldn’t have thought so when we went to some of the theme parks in Florida.

 

Although the rollercoasters scared him, it was when he was met with any of the wonderful characters in Disney World in Florida that really got him going. Crying and screaming, he would refuse to go up to the Queen of Hearts to get her autograph.

 

Watch The Rocky Horror Make-Up Show? Forget it. I think we have Trisha to thank for this. She used to get our cousin Brian’s scary masks from his room when Stuart was misbehaving and jump out at him or chase him up the stairs. The other classic was her removing her false teeth which really scared him senseless!

 

I couldn’t come up here and not talk about the stag weekend either. We went to Krakow back in September with the first night ending up in a karaoke bar of all places.

 

Having Stuart up singing with absolutely no change in his tone or voice to Madonna’s Like A Virgin was amazing. This wasn’t even the best part as on the second night we dressed Stuart up as Princess Peach with the rest of us as Mario. Some of the Mario costumes were extremely dodgy too.

 

We were like celebrities walking around Krakow that night with everybody wanting their picture taken with us. And when I think back on it, it’s really amazing that the gay brother managed to get his straight brother to sing Madonna and dress up in drag for his stag weekend! I can’t thank you enough for how you haven’t changed one bit since the day I came out and I’m so grateful that you accepted it and get on so well with Simon.

 

So here we are now, our families combined. We’ve already had a joint event and I had the most brilliant time at Christmas back at Stuart and Demi’s house.

 

We all played a friendly game of Cards Against Humanity, which for those of you who don’t know, is a game that you win by providing the funniest and/or most offensive answers to the questions asked. Demi’s mum was a particular pro at this game and kept providing absolute belters for answers. Demi was far too embarrassed to even play along with us.

 

I had to actually start writing things down because some of it was so good I thought it would be great for this speech. On reflection though, some of it was just too dirty to include. Our Grandma is here!

 

The one thing that I can tell you is that when someone played the ‘Cottaging’ card in answer to a question she responded with ‘WE USED TO DO THAT!’. I had to step in to explain what cottaging actually was by which point Demi and Roxanne had died of embarrassment whilst we were crying with laughter.

 

Clearly, she hadn’t paid much attention to George Michael’s fun back in Hampstead Heath. If that’s not the biggest icebreaker to a family coming together, then I don’t know what is.

 

Demi, you look absolutely fabulous today as we all knew you would. I hope you are enjoying your day so far and are happy with our shirt collars, bridezilla. It’s great to have you as a sister in law so I could get away with that and I look forward to many more games of Cards Against Humanity with you.

 

Stuart, thanks for asking me to be one of your best men today. It’s been a privilege to do this. I can see how happy you make each other and I wish you both nothing but happiness for your future together.

 

So then, ladies and gentlemen, I invite you all to stand and raise your glasses to toast the new husband and wife! We wish you well and your own happily ever after. To Stuart and Demi!”

Example# 2: Best Man Speech For A Friend

A special thanks go to hitched.co.uk for posting this.

 

Good afternoon ladies and gentlemen. May I first of all introduce myself to those of you who don't know me, or who haven't bought me a drink yet, my name is Craig, and I'm on JD and Coke ?

 

I'm absolutely honoured to be standing here today, and humbled that Rich has asked me to be his best man. I know there are 3 reasons Rich has asked me to be best man. First of all, he knew I could organise a decent night out for the stag do, also, he knew the speech would be one to remember, and finally, I think he just wanted to look taller in the photos.

 

I've never been a best man before, so I started where most people go when they're stumped, and went online. I'd only been on a few minutes, and I found a brilliant site, full of some seriously good stuff, there were videos, hints and tips, it was great.

 

After about an hour though, I heard my wife pulled onto the driveway, so I deleted the browsing history, and started looking for best man speech ideas.

Obviously, there are certain duties as best man I have to do.  I'd like to thank rich on behalf of myself and the bridesmaids for the kind words, and honestly feel touched by them.

 

I'd like to thank the bridesmaids for not only doing a great job in the church earlier today, but also for helping Grace this morning and getting her ready, calming her nerves, and I'm sure she'll be thankful of them today every time she needs the loo. It goes without saying, they all look fantastic, but obviously, not as much as Grace.

 

Let's face it, it's her wedding day, she planned it like that. Kind of a “you can look nice but not as nice as me” kind of deal. No doubt everyone here today thought the same 2 things as Grace walked in the church- firstly how beautiful she looked, and secondly, that Rich is MASSIVELY punching above his weight. I'd also like to thank Adam, Will and Liam the ushers, where are you lads?

Best man speech toast examples

I'd like to thank them for the absolutely bang up job they did of telling people where to sit in the church. That was worth the suit hire fee on its own, nice one lads.

 

Now, I do have some messages from people who couldn't attend but wanted to send their wishes To Rich, all the best on your wedding day, don't be a stranger! From Destiny, Sahara, and all the girls at the fantasy lounge

 

This one's from all the lads at the Rugby club, “Rich was useless in every position. All the best to his new Wife”.

 

“To Rich, all the best! Friday's just won't be the same without you!” – That's from Bruce, Julian and all the other lads at British Beef men's Saunas.

 

Now, everyone here knows Rich in a different capacity, so not everyone will know things about him that others know. Some know him from work, some from Uni, some through Grace, and some through family. So, what I'm going to do now is share with you some little known facts about Richard.

 

  1. You may have noticed Rich mentioned the time we saw the Courteeners. He tells everyone this was the first concert he went to. It was at the MEN in Manchester on a lads’ weekend. Brilliant gig from an amazing live band, a top night out afterwards in a cool club, absolutely fantastic.

 

This in actual fact, was his 2nd gig. His first – Rhidian from X Factor. If you can't remember exactly who that is, and let's be honest, who could blame you, it was the Welsh blonde opera singer. Rock and Roll. 

 

  1. Rich went through a phase where his favourite drink was an Archers and orange juice.

 

This only came to an end when as his friends, we quite rightly refused to order him one. Saying “2 Guinness, a pint of Stella, a double JD and Coke and an Archers and Orange please mate” in a rough pub when it's a bunch of lads just wasn't on.

 

If we did have to get him one, we always made sure it had a little cocktail umbrella so the old boys at the bar drinking a pint of mild were all sure to give him a dodgy look.

 

  1. I've got to thank Grace for sharing this one. Rich once re-wrote the song “IT girl” as a poem for grace, calling it Stoke girl. I'm not going to read it all out, but I'll give you the highlights. “Down Selly oak, in the soak, trying to find you/tell them other guys they can lose your number because I've found the girl of my dreams/ you can be my Stoke girl/ baby this is it girl/better than a 2:1, that's what you mean to me”.

 

 

Now, even though it was Grace who told me about this, what she doesn't actually know, is the reason behind it. Basically, the day before Valentine's Day, Rich realised her forgotten to get Grace a card, so Rich being the penny pincher he is, decided to screenshot and print out a moon pig card.

 

However, even Rich realised this moon pig knock off looked kind of bad, so heard It, Girl, on the radio, and just decided to change the words. As you can see from his efforts though, it's pretty obvious it's not English he teaches. 

 

  1. Final fact about Rich – his only other serious girlfriend very helpfully, for the purposes of my speech anyway, finished with him around this time of year. His time-hop recently showed his Facebook status from the break up. Timehop, if you're not aware of it, is an app that shows what your Facebook updates were on that day however many years ago.

 

 

Luckily for us, Rich decided to go on Facebook after getting the elbow. I'm not one to kick a bloke while he's down, but it's been 7 years now, so I'll share the status updates from that day with you now. “This shouldn't be happening”.

 

“The summer is ruined”, and my favourite, “if there's one thing I know for sure, I'm always going to be there for you, I'll be waiting X”. She probably thought she'd split up with Rod Stewart.

 

 

The main aim of the best man's speech is of course pretty much telling stories about the groom from drunken nights out, embarrassing him in front of all his family and friends.

 

Anyone who actually knows Rich knows that he is more than capable of doing that on his own, but I'll follow tradition and give it a go anyway.

 

This is where I hit a bit of a problem though, as I have to be aware of the audience…so Rich has been telling me almost daily for 18 months.

 

Not only are Rich's new in-law's present, but also his grandparents, and also my 3 year old. That rules out pretty much the vast majority.

 

 

I know everyone always says that, but I genuinely mean there are dozens I can't say. One in particular, but in Rich's defence, I honestly thought it was a woman as well. Eventually however, I did remember one I can share with you.

 

We were in Wolverhampton one night, in a club called blast off. Now back in the day, we didn't so much have a seduction technique, more “eye contact then close dancing when Call on Me by Eric Prydz came on”, but Rich was always different. As Dave and Lorraine will be pleased to hear, Rich always tried to be a complete gentleman.

 

His tried- very tried- and tested method was to approach a girl, say to them, “I've noticed you from across the dance floor, I think you're very attractive, could I please buy you a drink?”

 

Bearing in mind though.… this….was Wolverhampton, so usually he'd buy them a Bacardi breezer, and then they'd go and dance with a lad in a striped Henri Lloyd sweatshirt called Daz, so it never actually worked. One night however, Rich spotted a young girl, and made his way over.

 

By the time he got there though, she's moved. And believe me when I say for the next 3 hours we weren't stood in the same place for more than 2 minutes before rich moved us again looking for this girl. Eventually, at about 1am, he conceded defeat, and we went outside for a fag, and Rich, who's never smoked, tagged along.

 

Anyone who's ever been on a night out with Rich knows that he can't handle his drink. A sniff of the barmaids apron and he's hammered, so by this time, he was more than merry.

 

Then who do we see coming out of another door, but the girl in question. Rich then decides to make a last gasp romantic gesture and go over. In his head it no doubt was like Colin firth as Mr Darcy emerging from the lake in pride and prejudice.

 

In reality though, it was much different. He starts to walk toward the taxi, and thinks it'll look cooler, more dangerous, if he's got a cigarette, so he grabs one out of my mouth. He walks over, and that's when the rest of us realised, this wasn't a taxi…it was the girl's mother, fetching her daughter from up town.

 

As she shuts the door, Rich blocks it, she looks up, and sees Rich, an embassy number one hanging from his mouth, squinting from the smoke going in his eye, a can of red stripe in one hand, his phone in the other, mumbling what sounds like the lyrics to “I bet you look good on the dance floor”, swaying on the spot. Shockingly, he didn't get her number.

 

I still remember when Rich told me he'd met Grace. He said he'd met her up town, and was instantly smitten with her, and all he went on about for days was how they'd been texting and finally arranged to meet at an expensive restaurant in Birmingham.

 

Then, the nerves kicked in when he realised that on that night, they were both drunk, to be honest, I'm assuming grace was the more drunk out of the 2, and he couldn't really remember too much about her, and he could only gather so much from stalking her profile on Facebook, and even then he'd accidentally liked a photo from 2 years before, so he'd deactivated his profile for a few days just to be safe.

 

As luck would have it, my wife and I were in Birmingham than night in a different restaurant, so Rich came up with a plan. If he got there, and it was all going pear shaped, or he wanted to leave, he'd give me a ring, I'd ring him back, he'd pretend there was an emergency at work and I would pick him up. And now, here we are all these years later, on their wedding day.

 

All I can say is it's lucky my phone was on silent and I didn't see the 36 missed calls, 9 texts and 15 voicemails from Rich until the next morning.

 

In all seriousness now though, I'd like to thank Rich and Grace for including all of us here on their special day. Especially Ed, who didn't stop the fact he was only invited in the night stop him from being here now. To be honest we should all be saying that, he has been brutal with the guest list. Rich is a good friend, who I've had some great times with over the last 10 years, and he's found a true soul mate in Grace.

 

I have absolutely no doubt he'll be just as good a husband, and one day as good a father. Rich, Grace, if you could both just look at each other for a moment, don't worry, I'm not doing the “last time you've got the upper hand” gag. I'd like to say that everyone here is so happy that you have found each other, and that you have taken the next step on a long and wonderful life together.

 

And as you sit here, gazing into each other's eyes, never forget that statistically, you are looking at the person most likely to murder you.

 

Ladies and gentlemen, it has truly been an honour delivering this speech to you, so please, be upstanding, and raise your glasses for the new Mr and Mrs ….hold on, Rich hasn't got a drink….

 

I'm not surprised after how many toasts were in his speech….can we get him one.… (Waiter brings out an archers and orange with a cocktail umbrella in it)….ah, there we go……ladies and gentlemen, the new Mr and Mrs!

I hope you enjoyed reading the second example. Now, let’s see what went into writing it.

 

How To Write Your Best Man Speech For Your Friend Or Brother Using The Best Man Speech Examples

 

First and foremost, I would like us to re-look at parts of the introduction so we can learn from it.

''Good afternoon ladies and gentlemen. May I first of all introduce myself to those of you who don't know me, or who haven't bought me a drink yet, my name is Craig, and I'm on JD and Coke ?...''

From the above, you can clearly see that every introduction comprise of these elements:

  • Greeting the audience and thanking them for coming
  • Your name and relationship with the bride and groom
  • Thanking the groomsmen and the bridesmaid for their support.
  • Thanking the groom for asking you to be his best man and describing you felt when you realized that you are going to deliver a speech.
  • If you are the brother of the groom, you can thank your parents and other relatives for the impact they have had on his life and yours too.

 

 

Let me ask you this: Based on what I said, can you write down the names of people you would like to express gratitude to? Just give it a try now. Well, the introduction has another part to it and I call it: the hook.

 

The hook draws your listeners into the body of your speech. Your hook should grab the attention of the audience right from the start of your best man toast.  These simple ideas and techniques can help you accomplish that goal.

  • The best way to start is by sharing how and where you met the groom. If you are his big brother, you can share how you felt when your little brother was born.
  • Second, you can start with a joke about married couples.
  • Third, you may start with a quote about love or marriage or friendship. Here are a few ones you can use.
  1. ''Some people come into our lives for a season. Others for a reason ; and some others for a lifetime.''
  1. ''A real friend is one who walks in when the rest of the world walks out.”
    – Walter Winchell
  1. ''We came into the world like brother and brother; and now let’s go hand in hand, not one before another.'' – William Shakespeare
  1. ''Don’t make friends who are comfortable to be with. Make friends who will force you to lever yourself up.''
    – Thomas J. Watson
  1. “Brothers are playmates in the beginning and best friends for life.”

If you are the younger brother of the groom, you can use a quote about positive influences or this funny one:

 

‘’Happiness is having a younger brother who is taller than you.”

Here’s a practical example  of how to use those quotes. I will go for quote #1 underlined in the short extract below.

 

Ladies and gentlemen, some people come into our lives for a season. Others for a reason; and some others for a lifetime.

 

If you are blessed enough to have a very warm and loving brother like John in your life, then, you have to treasure him more than anything else in the world because people like him are so hard to find.

When I became wise enough to understand the effects of my reckless actions, I was only 19 and he had grown wiser as a 30 year old man. That happened only 3 years ago when…..

Did you see how I used that quote to write something brief?

Best man speech toast tips and ideas for rehearsal dinner

Now, let’s see...

 

How To Write The Body Of Your Best Man Speech

Let’s see look at snippets of the second example to guide us along the way.

‘’Now, everyone here knows Rich in a different capacity, so not everyone will know things about him that others know. Some know him from work, some from Uni, some through Grace, and some through family. So, what I'm going to do now is share with you some little known facts about Richard.’’

 

If you go back and read the second example, you will notice that the storyline is about   Richard’s relationship with Craig.

 

To come up with the right stories for the body of your speech, you should do a little brainstorming and put down memories of what your friendship with the groom has been like over the years. 

 

The following questions can help you come up with the right anecdotes. So, put down your answers on a sheet of paper or in your journal.

  • Where and when did you first meet him?
  • What drew him close to you?
  • What are some things you share in common?
  • Why do you really like?
  • What are some of his superb qualities?
  • Why are so proud of your friend or brother?
  • In what ways does he motivate you to do your best?
  • What fun and fond memories do you want to share?

 

This is what I want you to do now. If you have written down answers to the above questions, then please try putting your thoughts together in a rough draft. Can you? Yes, you can…

 

By the way, you don't have to write about anything that will upset him like past relationships or anything else like that.  As you do, just make sure your speech isn’t lopsided. Talk about your sister-in-law or the bride. If you have known her for a long time, then you can say so much about her.

 

If you don’t know the bride, you may simply say that she’s well-suited for the groom. Welcome her to the family if you are the brother of the groom and say some nice things about her.

How To End Your Best Man Speech On A Memorable Note

 

Once again, let’s see portions of our example for inspiration and guidance.

‘’I have absolutely no doubt he'll be just as good a husband, and one day as good a father. Rich, Grace, if you could both just look at each other for a moment, don't worry, I'm not doing the “last time you've got the upper hand” gag. I'd like to say that everyone here is so happy that you have found each other, and that you have taken the next step on a long and wonderful life together. ‘’

 

That sounds funny, right? There are other ways of ending on a memorable note.  Here are just a few of them.

M4 (1)

  • First, you can simply say why the groom will be a good husband and father as seen in this example.

 

  • You can end with a song if you have a great voice. If you want to employ this, just make sure you look for one the wedding guests can sing along to. This is an example. 

 

 

  • If you are married, you can share a bit of simple marriage advice. If you are not married, you still can do it in a very clever way.

 

Here’s a short example of how to do that even if you are single.

''I think I am not the best person to give you marriage advice since I have not walked on that road before but Brandon’s love for me has taught me that the most important foundation of love is friendship. So, make sure you always love each other.''

 

  • You can simply say how happy you are for them and offer your best wishes for the journey ahead.

 

  • Do you know of a lovely marriage or love poem? You can use that to wrap up. Here’s an example.

 

With You In My Heart – by Mick Jennings

With you in my heart, my life is complete,
You’re the air that I breathe and the food that I eat.
You are my soul mate, the beat in my heart,
It feels like a year each second we’re apart.

With you in my heart I’m walking on air,
I can imagine your perfume and the touch of your hair.
Your beautiful eyes, so kind and so green,
The loveliest sight I ever have seen.

With you in my heart, I am brim full of pride,
It’s as though i can achieve anything with you by my side.
You’re my rock, you’re my angel, my one true love,
You’re my present from heaven, my gift from above.

With you in my heart, I love you so much,
How caring you are, my soul you do touch.
You’re a beautiful princess, a pleasure to know,
My love for you just continues to grow.

With you in my heart, I’m the happiest man on earth,
I feel God has planned this since the day of my birth.
I could never love anyone the way I love you,
I hope and I pray that you feel the same way too.

With you in my heart, through the good and the bad,
I’ll be there when you need me, when you’re hurting or sad.
In fact I’ll be there for you any night, any day,
Whenever you need me, you just have to say.

With you in my heart, it really makes my day,
With the things that you do and the things that you say.
You and Eva deserve happiness and I will ensure,
From now, only good times come knocking at your door.

With you in my heart, I hope it feels good,
And that I am caring for you the way that I should.
I will always be happy, just by the love that you give,
I will protect you and love you for as long as I live.

 

  • Are you or the couple Christians? Do they believe in God? If so, you can use bible verses to end on a strong note. You may use these scriptures.

 

Psalm 128

A song of ascents.

Blessed are all who fear the Lord,
    who walk in obedience to him.
You will eat the fruit of your labor;
    blessings and prosperity will be yours.
Your wife will be like a fruitful vine
    within your house;
your children will be like olive shoots
    around your table.
Yes, this will be the blessing
    for the man who fears the Lord.

May the Lord bless you from Zion;
    may you see the prosperity of Jerusalem
    all the days of your life.
May you live to see your children’s children—
    peace be on Israel.

1 John 4:12, NIV: "No one has ever seen God; but if we love one another, God lives in us and his love is made complete in us.

Using 1 John 4:12, I made this up…

Alex and Amanda, your love is a very beautiful gift. So always love each other. As  long as you love one another, God will guide your path and his love will be complete in you.

  • If you don’t know what to say, just wrap up with a sweet toast to the bride and groom.

Ok, I am Interested, What’s the Cost?

You simply pay what you want after you’ve got your beautiful speech.

Why? As you know, the current health and economic crisis have caused severe hardships for most people.

Precious lives have been lost, jobs wiped out and families displaced, leaving everyone wondering what the future holds.

Yet, some couples are still getting married and asking friends and family to give speeches like never before. 

Nonetheless, not everyone could afford our services even before the pandemic suddenly hit us.

So, we have dropped our normal rates so you can simply pay what you want after you have got your beautiful speech.

Please note: When life gets back to normal, this offer will be scrapped for good.

So, please take advantage of it now even if the big day is in the future.

Even though we are going through this crazy time, if you do a poor job at it, your speech will be captured on video, and the groom, your friends and family, and other viewers will forever remember what you said and would not attribute your poor performance to the fact there was a deadly disease in town.  

So, please take advantage of it now even if  the groom's big day is in the future by simply paying what you want after you get your beautiful speech.
