Great wedding speeches-How nervous wedding speakers give great wedding speeches

Many people hold the view that great wedding speeches are given by extradordinary or gifted wedding speakers.

But their perspectives simply do not hold water because memorable wedding speeches are written by flesh and blood just like you and me.

What adds the oomph to  a great wedding speech is the extra effort that is expended to ensure those presentations stand head and shoulders above the rest at wedding receptions.

  If you want your wedding speeches to stand out, then, you need to go for a great speech. What this means is that you should dream and anticipate about how your words will flow and the tactics you'll use to woo the audience.

Hence,you need to eradicate any negative views you hold about speaking before an audience.

Simply put, you cannot make any headway if all you see in you mind’s eye is fear and your own inadequacies. Such an unhealthy mental attitude will influence your emotions and in the long run your performance. Envision how the speech will go by seeing yourself  in your mind's eye standing confidently before an ecstatic wedding audience. A positive outlook is the incubator where great wedding speeches are born.So you need to foresee things in that direction.

Another thing to consider is how you present your facts. You should spend time gathering as much information as possible. The audience doesn’t mind if you are eloquent or not. All they are expecting from you is a thrilling account of how well you are able to relate stories about the couple.

The words you use should hit their emotional hot buttons . For instance, your words should remind them of the very first time they fell in love or when they were tied the knot.

Your choice of words should be easy to understand and devoid of any obscenities.Try to sparingly lace your wedding speech with proverbs, wisecracks, and idioms. If you are a natural humorist, you can throw in a few jokes:humor will throw the audience off their seats if you can do it well.

 Again, a great wedding speech is not a monologue but a dialogue. Ordinary wedding speeches do not involve the audience but great ones do. To do this, you need a creative twist. Here are some imaginative ways to do just way.

-You can render your speech in song and if it is familiar, then the audience will be happy to sing along with you. For instance, let's use Bill Wither's ''sometimes in life we all have pain…'' to write a short speech.

This is the original lyrics

Sometimes in our lives we all have pain 
We all have sorrow 
But if we are wise 
We know that there's always tomorrow 

Lean on me, when you're not strong 
And I'll be your friend 
I'll help you carry on 
For it won't be long 
'Til I'm gonna need 
Somebody to lean on 

And where's how you can render it a song as part of your speech

Diana, sometimes in your married life you'll  have pain 
You'll have sorrow 
But if we are wise 
You'll know that there's always tomorrow 

Lean on Dan(name of groom here), when you're not strong 
And he'll be your friend 
We'll help you carry on 
For it won't be long 
'Til yougonna need 
Daniel to lean on

See how it goes?You too can do same

You can also dramatize your speech or have it delivered in poetry.
