Now...

Let One Of The World’s Best Fathers Show You How He Gave The Best Father Of The Bride Speech!

When King Carl XVI Gustaf of Sweden wanted to give the most valuable gift to Princess Victoria her daughter, he sought not to do it with gold or any of the valuables in his great palace but he gave her words.

He knew that a father’s word would give her beautiful daughter the stability she needs in her married life and so he delivered a very heartfelt speech that was applauded by Swedes and other people around the globe.

Today, we are going to look at the words he said about his daughter on her big day and how you can adapt his words to write your own speech.

Let's Go!

Now let us begin with his father of the bride's speech and let us examine it so you can write your wedding speech like a royal! By the way, here's a video of his speech.

Behold, The Text Of The Great King!

First, here are his introductory remarks

Your Majesties,
Your Imperial Highness,
Your Royal Highnesses,
Ladies and Gentlemen,

Her Majesty the Queen and I wish to greet you all with a most heartily welcome to the Royal Palace and to this wedding gala dinner. It is wonderful to see you all here!

On behalf of my family — and especially on behalf of my oldest daughter and my son-in-law — I wish to thank you for coming and for participating in our joy! You will always be a part of this unforgettable and memorable day!

What can you say about the opening lines of the king’s speech? To get something out of this example, we need to first find out what the components of a captivating opener are.

Remember, he addresses the guests and thank them for honoring the invitation to the wedding gala dinner.

You also have to first greet the audience and thank them for coming too. Besides, you should tell the guests who you are and your relationship with the bride.

You can even start with:

''On behalf of my wife or family, I wish to…''

Many fathers don’t start this way and I think it’s not the best given that you probably raised your daughter as a team.

If you are the father of the bride, please tell the guests who you are and your relationship with the guests like the bride's mother, your parents, and other relatives. The king didn’t do that because he is well-known in Sweden and beyond.

Ok, let's keep it going then

Your Royal Highnesses Crown Princess Victoria and Prince Daniel!
Dear newly-weds!

The Queen and I would like to wish you — The Crown Princess of Sweden and Prince Daniel — all the best for the life ahead together!

It is a major step in life to enter into marriage. Not only for the bride and groom but also for their parents.

The promise you have given to each other today on mutual support and loyalty ties the two of you further together. It is, however, an unavoidable consequence of your decision that the ties to your parents thus will be changed. From now on, your first loyalty will be to one another.

We as parents take joy in the affection by which you look at each other. But — as so many parents before us have experienced — the joy of seeing one's children standing on their own to build their families, is also spiced with a touch of grief. I wish that you also one day will be able to experience such happiness that we feel today.

Though there are so many ways of engaging the wedding audience, King Carl XVI Gustav begins by addressing the royal couple and reminding them of the significance of their vows.

At the end of that paragraph, he expresses his deepest emotions on this beautiful day. What do you think will run through your mind and that of the wedding guests as you talk about that?

Pouring your feelings out will make your father of the bride's speech, not only very touching, heartfelt, and memorable but it will also enable you to connect with your audience in a unique way.

It thus came as no surprise that many people thought the king’s speech was one of the best royal wedding speeches they have ever heard as it stirred up their sentiments.

Let’s see what he said next

Dear Victoria!
You are the successor to the throne of Sweden. It is a mission that comes with duties and responsibilities and it is with pride and gratitude I have seen you grow into this role.

One day you will — because so it is stated in our constitution — succeed me as the head of state of Sweden. My mind is put at ease when I see the wisdom and determination by which you prepare yourself for this task.

I know that I share this confidence with a large number of the Swedish people. You could, perhaps, with a reference to our ancestor Karl XIV Johan, say "The love of the people is my reward."

Our relation is, however, deeper than that between a monarch and his successor. I am your father. You are my beloved daughter.

No one should believe anything else than that my highest wish has always been — and is — to see you happy. It has therefore always been self-evident to your mother the Queen and me, that you — as any person in our country — should have the freedom to choose your life´s companion as your heart desires.

I have today sought to make this point clear by accompanying you to your future husband, and thereby confirming the decision to approve of your marriage according to our constitution.

Again, let us see how we can glean some insights from the above narration. You have to tell the wedding guests about your daughter while she was growing up.

You can simply do that by sharing an interesting anecdote.

Furthermore, the King reminds Victoria of her responsibilities as the future monarch. You have to remind your daughter of her role in her new life.

In order to do that, you talk about the fact that she is now a wife. After you have said that, you can add what her duties as a mother will be like when your grandchildren come on the scene. Then, give her your blessings and wish her well in the journey ahead.

Now let’s see what he said about his son- in- law, Daniel Westling

Dear Daniel!

On behalf of the Queen and myself, I would like to welcome you most warmly into our family. We would also like to congratulate our daughter on her choice of husband. And we — your parents-in-law — congratulate you on your choice of wife.

We have got to know you as a very ambitious and skillful entrepreneur. I have often been impressed by the purposefulness and the go-ahead spirit which you have shown and we have with approval noticed the energy and determination by which you have been preparing yourself for your mission as Prince Consort. That is: to give your wife, the Crown Princess, support and confidence.

We are also delighted to have made the acquaintance with your parents Eva and Olle West ling as well as your large and lovely family.

Addressing your daughter without saying something about your son- in- law is a mistake many fathers make when giving their speeches, and it is something you should definitely avoid. Proper speech etiquette demands that you do so.

Here’s What To Do Instead

First, sincerely tell your son––in–law why you admire him and how you felt when you met him for the very first time. Comment on his qualities and formally invite him and his family into yours.

You will only be breaking tradition if you don’t do so since you have the sacred responsibility as host of the event to introduce him to your own family.

Please use this fine opportunity to advise and give him some tips on how to be a great husband and dad if you can.

Now back to the kings’ words'

Dear Victoria and Daniel!
The Queen and I, Prince Carl Philip and Princess Madeleine would like to congratulate you and wish you all the best. On your walk through life together, you can always count on our support and affection and we pray that God Almighty always will be merciful to you.

Finally, I would like to propose a toast to — and that we all raise a cheer for — the Crown Princess and Prince Daniel, our beloved and beautiful bridal couple.

Four cheers for them!

Finally, he congratulates them and wishes them well as they start a life together. Did you notice how he addressed the couple before making his toast?

Anyway, you might borrow his exact words as used above. But please remind the couple always of your love and support in good times and bad.

On the wedding day, your daughter and family will demand nothing from you but an exceptional speech. Do you really have what it takes to deliver a great speech like what the king came up with?

Want to write and give a great wedding speech like the one above but can't seem to get started because you don't know the exact words to use?

Or not too sure if what you intend writing will be well received by the guests?

Let's help you make your daughter, wife, and family proud and let the wedding guests say great things about your speech.

Here’s what one nervous and skeptical dad called Glen sent over after the wedding was over

Ok, I am Interested, What’s the Cost?

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