Let’s face it! Life can be very agonizing and challenging sometimes, but we did not give up when faced with problems and challenges because our life can be very beautiful after we have gone through those trials.
And that’s what happened to Elizabeth and Kerry days leading to their big day. It was Elizabeth’s birthday and Kerry decided to go with her to see horses race in a competition.
Kerry’s team won and Elizabeth was so thrilled to see the horses gallop here and there.
So she asked Kerry to help join the local polo club. She wanted to learn how to first ride a horse so she could win the competition in the women’s category someday.
She enrolled and was doing great. Her trainers said she was one of the determined people they had seen. Kerry even bought her her private horse to enable her train harder and better.
An accident occurs!
With just days to their big day, Elizabeth fell off the horse during her training session one afternoon. Unfortunately, she was kicked in the belly by the stallion powerful left hoof.
John, her trainer didn’t mind but rode on. He thought it was just one of those tricks Elizabeth played when she was tired.
After twenty minutes, she was still on the ground so he quickly rushed to the scene and saw her student lying motionless. And blood was oozing from her left thigh. He couldn’t help it so he called an ambulance and she was rushed to hospital.
Kerry, her fiancée was about to call her on the phone so they could go shopping when his own phone rang several times. He rushed to grab the receiver and to his dismay, an unfamiliar voice announced that Elizabeth had fallen into coma.
Kerry informed Elizabeth’s mother and he picked her up on the way to the hospital. When they arrived doctors informed them that she would need to be operated upon if she didn’t recover.
Everybody was down in spirit and they even wanted to put off the wedding. But they had paid for the things they needed and it was just unbearable to raise money; having planned this event for close to 5 years!
But Kerry just believed that this event couldn’t be postponed.
In less than three weeks to time, she showed remarkable signs of recovery and incredible strength and doctors were even stunned!
At this point, her wounds had healed and she was no more hobbling. When the family got to know this they were thrilled!
Preparations for the wedding got place albeit on a slow note.
Seeing what the family had gone through, Elizabeth’s mum told her husband that they needed to make the event memorable. A lot of things came into mind but her husband suggested that she give a speech.
After considering the kind of wedding speech to give, she settled on a funny speech.
On the day itself, this was what she said when she was asked to give her funny mother of the bride speech.
Her speech began
Many years ago, a French husband and wife were travelling through Eastern Europe with the wife’s aged aunt. The old woman had been pains in the butt from the word go, complaining about everything… the food, the hotels, the weather, and the people.
Finally, she went too far and insulted a small nation’s queen. As a result, all three members of the family were sentenced to corporal punishment in the form of fifty lashes.
However, because the nation did not wish to be viewed as hostile to foreign visitors, the queen agreed that each be granted a wish before receiving the punishment.
The wife said that she would like a pillow to be bound to her rear end. And so, the pillows were tied in place and the aunt received her fifty lashes.
Finally, it was the husband‘s turn.
I have two wishes, if that’s possible … he said
That’s acceptable… said the Chief Of Police. ..I am empowered by her royal highness to grant you two wishes. What are your wishes Sir?
Firstly, I would like to be given one hundred lashes instead of the fifty
The Police Chief stood speechless and said Are you sure? That’s an unusual request. Nevertheless, I would grant your wish. And what’s your second wish?
I want my wife’s aunt to be bound to my back.
From that story, we can glean the following lessons
Lesson # 1 It pays to be courteous
Lesson # 2 Contentment in life is great gain
Lesson # 3 Every decision has its own consequences
I stand here today a proud mom not because my daughter has found the man of her dreams but because your life has been a great blessing to the family since you were born. I see you are happy and nervous like a Christmas toy but I want to assure you need not worry.
Marriage is a lot like the story I shared at the start of my talk. You need not complain like the aged aunt who went too far and insulted a nation’s queen because you can never have all you need in this life. Learn to content with the little things that come your way because you can only have much when you learn to count your blessings.
She also added the account of the tragedy the family experienced and that brought tears to some people who were in the audience. She even got a standing ovation for her efforts.
Elizabeth’s ordeal and her mom’s triumph brings to mind the power of using words to influence people, and getting them to do whatever we want. The right words can inspire, heal, and even make us laugh when used appropriately.
As you give your wedding speech, you too might experience the nerves. But if you make up your mind to excel, you’ll definitely make it no matter what may come your way.
Insecurities because they simply don’t think they can give a speech that command the attention of the audience in a unique way.
That’s why this piece has been written to help you give your funny speech without worrying a bit about being a funny person or not!
Forget it if you think you have to be a comedy writer to give your speech. Forget it if you think if you’ve to be a pro or a seasoned toastmaster to give a speech that will make the audience happy!
Believe it or not, you too can give your message confidently even if you hate public speaking or you’re someone who hates writing and even bring down the house!
Then put into practice what it teaches and you’ll be filled with an amazing sense of accomplishment when you’re done.
Everyone is counting on you to make them laugh. And your wedding speech could be that stress-reliever they are looking out for.
Remember, funny speeches will get you lots of friends: old friendship will deepen and new associations will come your way at the wedding. And you’ll be remembered and respected as the speaker whose speech tickled the laughing bone of the wedding guests.
If you’re lucky, someone can share it online and before you know it someone as far as Vanuatu will enjoy your words and he or she will learn a thing or two about how to give a hilarious speech.
Yes you can and I believe you can! Just believe you can give a funny wedding speech.

A Simple And Proven Plan To Help You Remember Your Speech Even If You Have A Poor Memory
Are you looking for very helpful but easy-to-follow tips and tips and ideas to help you write a funny best man speech for your friend or brother on his big day?
If you are, then just bear with me for just a little while and I will share with you everything you need to know about…
How to model your funny best man toast after best man speech examples and templates so you don’t struggle to organize your thoughts and feelings into captivating words
How to use simple tricks and techniques to get everyone cracking up with laughter without resorting to jokes and other clichés and innuendos
First and foremost, let’s look a few limiting views about giving humorous best man toasts and how you can shatter the glass ceiling to deliver one of the best ever funny wedding speeches.
Start With This And End With It
If you want your performance to go down well, you need to believe in what you are going to say or do else nothing can really work for you. To be clear, you need to believe in yourself.
Whatever you wish for in this life depends a great deal on your own set of beliefs. You cannot succeed if all you see around you is doubt and despair.
I know you are probably wondering if you are going to excel because your mind has relayed a picture of a past incident where you panicked when you were asked to say a few words before a group of people.
Don’t let that bog you down! You are the product of your imagination, so believe you can and you would only be a step away from delivering your toast with poise and flair.
It Doesn’t Have To Be This Way
A hilarious best man speech doesn’t need to be delivered with the aplomb of an actor or actress accepting an Oscar - as long as it is sweet, sincere, and special, you’re going to be a hit (with your best friend or brothers and of course, the ladies).
Leave The Past In The Past
Picture this - everyone’s having a good time, drinking, eating, and laughing at your jokes.
But then, the incident comes up - awkward glances are exchanged, tiny coughs fill the room, and you can almost hear the sound of crickets. If there is a surefire way to bring down the mood, it’s mentioning what should not be mentioned.
At any cost, please leave out the drunk bachelor trip shenanigans (don’t give your best friend’s Uncle Muriel a coronary), definitely avoid mentions of wild parties, and do not breathe a word about a past relationship.
All You Need Is A Single Story
A humorous best man speech is short and sweet. It shouldn’t be a 25-page novel that makes the audience wish they’d never stepped foot into that room.
Your best man speech shouldn’t be funny from start until finish. Just choose one or two hilarious anecdotes that are appropriate, stories that are easy to explain, share fond memories of your best friend or brother, and wind it up. For example, if you sense that your speech is not funny enough, you may paint your face in a funny way and don a bizarre wig or custom and you will get the wedding crowd beaming.
Here’s How to Get Ideas for Your Best Man Speech
There are two ways. Funny best man speech videos, and well-written examples. Let’s watch some video clips you can learn from and adapt to writing the structure of your speech.
Action Tip: Get a piece of paper or a sheet and pen and write down thoughts and phrases you would like to incorporate into your storyline as you watch these short clips.

So without further ado, let’s see how to write a best man speech for your friend or brother, shall we? If you are his brother, then, you may scroll down the page for a speech template from a brother to the groom and bride.
P.S Both samples can help you know what to say and what not to say. So, my advice is to read the two and jot down ideas that you can adapt for your funny best man speech.
Funny Best Man Speech for Your Friend Example/Template
First, here’s an example for your friend. I found this at www.hitched.co.uk and I am glad to share it with you because it perfectly captures the essence of what the writing process is all about.
Here you go:
“Good afternoon everyone – for those of you that don’t know me, my name’s Scott and after all these years it’s nice that Steve has finally admitted that I’m the best man!
I hope you’ve all had a lovely time so far and continue to have a fantastic time as the day and evening goes by – I’d also like to apologize in advance if I, in any way, ruin that in the next five minutes.
Talking of five minutes, it’s often said that the best man’s speech is the worst five minutes of the groom’s life – I’m also told (by reliable sources) that the worst five minutes of Laura’s life comes later on when all the guests have gone home!
I know from personal experience that it’s a difficult task choosing a best man, I’m still not sure about my choice four years on eh Steve?!
But with Steve, like most things in life, it became more difficult as time went on – his first choice was his funniest friend but unfortunately, he said no, so then he thought he’d choose his cleverest friend but again, unfortunately, the offer was declined.
At the third attempt he turned to his most handsome friend but sadly it was a no yet again and at this point, as you can imagine Steve was getting pretty desperate – that’s when my phone rang!
And, to be honest, hearing Steve’s quivering little voice on the phone I decided I couldn’t possibly turn him down for the fourth time!
As part of my job today I get the task of saying a few words about today’s main man – I can honestly say that he’s one of the most handsome, most funny men you’ll ever meet and I’m proud to call him my friend.
So if you if bump into him today – where’s Lloyd? Today is his birthday so please buy him a drink – happy birthday Lloyd!
Now, I was asked by Steve and Laura to be careful with any content that may be a little risqué and, in particular, remove any innuendos – so I just wanted to reassure you both that I’ve been through it carefully and vetted it but if I do come across anything I’ve missed I’ll whip it out as quickly as I can!
In all seriousness I’ve known Steve now for around 18 years since I interviewed him for a job as a 16/17-year-old – he turned up late, with the very popular ‘curtain’ hairstyle, proudly wearing his Arsenal tie and he somehow managed to convince me that I’d found a gem.
I’d like to point out that several times over the first few years I was given the opportunity by the HR department to get rid of him, but somehow those eyes were still convincing me otherwise.
Now because most of the stories I could tell about Steve over the years would no doubt incriminate myself, again I decided to be careful about what I would say – so I definitely won’t be telling you about the times he used his ‘one phone call’ to tell me he couldn’t make it to work, I definitely won’t be telling you about his love of urinating in public places when under the influence (in particular on my neighbour’s car!) and I definitely won’t tell you about the time I got a call from head office to say that Steve had some charges for extras against his room whilst away on a training course – he swore blind, as he does when under pressure, that it wasn’t for him.
So you can tell by looking at Steve that not a lot has changed really – although unlike most people he’s actually lost weight over the years I’ve known him, quite a lot to lose at one point as I recall Steve?!
And over those years I think it’s fair to say we’ve got into a few scrapes and one way or another we’ve always been there for each other when things have been tough – I’m proud to call you my friend and long may it continue!
Now, despite what I said before things have definitely changed for him since he got together with Laura 5 years ago, particularly over the last 18 months when their daughter came along – he’s a brilliant Dad and I’m sure that he’ll be a brilliant husband too!
I’m also impressed that he’s chosen to whisk Laura away on honeymoon in the UK – North Wales isn’t it Steve?…oh ok, I obviously got confused when he said he was going to Bangor for two weeks after the wedding!
I could honestly stand here and take the mick out of Steve all day long but I could definitely do with a beer now – although I do just want to impart one last bit of wisdom on you Steve… so, if Laura could just place her hand on the table, palm down… etc.
How does that feel Steve? I can personally guarantee you that will be the last time you ever have the upper hand so make the most of it while you can!
On behalf of the bridesmaids, Claire and Isla, I would like to thank Steve & Laura for asking us to be a part of your special day – I genuinely hope, and I know that you will be very happy together, please look after him Laura because he struggles to look after himself at times!
So if I could ask you all to join me in a toast – TO THE HAPPY COUPLE, THE BRIDE AND GROOM, STEVE AND LAURA!!”
Now, let’s look at the second example:
Funny Best Man Speech for Brother Example/Template
“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!”
Now, I am going to break this second example down and explain how you too can write something similar if not better than that.
You Have To Start Strong With A Good Introduction
Not only does an impactful introduction make the audience sit up and listen to you, but it also helps alleviate any potential nerves you might have.
A good tip is to induce laughter right from the get-go - after you tell the wedding guests who you are as seen here:
“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...
Then try working in a small joke or a wry observation to get the ice breaking. Once you hear the laughs break out, that will give you the momentum you need to launch into the body of your message.
Thanksgiving Isn’t The Only Time To Give Thanks
A nice gesture would be to extend your thanks to the couples for organizing the event. Then thank your friend or brother for giving you this honor of being his best man.
Afterward, say thank you to the guests for being present.
Have you thought about the groomsmen too? If you are not the only best man, then it makes sense that you express gratitude to them as well.
If you the only guy, you can ‘’thank yourself’’ and that will surely bring the house down. I must emphasize here that I haven’t heard any best man do this though. But if you do, your brother or friend and the wedding guests will not forget what you said.
Now, let’s see…
How To Write The Body Of Your Funny Best Man Speech
Here’s an excerpt to refresh your memory.
‘’…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…’’
Here is your chance to actually tell your best friend or brother the stuff that you’ve always just thought about - so make the most out of it.
Talk about how and where you met him
The kind of person he is
How he’s made a difference to your life,
What you admire the most about him
What he’s taught you
Relate a couple of anecdotes where he’s had your back, talk about shared experiences that have shaped your lives, and narrate touching incidents that have strengthened your bond.
Action Tip: Can you write down responses to those questions and use it to come up with a rough first draft?
Talk About The Bride Too
Take this opportunity to talk about your new sister as well. Whether you’re narrating how your best friend or brother told you he was in love or a heartfelt story about how they met, it’s important for you to talk about them as a couple.
Always speak from the heart - telling the bride how beautiful she looks and how lucky your friend is to have her in his life is a beautiful way of getting those radiant smiles on both faces. Don't forget to praise the bridesmaids too for taking a huge weight off the bride's shoulder.
As you go about it, use metaphors and similes to share your experiences. For instance, you can use a simile to tell the wedding guests how the ‘’gloom’’ felt when he met the bride.
Remember that the spelling of gloom is deliberate here. You too can use it purposefully when you are talking about the groom.
For example, the gloom (oh my goodness, did I say gloom) is perfect for the blide because….
Now, let’s see how to tap into the power of similes.
Here we go (a short example)!
When Mike first met Angela after they had left school, I knew they were destined to be together. My sister was very distrustful of men but he used all the tricks he knew to woo her because she was unyielding like a rock.
Feeling like a disappointed goat, Mike almost gave up but I told him not to because quitters never win and he sure was not one.
He got to know that Angela was like a box of chocolate when he persisted and eventually won her heart.
Notice how I used those similes…like a disappointed goat…and like a box of chocolate… to write that short best man speech? That’s exactly the way to harness smiles to your advantage.
You see, your funny best man speech is more than acknowledging the groom’s presence in your life. It is meant to celebrate the couple on the most important day of their lives. So, if you feel that this is the happiest your friend or brother has ever been, say it.
Thirty years down the line, you’re going to be looking back at some beautiful pictures, timeless smiles, and the memories of a truly unique speech and look back and be thankful that you made the groom proud.
Here’s How To End Your Funny Best Man Speech For Your Brother Or Friend With A Bang
Once you’re done recounting your adventures and addressing the ''amore'' in the room, make sure you end on a strong note. All great speeches have one singular element in common - a memorable ending.
Here are some pointers to help you close on a memorable note.
Did you know that music or a well-known song can make your speech funny? Here's an example:
Most best men try so hard to find some funny words to spice up their messages. But it shouldn’t be so if you pick a soundtrack the guests can sing along to.
Then rehearse it and or even substitute some of the lyrics with your own words. If you can play a musical instrument, that would be great.
Here is what I want you to do now. If you can sing a love song well, why not change the words and end your speech with it.
A touching poem can also serve this purpose. There are so many of them online.
You can dispense marriage advice to the bride and groom if you are married. If you are the father of the groom as well as his best man, you should bring your experience to bear. If you are not married yet, you can just mention what you admire about them and why you think they will make a lovely couple.
Another great idea is to wish them well before you raise your glass for a toast.
Are you a religious person or a Christian or are the couple rooted in faith? If you nodded yes to that, you can end with a bible verse or even a word of prayer from the scripture.
Let’s look at these verses:
Bible verse#1: Psalm 128: Blessed are all who fear the LORD, who walk in his ways. 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 sons will be like olive shoots around your table. Thus is the man blessed who fears the LORD.
Bible verse #2: Romans 12:10 Be devoted to one another in love. Honor one another above yourselves.
Suppose you want to wish the couple well with the first verse, we will end up with this short word of exhortation.
Mike and Linda, God bless you so much for honoring him and bringing us together.
Your marriage has given us a glimpse of the Lord and savior Jesus Christ has for his church and the whole. As you start this union, may you acknowledge him in everything you do and he will always direct your steps.
Scripture says that those who walk in the paths of the Lord will be blessed in everything they do and they will be like olive shoots. My hope and prayer is that in good times and the bad, you will love each other so your lives will bring glory to the God of heaven and earth.
Always remember in your walk together that God brought you together to show others that true love still exists.
P.S: Most best men do this...Have you ever considered it? Want to write and give a great best man wedding speech but can't seem to get started because you don't know the exact words to use or where to start?
Or not too sure if what you intend writing will be well received by the guests?
Let's help you make the groom and your family and friends proud and let the wedding guests say great things about your speech.
Here’s what one nervous person called Glen sent over after the wedding was over.
Hey Dan, I just wanted to thank you once again for the speech you wrote with me. My goal was met afterward, I was told by many "what a beautiful speech" and received a standing ovation. I couldn't have done this without you. God Bless Dan!- Glen, U.S.A

And also imagine the thrill and feeling of excitement and pride you’re going to experience when the audience leaps onto their feet and screams and shouts and even sing your praises.

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.
Oh Ok, How Then Do I Get Started Since I Want To Get On Board Right Away?
After that, we will send you a very short questionnaire to fill out via email! You only have to check your email a few hours after you have made your request.
Then, you fill out the questionnaire sent through your email and please have it sent back to us…

Ways to include humor in your speech and what it takes to do so
Want to write a funny bride's speech? Not too sure how to write a hilarious bride wedding speech without offending anyone? This piece will show you how to use proven ideas and tips to help say what is on your heart without trying so hard.
Before we do, let us look at this story.
The story is told of two young German girls who moved to the United States of America to study.
While there, Annette, the younger of the two dropped out of college because she couldn’t afford to pay her tuition anymore. Being a chef at a local restaurant, her wages was not enough to pay for her education.
Amanda, on the other hand, didn’t go to college at all when they both arrived in the United States. Being an Au-pair helped her to improve her speaking skills.
In time, Annette had a scholarship to study English as a second language for excelling in sports.
Having received her award, she was asked to address some students. Instead of saying Ladies and Gentlemen, thank you very much… she said:’’ Ladies and Gentlemen Spank you vely mush.’’
As she spoke those words, her listeners guffawed, and her tutors couldn’t hide their smiles and she also joined in the fun!
It so happened that Annette was getting her English lessons right. But she was very nervous when she appeared before the audience. She'd never done that before.
Your wedding is a special milestone in your life, and what you say on that day will not only make you respected and admired but, it will speak volumes about your love for the groom.
Granted, very few brides are able to put down their thoughts in an entertaining way.
If you really want to throw the guests off their seats with laughter, then, what I am going to share with you will help you deliver a funny bride speech even if you have not made a little baby giggle with delight.
Before we do, here are a few things you should know. If you are not a naturally funny person or a very endearing character, you can still make headway by figuring out how hilarious speeches are done.
You can get an idea of how to get the right ideas and youtube videos contain plenty of proven ideas you can adapt for your funny bride wedding toast.
By the way, below are two video clips you can watch for inspiration. Just grab your pen and journal or diary and jot down tips and ideas you find really helpful from the clips you are about to watch.

I hope you enjoyed watching the videos as much as I did.
If you are a book worm or not a visually inclined person, then I recommend you rather check out this funny bride wedding speech toast example below:
I thought I’d read a poem. But, the only one I know well is The Dogs Party which, having been taught to me by my late farming father, is highly inappropriate for today.”
Those of you who know me probably aren’t surprised that I wanted to say a few words today – and those of you who know me really well will be surprised if it is only a few words!
I’d like to begin by thanking some very special people:
To my stunningly beautiful daughter, Georgina, I’d like to apologize that my big hat occasion has come first. I want to thank her for loving and valuing Ken and witnessing my marriage to him today. Please accept a small token in memory of the occasion.
To Pam and Ted, whose special year we have hijacked, congratulations on achieving 60 years of marriage! Thank you for making me feel like a valued member of your family, for your many kindnesses, and for being so tolerant of my industrial language.
To Pam and Ted, whose special year we have hijacked, congratulations on achieving 60 years of marriage!
To Neil, my grateful thanks for his superb best man duties which I have every confidence will be executed to an unsurpassable standard. Please accept this small gift as a token of my appreciation.
To dear friends who I don’t see often enough, thank you for coming today it means so much.
And, finally, an enormous thank you to my big sister Pauline. She has come out of retirement to be the unsung heroine of our farming business taking care of our pigs on a daily basis. She is always there for any extravagance I lay at her feet and often at short notice.
Now, a few things about my sister Pauline you need to know first, she was always more elegant and clothes orientated than me so it has probably taken her many years to forget the humiliating walk she and I had to make as little girls, wearing summer frocks and wellington boots because I forgot the bag containing our sandals. On another occasion, her lovely clothes had green stains on them because my pony ate anything she put on the clothesline.
Paul, I don’t say it often enough, thank you. Please accept this small token of appreciation from Ken and me.
Right, having decided to strike a blow towards becoming a 21st-century woman by making a speech at my wedding, I thought I’d read a poem. But, the only one I know well is The Dogs Party which, having been taught to me by my late farming father, is highly inappropriate for today.
Instead, I shall talk a little about my fantastic new husband – doesn’t my sexy, bald bloke scrub up well, eh?
It was a cold and miserable December night when a pathetic figure clutching two suitcases, a shotgun, and a Bowie knife, knocked on the door of my flat in Carmarthen.
Having then agreed to take him in, I realized I was going to have to feed him and the only suitable cooking vessel I had in which to make a lasagne was a 2lbs cake tin! I sat in near silence that evening and watched Ken demolish almost the entire contents of the tin, but he left the green beans. Oh boy, I thought, he’s going to take some feeding.
Later that evening came another knock on my flat door. It was a male colleague who thought I might be lonely. I invited him in and told him he would be welcome to join us for supper but Ken had eaten all the lasagne and there were only beans and he couldn’t eat too many of those because I needed to save some for the next day as Ken had blown my housekeeping budget.
We had a few drinks too many so when it got too late for him to leave we offered him to stay the night. With only having one double bed, he had to bunk in with us. We’d been in bed half an hour or so and there was another knock at the door to my flat.
Ken, armed now with his Bowie knife, went to investigate so I said to my colleague, “Quick, we’re on our own now’s your chance!” He jumped out of bed, ran to the fridge, and ate all the beans!
Thankfully Ken has an appetite for everything that makes up my complicated life and when I brought him to live in my beloved Gower, he fit in like he’d always belonged here.
Regrettably, my Dad didn't meet Ken, but I know he would have approved and liked him especially because he could get electrical things for free.
Regrettably, my Dad didn’t meet Ken, but I know he would have approved and liked him especially because he could get electrical things for free. Safe in this knowledge, after a 14-year courtship, and on yet another dreary winter’s night, I screwed up my courage and asked him to marry me. Thankfully he said yes.
Ken owns a pair of socks that have the definition of his name printed on them. It apparently means ‘noble and kind’. Ken is much more than that, he is everything I could wish for in a husband and I appreciate my good fortune in meeting such a warm-hearted, loving, funny, dependable, and generous man whose values and spirit match mine.
I appreciate my good fortune in meeting such a warm-hearted, loving, funny, dependable, and generous man whose values and spirit match mine.
I am very grateful too that he adores my farm and is prepared to devote his time and energy to its success. He endures the weekly separation my transient working life presents with admirable domesticity and now prepares lasagne for me! He is my rock, my comfort, and my best friend who I love deeply. Ken – I look forward to growing much older with you by my side.
Family and friends will you charge your glasses and please join me in a toast to my new husband Ken!
Can you imagine writing a great bride wedding speech like that one if not better? You can actually do it and I am going to show you how it can be done by breaking that example down bit by bit.
First, let’s look at parts of the introduction and see what actually went into writing that funny bride's speech.
Here you go:
‘….I’d like to begin by thanking some very special people:
To my stunningly beautiful daughter, Georgina, I’d like to apologise that my big hat occasion has come first. I want to thank her for loving and valuing Ken and witnessing my marriage to him today. Please accept a small token in memory of the occasion….To Pam and Ted, whose special year we have hijacked, congratulations on achieving 60 years of marriage!
To Neil, my grateful thanks for his superb best man duties which I have every confidence will be executed to an unsurpassable standard. Please accept this small gift as a token of my appreciation….
And, finally, an enormous thank you to my big sister Pauline. She has come out of retirement to be the unsung heroine of our farming business taking care of our pigs on a daily basis. She is always there for any extravagance I lay at her feet and often at short notice. ‘’
As you have seen from the underlined phrases, the introductory remarks comprise of expressing gratitude to persons who have contributed to making you who you are today as well others who helped plan your wedding day.
Well, I wished this bride had told us her name, but she didn’t. You see, even if you are introduced by the emcee or are the preceding speaker, it makes a lot of sense to let the wedding guests know your name and your relationship with the groom as wedding speech etiquette demands it.
Now, let me ask you this simple question: Which persons do you want to express gratitude to for their love and support over the years?
Hint: You should thank your mother or father(parents) your brothers and sisters, friends, maid of honor or bridesmaid, in-laws, and so on.
Most brides or even wedding speakers, in general, don’t know that the introductory remarks are in two parts: expression gratitude plus remarks that will grab hearts more convincingly.
A lot of people hold this view that most bride wedding speeches are not very entertaining. That’s true because a whole lot of them don’t start with a bang.
If you are not going to start on a bright note, you will be reinforcing their long-held beliefs and they will tune out even if the rest of your toast is like music to the ears.
This afternoon, I want to share with you some tips and ideas you can use to get everyone’s attention.
First, you can dive right in by sharing a story of how you met the groom. This is an extremely popular approach used by the majority of brides.
Second, you can burst out into a song almost everyone can sing along to and your speech will be very memorable.
Third, you can start on a heartfelt by using love or friendship quotes like these ones:
“There is no greater happiness for a man than approaching a door at the end of a day knowing someone on the other side of that door is waiting for the sound of his footsteps.”- Ronald Reagan
“When I saw you, I fell in love, and you smiled because you knew.”-Arrigo Boito
“One day, in your search for happiness, you discover a partner by your side, and you realize that your happiness has come to help you search.”-Robert Brault
“I love her and that’s the beginning and end of everything.” The Great Gatsby
“The greatest thing you’ll ever learn is just to love and be loved in return.” Moulin Rouge
Now, let’s see how we can use one of them to come up with a short bride speech example. I prefer using Reagan’s quote:
“There is no greater happiness for a man than approaching a door at the end of a day knowing someone on the other side of that door is waiting to hear the sound of his footsteps.”
Watch me carefully to see how I do it.
A wise man said that there is no greater happiness for a woman than knowing someone on the other side of that door is waiting to hear the sound of her footsteps. That’s so true. But it’s actually funny how that played out in my own life while returning home from work one late summer afternoon. As I was approaching a door leading to...
Don’t you think that will be enough to arouse the curiosity of the wedding attendees? Did you notice I made the quote mine by substituting a few words here and there without calling attention to the author of that quote?
I did that on purpose because I wanted to make those lines very personal. That is how it should be done in case you decide to start with something witty.
Fourth, you may kick off with a funny poem.
Fifth, if your husband is from another country where English is a second language and his family will be coming or watching the live feed, you can learn to simply greet them in their own language and you will get some good laughs out of that.
Now, let’s see how to write the content or body of your funny bride wedding speech.
As usual, let’s see snippets of it to guide us along the way.
‘’ It was a cold and miserable December night when a pathetic figure clutching two suitcases, a shotgun, and a Bowie knife, knocked on the door of my flat in Carmarthen.
Having then agreed to take him in, I realized I was going to have to feed him and the only suitable cooking vessel I had in which to make a lasagne was a 2lbs cake tin!’’
Oh my goodness, this bride's speech really made me laugh and I especially love the narration of meeting him and having to feed him afterward.
Did you enjoy it, too? It is one of the best bride wedding speech toast I have ever heard or read and quite different than a whole lot of most speeches given by brides to their grooms.
By the way, here are some ideas to help you put together the content or body of your bride’s speech for your handsome.
Once again, please grab a pen and paper and write down answers to the following questions to help you draft the structure of your speech.
Where did you meet him?
How did you meet him?
What drew him to your side?
What were the early years like?
What are some fun moments you wish to share?
Why do you really love him?
Are there any challenges you faced? Sharing that can make your toast very memorable.
What are your promises to the groom?
Now, this is what I want you to do now. Write as many points as you can remember right from the very first time you met him till he went down on one knee. Since you are going to make a funny wedding speech, you have to dwell on bringing up funny memories about the time you have spent together.
Afterward, pour out your personal thoughts and emotions onto a paper. At first, it might look messy, but don’t worry at all about that because you can always go back to edit it until you are completely happy with it.
Please note: Don’t force it if there’s no humor about your story. Just pick a style you are comfortable with and everyone will appreciate you for doing a great job.
Depending on your personality, you can choose to write in a witty style, intelligent, dramatic, tender, poetic, rhythmic, or even narrative as the guests are able to relate to your speech if you go for a style that reflects who you truly are and not what you think the guests will like you to do.
Once again, let’s see parts of the conclusion so we can figure out how to write a memorable ending since a very good one will more than likely remain in the minds of the wedding guests for years on end.
‘’ I appreciate my good fortune in meeting such a warm-hearted, loving, funny, dependable, and generous man…..
I am very grateful too that he adores my farm and is prepared… He is my rock, my comfort, and my best friend who I love deeply. Ken – I look forward to growing much older with you by my side.
Family and friends will you charge your glasses and please join me in a toast to my new husband Ken!''
As you can see, the ending of any bride's speech is just as important as its introduction. Yet, most brides don’t attach too much importance to it because they either don’t know the essence of it or are clueless about writing one.
These few pointers can help you write something the groom, your family, and friends won’t forget anytime soon.
First, you can close by stating why you love him.
Second, you can end by telling everyone how you complement each other. Below is an example:
I think Dan and I complement each other very well. Dan is like a robot. He is hard-working, conscientious, and is always up for a challenge. And I often am that challenge.
Did you see how I compare their different personalities?
Third, you can end with a poem about love. Here is one by Mr. Unknown
I can't promise you that dark clouds will never hover over our lives or that the future will bring us any rainbows. I can't promise you that tomorrow will be perfect or that life will be easy. I can promise you my everlasting devotion, my loyalty, my respect, and my unconditional love for a lifetime. I can promise that I'll always be here for you, to listen and to hold your hand, and I'll always do my best to make you happy, and make you feel loved. I can promise that I'll see you through any crisis, and pray with you, dream with you, build with you, and always cheer you on. I can promise that I'll willingly be your protector, your advisor, your counselor, your friend, your family, your everything. I promise you.
— Unknown
Can you personalize that? You better try…It’s not a tough job.
Here’s an example based on that poem.
Like every marriage, I know we will have our low and high moments,
So I promise to always love you, honor you….
Fourth, you can simply state why you are looking forward to with him in the coming years.
Fifth, you can make good use of bible quotes to write a faith-based bride speech if you are a religious person or a Christian. Here are some scriptures you can use if you are a believer.
Ephesians 5:25-‘’ Husbands, love your wives, as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her’’
Proverbs 12:4 – “An excellent wife is the crown of her husband, but she who shames him is as rottenness in his bones.” Marriage is a life-long covenant between a man and a woman to live as one flesh, for their mutual benefit, and for the bearing of children.
Ephesians 5:22-33- ‘’Wives, submit to your own husbands, as to the Lord. For the husband is the head of the wife even as Christ is the head of the church, his body, and is himself its Savior. Now as the church submits to Christ, so also wives should submit in everything to their husbands. Husbands, love your wives, as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her, that he might sanctify her, having cleansed her by the washing of water with the word.’’
Psalm 128: 1- ‘’Blessed are all who fear the LORD, who walk in his ways. 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 sons will be like olive shoots around your table. Thus is the man blessed who fears the LORD.’’
Sixth, if you really want to make your speech one to remember, you can sing your closing lines. For example, you can write why you love the groom and sing and dance to the beat of a well-known song.
Finally, you can end with any of these promises about your commitment to the marriage. Below are some quotes from movies and TV episodes you can use to write your vows or promises to the special man in your life.
Rachel Getting Married: Rachel and Sidney
Rachel: You are just so full of grace, and I promise before God and these beautiful people that I will love you fiercely and sweetly. And I look forward to sharing this great life with you. Thank you for marrying me.
Sidney: All that I ever wanted was to just hear music, and when I met you, I heard you. And, Rachel, you're the most beautiful thing I've ever heard. Thank you for marrying me.
Madea's Family Reunion: Vanessa and Frankie
Vanessa: I never thought that I could meet someone like you. You are my friend. You are my smile. You are my everything. You are a breathtaking reflection of God's heart for me...of how he pursued me and loved me even when I didn't love myself. You held my hand in the darkness, and you pulled me out into the light. I love you.
Frankie: You are my light. And it doesn't matter what happens in this life as long as you're with me. When I look at you, I know that there's a God and that he loved me so much that he took the time to create you just for me. I love you...past my mind...beyond my heart...I love you for my soul. And that's the space where only you and God dwell.
The Vow: Paige and Leo
Paige: I vow to help you love life, to always hold you with tenderness, and to have the patience that love demands. To speak when words are needed and to share the silence when they are not. To agree to disagree on red velvet cake, and to live within the warmth of your heart and always call it home.
Leo: I vow to fiercely love you in all of your forms, now and forever. I promise to never forget this is a once in a lifetime love. And to always know in the deepest part of my soul that no matter what challenges might carry us apart, we will always find our way back to each other.
P.S: Most brides do this...Have you ever considered it? 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 the groom and your family and friends proud and let the wedding guests say great things about your speech.

Ways to include humor in your speech and what it takes to do so
Won’t you be glad if your maid of honor speech made your friend or sister proud and happy? And won’t you be so happy if you could say what you want to say without trying so hard? How about receiving several complimentary remarks from the wedding guests after you are done speaking confidently?
It is the desire of every maid of honor to say what she wants to say confidently. But as you know that won't just happen because you first have to write a great script and practice it until it comes to you naturally.
Well, despite what is going on through your mind, you can still give a maid speech that will leave everyone speechless if you let go of your beliefs about speaking in public and believe that you can.
In this piece, I will show you all that you have to do if you want to calm your nerves and say what's on your mind with poise on the bride's big day.
There are five stages you have to walk through to get a nice speech written.
The first stage is the
MENTAL PREPARATORY STAGE
This is the stage where you get rid of everything that acts as a barrier in your life. One thing that draws us back as humans are doubt and low self-esteem.
How you see yourself will determine how far you go in life. Do you see yourself as someone successful? Or you see yourself as a failure? Whatever picture you have in your mind will determine what you get out of life.
Granted, many maids don’t really believe in their own abilities, and that undermines their ability to perform when they are called to say what they know about their friend or sister. It stands then to reason that you need to have faith in yourself because you are the only people who know your friend or sister intimately.
Don’t let your past experiences prevent you from doing well. Remember, the wedding is a different ball game and if you believe you can make it, and then nothing can stop you from achieving success.
You are probably nervous because you don’t believe you can. Get rid of that ''fog'' in your mind and tell yourself that you can change your world and you will wow the guests with an amazing performance.
The second stage you have to look at is
INQUIRY STAGE
This is a critical part of your performance. It is also known as the preparatory stage. Where you have to ask yourself a lot of questions. By doing so, you will get the answers you need to help you craft your maid of honor speech.
Here are such questions and you need to write your answers on a sheet of paper
What am I going to say?
How can I say it best?
How am I going to write my speech?
Who will help me write my speech?
Where can I get ideas to help me write my speech?
How do I know if my message will be accepted by the wedding guests or not?
I know some of these questions are on your mind as you read. Take heart and don’t be afraid because I will teach you what to do next.
If you have got answers to the above questions, then you will be in a position to get your speech written.
If you want to say what you want to say in the correct outline, then you have to grab speech samples because they contain ideas, tips, professionally written speech samples, and other tools to help you achieve your goals.
You can also use jokes and even stories to help you write your speech. In case, you decide to use a joke or story, then their contents should be connected to your message or it will backfire.
Again, you can share some anecdotes about your friend or sister. Sit back and reflect on such true tales of you and the bride. It could something memorable you encountered at a birthday party, a wedding reception, or when you were growing up.
Make sure you list as many ideas that fly in your head because you never know which one might help you flow smoothly when you start to write.
Before you grab your pen to write, you should incubate your ideas. Incubation of ideas is to simply meditate on the ideas you've come up with in your head and critically study a couple of maid speech examples till you are well acquainted with how such speeches are written.
Then, write your speech and you did be amazed at effortlessly you write. You then begin with the introduction, which is fairly easy to write. The answers to the questions you wrote earlier should help you write your body and the toast.
The next stage is
THE POST WRITING STAGE
This is the stage that involves re-writing, editing and re-editing. Don’t worry if you don’t like the way it is written after you've gotten your first draft. Keep on cutting it down and it will come out the way you want it.
After you are done, you can shelf it for a day or two, and come back to it and prune it one more time. Alternatively, you can ask someone you trust to review it but make sure, that person doesn’t alter the contents in any way.
And finally, the last stage is
THE PRE- PERFORMANCE STAGE
At this point, you have to read over your refined speech till you know it like ABC. Then you can go ahead and rehearse your wedding speech till the confidence in you comes out. But you don’t have to stop there. Keep on doing that till you are super confident because consistent performance kills poor performance.
Do you really believe in the popular saying that a friend in need is a friend indeed?
If you really believe in that, then you have no choice but to make your friend or sister proud.
This is the chance to prove to the bride that you really love her.
We can help you make your friend or sister proud and the wedding guests say great things about your speech.
Here’s what one nervous person called Glen sent over after the wedding was over.
Hey Dan, I just wanted to thank you once again for the speech you wrote with me. My goal was met afterward, I was told by many "what a beautiful speech" and received a standing ovation. I couldn't have done this without you. God Bless Dan!- Glen, U.S.A

Ways to include humor in your speech and what it takes to do so
Since first impressions count a lot, it stands then to reason that you should put a great deal of thought and effort into how you open your message since you can never ever have a second chance to make a first impression.
Besides capturing the attention of the wedding guests engaging them on a personal level, a heart-warming introduction certainly has the power to break the ice and relieve you from stress and nervous tension.
How Then Do You Do Write An Intro That Speaks To The Heart?
First, you can decide to make your introduction very humorous.
Most moms I have worked with, prefer giving hilarious remarks at the start of their speeches.
Good evening ladies and gentlemen, thanks for coming from all the continents of the world to be with us today. Thanks from the bottles of my heart.(Comments: the deliberate use of ‘’bottles’’ as though your tongue slipped when you really wanted to say bottom. This is to make the guests laugh)
Now, let us identify what made the speech funny. You would find out that the use of the word bottles makes it so. Can you imagine any other way to make an introduction rib-cracking?
Have you ever been to a comedy show where the humorist made you feel very happy? You might notice that several things about that performer made your day.
It could have been the way he walked on stage or how he was even dressed.
Sometimes, your words alone cannot make the wedding guests excited but how you appear on stage and what you appear with can make all the difference.
I recently wrote a speech for this woman from Australia and she asked me to add some funny lines even though the information she supplied wasn’t too interesting.
She told me her daughter hated seeing insects, so as I thought of how best to make her speech funny, I had this brainwave.
This is what I told her. Abigail, why don’t you wrap and present an insecticide spray to the groom and tell him to use it kill all those nasty and horrible bugs.
Believe it or not, our plan worked and the guests loved every bit of her humor.
These Ideas Will Make The Guests Say You Are The Best Speaker
For example, you can walk upstage in a rather bizarre wig or wear an unusual high-heeled shoes and you will bring the house down before you even say something about your daughter and son –in-law.
Please try it because it is one perfect way of engaging your audience.
Another way of opening your speech is by turning your speech into a song.
To put your speech in song, you simply write your speech from scratch and learn to sing it if you have a good voice.
Or you can model your speech-song based on a popular song you know of like this one: Martina McBride’s "In My Daughter's Eyes
Okay, here are the lyrics to help you sing along.
Lyrics
In my daughter's eyes I am a hero I am strong and wise And I know no fear
But the truth is plain to see She was sent to rescue me I see who I want to be In my daughter's eyes
In my daughter's eyes
Everyone is equal Darkness turns to light And the world is at peace This miracle God gave to me Gives me strength when I am weak I find reason to believe In my daughter's eyes
And when she wraps her hand around my finger How it puts a smile in my heart Everything becomes a little clearer
I realize what life is all about It's hanging on when your heart is had enough It's giving more when you feel like giving up I've seen the light It's in my daughter's eyes
In my daughter's eyes I can see the future A reflection of who I am and what will be And though she'll grow and someday leave
Maybe raise a family When I'm gone I hope you'll see How happy she made me For I'll be there In my daughter's eyes
Let’s see how to do just that based on a song written by any musician.
First, let’s see Martina McBride’s "In My Daughter's Eyes" and then I will show you how to get something written out of her lyrics.
Please note: To get something memorable out of this song, you need to tweak it a bit to suit whatever you want to say.
But first look it up online and see how she sings this beautiful song so you can get an idea of how to go about it.
Now, watch me while I change some of the words in her song to write a wedding speech you can really sing.
P.S: You may scroll up this page and press the play button and review the brief piece below carefully.
Ok, enough said, let’s dive right in.
Good afternoon ladies and gentlemen, I am Amy, mom of the bride.
My eyes are filled with tears of joy as my daughter leaves to start her own.(beat in the background to accompany song)
In her eyes, I was a heroine.
I was the strongest and wisest person she ever knew
But the truth is God was preparing another hero for her.
He was sent to rescue her when God saw I was growing old and she needed someone to love and cherish her like I do.
In her eyes, I see joy and happiness.
But mine is full of tears because she’s gone to be with that special person she loves and cares for deeply.
But I don’t have to worry because I believe in her new guardian.
(Insert groom’s name here For example….Dan told me that being with my precious baby girl makes him feel like God is so near and it conquers his fears.
So I find a reason to believe in my daughter’s eyes because it gives me the strength to carry on knowing an angel is holding her back.
Can you write something like that using your favorite song or even with Martina’s? Don’t say you can because it’s not very hard at all.
You may also use this mother of the bride speech song.
This short mother of the bride speech can inspire you to write a message you can sing or recite like a poem.
Just believe you can and you will be pleasantly surprised that you too can write a beautiful mother of the bride speech that will you earn lots of compliments from your daughter, family and everyone.
What are you waiting for? Your daughter will be counting on you to say something very special about her and you owe her the love she deserves on her big day.
P.S: Can you come up with a great speech like the one above? As the mother of the bride, everyone will be on the lookout for your great speech and you can't let the bride and her husband, friends, and family down by giving an ordinary speech.
You certainly owe it to your loving daughter to come up with an incredible speech.
If the thought of giving a great wedding speech is hanging over you like a death sentence, then you have to follow this simple plan that's guaranteed to help you write a great mom speech like the one you read above.
Claire was quite skeptical when she came to us but we kept assuring what she will make her son and family proud-and this is what she sent over after the wedding was over.
'' Hello Dan, their wedding went very well. The usual stress beforehand for the couple organizing the event but all things to do went so smoothly. I also like to say that I'm so proud of my speech, almost got a standing ovation, lol! I'm so glad I've found you. I will definitely recommend you to my friends and family for future weddings. I wish you the very best.''- Claire, New Zealand

Ways to include humor in your speech and what it takes to do so
Have you ever wondered what makes all things possible on earth? I know a lot of things are going through your mind as you ponder about the question asked.
As you might know, words have a very powerful way of influencing the course of events and even determining what we get out of life. So, always make sure you think good thoughts as it will either make your life better or bitter.
A positive mental attitude will go a long way to ensuring that you develop the inner strength and resilience you need to speak confidently.
That said, let's look at this great father of the bride speech sample by a revered royal so you can write a heartfelt father of the bride's speechwithout trying so hard.
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.
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.

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 has 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 daughters are still getting married and asking their fathers to give speeches.
Nonetheless, not every father 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 your daughter’s 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 your daughter and son-in-law 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 your daughter’s big day is in the future by simply paying what you want after you get your beautiful speech.
Oh Ok, How Then Do I Get Started Since I Want To Get On Board Right Away?
After that, we will send you a very short questionnaire to fill out via email! You only have to check your email a few hours after you have made your request
Then, you fill out the questionnaire sent through your email, and please have it sent back to us…
We will confirm receipt of it…If something is not too clear, we will ask you to clarify….

Then, you look it over and tell us if you are okay with it or you want to amend or revise it till you are happy with it--although we always get it right even with the first draft.
Then, we ask you to pay for it.
Please note: The information collected through the questionnaire is only for the purpose of writing your speech. I wouldn’t even need it if I could read your mind. So, your information is very confidential and no one will know about it.
Just a reminder of what you pay after it’s duly completed. You simply pay what you want after you’ve got your beautiful speech.
