A Short Bride Speech Sample
Good evening and thank you so much for coming to support us. To my dad, my mom, and my friends. To my in-laws and to everyone here, I am extremely honored to see you here. For those of you who don’t me, I am Cindy and the cute man sitting right there is my last boyfriend and my new husband.
A wise man once said that no man( in my case no woman) is an island. Well, I didn’t really understand that until I met Mike a few years ago. I had gone through lots of ups and downs in my life and I never thought I would ever find a guy who really loved me and cared for me.
After pursuing my P.H.D, I found a good job and life was good in my opinion.
Unfortunately, as the years rolled by, I lived like a nun in a convent. There was no man in my life. I felt this lonely emptiness within and I sometimes wondered if I would ever find a very caring man to love and care for me as every woman deserves.
And so, when Mike came into my life, I experienced a deep sense of joy that flowed through my heart like a never flowing stream.
After Mike had left medical school, he told me of his desire to marry me. But I turned down his proposal. But, he didn't give up. Well, Mike has been my friend for almost 5 years now but I must admit that I just wanted to know if he was the right guy for me and I was the right lady for him. I am someone who believes in the sanctity of marriage and I just didn’t want anyone to mess me up.
Wanting to impress me, he sent me a flower on Valentine’s Day.
And on my 28th birthday, he gifted me another special gift. To cut a long story short, we wined and dined on that same birthday and he came over when everyone had left.
I remember we talked for close to 3 hours and he was drenched in sweat. Worse still, his voice grew rather hoarse as he held my hands, got on one knee, and asked: ‘’ Cindy, I think we belong to each other forever. I want to marry you? I love you so much’'
Afterward, he breathed a big sigh of relief as though he had won a marathon in record time. Today, the story is different. He’s relaxed but I am rather drenched in sweat as I make my bride speech.
Kidding aside, I feel like a princess on this beautiful day and I couldn’t hold back tears. I knew right there and then that Mike would be my husband.
Thanks for marrying me, Mike. Your proposal took my breadth and of course my brains away. Far away…''
It’s an extraordinary thing to meet someone to who you can bear your soul and accept you for what you are. I’ve been waiting, for what seems like an eternity to find someone like you.
With you, I have my peace of mind. Thank you so much for giving me hope and showing me that true love still exists.
I always thought that there was this one perfect person for everybody in the world and when I found you, i knew you were that special person for me. Every moment spent with you is a moment I treasure.
Whenever I'm alone with you
You make me feel so happy
Now, we are best friends for life and we will have to cross so many rivers and climb hills to get to where we want to be. But, I know we will get there because you are my guiding light.
I promise to love you no matter what and I know you will have my back till the end of time. Mike, I love you more than these words can describe.
That was quite sentimental, right/ As you can see from that touching bride speech, there are three parts of every speech: introduction, body, and conclusion.
The introductory remarks set the tone for the rest of the speech. Sadly enough, most brides don’t engage the guests right from the start.
But you have to do your very best to make sure it is right from the onset because there’s nothing sweeter than grabbing the attention of the audience from the start.
A short-self introduction and expression of gratitude to family and friends form the nucleus of this part of your presentation as you can see below:
''Good evening and thank you so much for coming to support us. To my dad, my mom, and my friends. To my in-laws and to everyone here, I am extremely honored to see you here. For those of you who don’t me, I am Cindy and the cute man sitting right there is my last boyfriend and my new husband. ''
Well, I want to show you a couple of ideas you can employ the attention of the audience as soon as you are called to speak.
First, you can simply state your love story by explaining how you both met.
Second, you can start with a love or marriage quote.
‘’ I always dreamed of meeting a man like you.’’
“Where there is love there is life.” – Mahatma Gandhi
“You know you’re in love when you can’t fall asleep because reality is finally better than your dreams.”
– Dr. Seuss
Being deeply loved by someone gives you strength while loving someone deeply gives you courage.”
– Lao Tzu
When I saw you I fell in love, and you smiled because you knew.”
– Arrigo Boito
Let’s see the underlined quote above to write a captivating opener.
Here is a short and sweet example.
A wise man once said when there’s love, there is life. I really never understood what that meant until I met Mike five years ago in my sophomore year of college. It’s funny how we met…….
Did you see how I wrote that? Can you write something similar if not better? You sure can. You better give it a try my friend.
Third, you can start with a song. That will definitely endear you to the wedding guests and your presentation will remain in the minds of the listeners for very a long time to come. If you have a good singing voice, you can parody your opening lines after a well-known love song everyone can sing along like this wonderful lady did on her wedding day.
Let me ask you this: Do you want to do that and do you think you can do that convincingly? If so, please give it a try and your bride's speech will be very memorable.
Now, let us see how to put together your scattered thoughts and emotions into a beautiful bride speech.
First, let us recapture parts of the body of our bride's speech example to guide us along the way.
'' I had gone through lots of ups and downs in my life and I never thought I would ever find a guy who really loved me and cared for me.
After pursuing my P.H.D, I found a good job and life was good in my opinion.
Unfortunately, as the years rolled by, I lived like a nun in a convent. There was no man in my life. I felt this lonely emptiness within and I sometimes wondered if I would ever find a very caring man to love and care for me as every woman deserves.
And so, when Mike came into my life, I experienced a deep sense of joy that flowed through my heart like a never flowing stream... ''
Did you notice how that was written? To come up with the structure for the body of your bride wedding speech, there are a few pointers you need to know.
Part of making a great bride wedding speech is picking a style and that's what you should really consider before you even put your thoughts and ideas down on paper.
Depending on who you are, you can choose to wax poetic, write in a dramatic tone, make a funny bride speech, write something sentimental or even decide to combine all different branches to make your bride's speech unique.
After you have picked your style, write down in your journal how you want your speech to sound like and stick to it.
To get the right ideas for the content of your body or storyline, you have to cast your mind back to when you first met the groom and put down answers to the following questions.
- Where did you meet him?
- When did you first meet him?
- What drew him to your side on your first date?
- What were or are his beautiful qualities that won your heart?
- When did you realize he was the one you would be getting married to?
- Did you face any challenges when you were dating or courting?
- Any special milestones you achieved together?
- Any funny memories you wish to add to your bride's speech?
- How did you feel when he popped the question?
- Why do you really love him?
- Why is he a very special man?
- How do you balance him out?
- What are you looking forward to as you build your lives together?
The issue here facing most brides is weaving together all those years of fond memories into an amazing bride's wedding speech.
Here is what I would advise you to do. Write down lots of memories starting from when you first met him right to when your wedding plans got underway and decide which ones you want to include in your final script and which story ideas you want to use for say the rehearsal dinner speech or bridal shower if you choose to speak at different venues.
I know most people often wonder how long the bride's speech should be.
There are many schools of thought that advocate short and sweet bride speeches. I wish every bride's speech could make be sweet like honey and short like time. Unfortunately, not every bride has the skill to deliver a brief and engaging wedding toast.
However, there’s nothing wrong with giving a long bride speech as long as it’s pleasant to the ear like listening to good music. I personally wrote an 8 minutes long speech for a very glamorous bride last year and she and the wedding guests were happy with it. So you shouldn’t be so fixated on the length of your speech.
That being said, once you figure out the stories you want to use, sit down, and put your ideas together quickly. It might look messy on paper. But you don’t have to worry about that at all.
You can still go back and edit it until it sounds the way you want it to.
Now, let us go back to the bride's speech examples and see how you can be inspired to write the closing lines of your bride toast.
Again, let’s look at portions of it to help us make real progress.
''With you, I have my peace of mind. Thank you so much for giving me hope and showing me that true love still exists.
I always thought that there was this one perfect person for everybody in the world and when I found you, i knew you were that special person for me. Every moment spent with you is a moment I treasure...I promise to love you no matter what and I know you will have my back till the end of time. Mike, I love you more than these words can describe. ''
Guess what? That was the writers’ promise to his husband and that is often how most brides express themselves.
You can do that too by listing five promises you want to make to the groom. Never make it all lighthearted because vows are a serious commitment to your partner. So, you should strike a fair balance here.
Second, you can end with a beautiful love or marriage quotes. Here are a few good ones you may use.
“If I know what love is, it is because of you.” – Hermann Hesse
Your love shines in my heart as the sun that shines upon the earth.” – Eleanor Di Guillo
Each day I love you more, today more than yesterday and less than tomorrow.” – Rosemonde Gerard
No matter where I went, I always knew my way back to you. You are my compass star.” — Diana Peterfreund
Loved you yesterday, love you still, always have, always will.” – Elaine Davis
Now, let us the underlined quote above to say something sweet to the groom.
Each day I love you more, today more than yesterday and less than tomorrow.”
We have gone through a lot already. But I want you to know that I will love you more each day until the end of time.
Third, if you are a person of faith or a deeply religious person, then you can use a couple of verses from the bible. Some scripture references you can use include the following.
James 1:17
New International Version
17 Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows.
Proverbs 18:22 - He who finds a wife finds a good thing and obtains favor from the Lord.
1 Corinthians 13:4-7 - Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth. Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.
Proverbs 19:14 - House and wealth are inherited from fathers, but a prudent wife is from the Lord.
Ephesians 5:25 ~ Husbands, love your wives, as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her
Fourth, you may use a wedding poem to climax it beautifully. Here is one you can use to bring down the curtain. Please take note of the underlined lines.
The Gift — Pam Brown
“In you are flowers and firelight,
stars and songbirds,
the scent of summer,
the stillness just before dawn.
I love you today,
dressed in glory.
I will love you always-
dancing, singing, reading, making, planning, arguing.
I will love you cantankerous, and tired,
courageous and in terror,
joyful, fearful and triumphant.
I will love you through all weathers and all change.
For all you are is precious to me.
And every day I live with you
and share your love
is a gift to me.”
Can you use that poem to write a short bride's speech? It’s simple. I am going to use the underlined words to capture your feelings as you close your speech.
I love how you sing and dance to make me happy when I am so down. You make me feel like a truly happy princess even on my bad days and I promise to love you every day of my life because you are God’s best gift to me. I love you so much.
You can simply wrap with a toast or share what you look forward to in the coming years.
A Wedding Toast — James Bertolino
“May your love be firm,
And may your dream of a life together
be a river between two shores
by day bathed in sunlight, and by night
illuminated from within. May the heron
carry news of you to the heavens, and the salmon bring
the sea’s blue grace.
May your twin thoughts spiral upward
like leafy vines, like fiddle strings in the wind,
and be as noble as the Douglas fir.
May you never find yourselves back to back
without love pulling you around
into each other’s arms.”
