Do You Know You’re An Amazing Mom?
Writer Helen Steiner Ricet, said something profound about moms’ love for her child.
She said that a mother’s love is something that no one can explain, it’s made of deep devotion and sacrifice and pain, it’s endless and unselfish and enduring come what may for nothing can destroy it or take that love away.

As you’re well aware, most wedding speeches by moms of the groom are very uninspiring and you can’t put the blame on anyone because you need to have the skill or talent to come up with something unique and heartfelt.
Mary Made Her Son Proud And You Can Too If…
Here at standing ovation, we are often asked by so many mothers from around the world for help whenever they want to make their sons proud with beautiful mom of the groom's speeches.
Not too long ago, Mary (not her real name) wrote to us when she wanted to give a beautiful speech that captured her exact thoughts and emotions, and the following speech is what we helped her come up with.
After the event, she wrote back saying that hers was the best at the wedding reception even though she had never given a speech her whole life.
Well, we sought her permission to use it to help other moms give touching speeches without trying so hard.
So, please sit back, relax, and let’s first see it in its entirety.
Then, then we can break down each element of her speech so you too can use the ideas gleaned to give a super memorable mom of the groom's speech.
Below is the complete speech sample. Please read it carefully and make notes.
Good evening and thanks, everyone.
Thanks so much for coming to share in the joy and joining of John and Ruth. I am Mary, John's mom. Thanks so much for your support, kind words and generosity.
Before I get started, I wanted to take time to thank everyone for helping John and Ruth plan a fantastic. I know it wasn’t easy, but thank God we have a pretty easy going couple to work with…right?
I also want to thank my sister Evelyn and her husband Jerry for all the hard work they did to make this night amazing.
Their marriage brings back nostalgic memories of when Dan and I got married in 1980.
As a couple, one of our proudest moments was when we had John, our charming prince. His birth brought so much joy, peace and a sense of belonging.
My mind goes back to when several times at night, I’d wake up and look into his beautiful, smiling eyes and be completely overwhelmed with a sense of wonder, joy, and responsibility for my extraordinary child.
Growing up, John loved to do rap music, play hockey and write poetry. I’ll never forget how proud I felt when he wrote a mother’s day poem saying how proud he was to have me as his mom.
John, you asked me in that poem how I managed to do it all by myself. Many times, I’d wake up when you were fast asleep wondering how I was going to raise you both when your dad passed on and that brought me to tears so many times.
I must say it’s been by the grace of God. Plus it has taken the blood, toil, and sweat of an entire village to make you who you really are.
Take Jerry who had to sacrifice so much of his time and energy and finances to keep our bodies and soul together.
But, I must admit that raising you and Alex hasn't been a smooth ride at all. Just look at my hair if that doesn’t tell you something.
Each day came with his own challenges but I was determined to lay down my life for you so you could become a successful man.
Today is the day to rejoice in knowing that my dreams for you have come true.
Today is the day to rejoice in knowing you are getting married to this beautiful woman Ruth.
Thanks for being there for me and I am going to miss being at the gym with you. I love you so much.
Ruth thanks a lot for being there for John and the entire family all along. I love you and want to thank you for bringing out the best in him. I admire your sense of honesty, empathy, and integrity and I trust that you are going to be an amazing wife and mom.
On this note, I’d like to welcome you and your family into our hearts and home. We love you so much.
Today is a very special day for making memories and celebrating your love for each other. I know you have had your own relationship challenges already but I admire how your
collective sense of purpose and willingness to hold on has kept your hearts still ablaze with love's refining fire.
That to me is very crucial to building a formidable marriage.
Marriage is a test of real love and you should expect both good and bad times, including some rough storms. Riding through these storms together, leaning on each other for strength and courage as allies, strengthens the marriage bonds.
As long as you weather the storms together, your marriage will endure. No matter what, keep your sense of humor and you’ll make it through these storms just fine, with love
So, don't forget to still love -it -out so your love for each other grows so strong each and every day.
May you come to love each other like never before and may you grow in love so
your kids can feel the warmth that comes from your tender hearts.
I wish you well and God bless you.
By the way, I found this video also inspiring and you can watch it to get a few ideas from that clip because videos can get put you in the mood for the creative expression of your ideas.
Well, if you want to get to the bottom of the story, then you can simply skip it and scroll down further so you and I can review the free sample I just gave you.
Now, let’s look at how the parts of that example were written.
Please go grab your pen and paper and put down any ideas and words you think can help make the writing process a breeze.
First, let’s look at the introduction or opening remarks.
Start of Her Wedding Speech
Good evening and welcome everyone.
Thanks so much for coming to share in the joy and joining of John and Ruth. I am Mary, John's mom. Thanks so much for your support, kind words, and generosity.
Before I get started, I wanted to take time to thank everyone for helping John and Ruth plan a fantastic. I know it wasn’t easy, but thank God we have a pretty easy going couple to work with…right?
I also want to thank my sister Evelyn and her husband Jerry for all the hard work they did to make this night amazing.
As you may know, the opening remark of any speech has the power to do two main things:
- Capture the attention of the wedding guests and
- Relieve you from nervous tension
Again, it comprises elements like greetings and a short self-presentation and expression of gratitude as you can see above.
It’s so surprising that some moms grab the microphone and they don’t bother to tell everyone who they are.
You don’t have to take that for granted even if it’s a small wedding because not everyone might know who you are.
Having done that, you can thank everyone for coming but you have to acknowledge key persons who have helped you raise your son.
For example, I would like to take this moment to thank Mike and Lisa – my parents – who helped both Alex and I get a strong start in life, and for the love and support all these years.
I would like to give a shout out to Aunt Murry -- who was unable to make it today – who cared for Tyson when I started college.
I am also grateful to Parks – my daughter’s father. He entered Dan’s life when he was 5 and has been an important part of his life. Many things Dan enjoys, from fly fishing to sushi, are a result of Park's influence.
Now, let’s move on to another part of the speech.
Their marriage brings back nostalgic memories of when Dan and I got married in 1980.
As a couple, one of our proudest moments was when we had John, our charming prince.
His birth brought so much joy, peace, and a sense of belonging.
My mind goes back to when several times at night, I’d wake up and look into his beautiful, smiling eyes and be completely overwhelmed with a sense of wonder, joy, and responsibility for my extraordinary child.
(comment/take-home writing ideas)- Another key thing that makes all speeches beautiful is when you include fond memories.
Memories like how you felt when your baby boy was born particularly if it’s a good one. So, this is what I would encourage you to do right now precious mom.
Ask yourself how the early years were like. If he’s your first child, then you can recall how he made you a very proud mom or how he filled your life with a sense of joy and belonging and put that down.
Now, let’s consider another aspect of it.
Growing up, John loved to do rap music, play hockey and write poetry.
I’ll never forget how proud I felt when he wrote a mother’s day poem saying how proud he was to have me as his mom.
John, you asked me in that poem how I managed to do it all by myself. Many times, I’d wake up when you were fast asleep wondering how I was going to raise you both when your dad passed on and that brought me to tears so many times.
I must say it’s been by the grace of God. Plus it has taken the blood, toil, and sweat of an entire village to make you who you really are.
Take Jerry who had to sacrifice so much of his time and energy and finances to keep our bodies and soul together.
But, I must admit that raising you and Alex hasn't been a smooth ride at all. Just look at my hair if that doesn’t tell you something.
Each day came with his own challenges but I was determined to lay down my life for you so you could become a successful man.
(comments/take-home writing points): Have you noticed how the writer was able to infuse her emotions into those memories as she narrated them?
Recalling incidents without personalizing them won't take you anywhere....never ever forget this
Here’s how to come up with good ideas for the body of your speech
- Put down funny memories you recall
- Put down in chronological order how his formative years were like. Feel free to pour your heart onto the white sheet with a view to picking anecdotes you feel you can use for your own speech.
- Also, consider his hobbies and things he was born of. Did you notice how Jerry’s love of writing proved useful on special occasions?
We are not done yet. We still have some ''rivers'' to cross, so let’s go:
''Today is the day to rejoice in knowing that my dreams for you have come true.
Today is the day to rejoice in knowing you are getting married to this beautiful woman Ruth.''
(Comments/take-home writing points): Another thing you should consider is how to express how you feel about your son's big day in relation to his life story just as this writer has done.
She deliberately uses the word ''today'' to create a musical effect. Probably she wanted to entertain the wedding guests and her readers. Repetitions of words make great speeches what they really are.
Please note that if you will be embarrassing your son and yourself if you dwell on the negative, so please don’t.
You can give remarks that show how proud you are of him. For example, you can say:
You have been my pride and inspiration and I am so happy that you’ve grown from that baby I doted on into a very wonderful young man and getting married makes me….
Got it?
Thanks for being there for me and I am going to miss being at the gym with you. I love you so much.
Ruth thanks a lot for being there for John and the entire family all along. I love you and want to thank you for bringing out the best in him. I admire your sense of honesty, empathy and integrity and I trust that you are going to be an amazing wife and mom.
On this note, I’d like to welcome you and your family into our hearts and home. We love you so much.
(comment/take-home writing points) : Noticed how the speaker used the opportunity given to express her joy that Ruth is now part of the family.
It doesn't end there. She goes on to formally welcome her into her family. You have to do that if you’re speaking on behalf of your entire family)
We are almost getting to the end of this post…. So; let’s move on because I only want the best for you.
