Now, let’s look at this

 

Brother of the Groom Wedding Speech Example/Template

 

I would like to thank hitched.co.uk for this brilliant example.

 

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 traveled 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 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 done 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’s yet even more stories on this subject that can be exchanged for a gin and tonic at the bar.

 

 

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 most funny and/or offensive answer to a question.

 

 

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 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!

At this point, let’s look at this:

 

Sister of the Groom Wedding Speech Example/Template

I would like to thank hitched.co.uk for this example.

 

My name is Tihana Schmidt and on behalf of my parents, Ted and Mira, I am honored to say a few words to my brother Ivan and my new sister-in-law Maria.

 

I wish to thank you all for joining us this evening, Ivan and Maria, you are both to be commended on your planning and preparation for today's big event – it has been amazing. Wedding days are meant to be unforgettable and this one certainly will be. I for one will not forget how heart warming it was to see two wonderful people like Ivan and Maria making their vows to each other this afternoon.

What a pleasure it is seeing them now, sharing the happiness of their special day with all of us.

 

 

At this time I'd like to say a few words about my brother…… Let me share with you 3 of my happiest memories.

 

First, I am sure that I was extremely happy and excited when my baby brother was born at least that's what I've been told!!!!. As children we were best buddies.

 

Our mom taught us this great little song for times when we were not so close, remember MIR MIR DO NEBA!!!!! AS we grew older I enjoyed getting him into trouble, and was even happier to watch him get himself into even more trouble.

 

Are there any telephone operators who worked in the early 80”s with us this evening? If so, I wish to take this opportunity to apologize for my brothers rude and obscene prank calls to you!

 

Secondly I was extremely happy the day Ivan got his first car. Being the kind sister that I am I would let Ivan use my car for his adventures with his buddies – never really knowing what condition it would be returned in to me the next day. I still have a hard time understanding how one little pot hole could cause all 4 tires to turn different directions.

 

And what ever happened to the bolts that are meant to hold the front seat to the floor??? By the way groomsmen, Ivan always said it was all your fault!!

 

My most recent happiest memory was the day Ivan called me to tell me that he was going to ask Maria to be his wife, and he needed some help in making his proposal come to life. Watching my brother plan the proposal was amazing – he wanted everything just perfect for Maria!

 

Ivan, you have grown up to be a wonderful man, and I have no doubt whatsoever that you will be a wonderful husband too!

I would like to take this opportunity to say a few words on behalf of my parents in welcoming Maria to our family. Maria, you have been an important part of our family for what seems like many years already. My daughters are so very lucky to have you in their lives!

 

I know that my parents could not be any happier for their son, and are especially proud to call you their daughter-in-law. It has been said that the greatest gift a parent can receive is seeing their child happy and I know that my parents are overjoyed to see you both radiating in happiness today!!!

 

Success in marriage is more than finding the right person – it is being the right person. I am proud to be here celebrating the marriage of these two special people, who are not only amazing in their own right, but are also the right people for each other.

 

 

 Chance has brought them together, and there couldn't be a more perfect match. We don't often see a pair better suited to one another that these two. In fact, the kind of love they have is infectious….so all you single people had better watch out!!!

 

Separately you are two special, remarkable people. But together you are complete. As you sit side by side through this roller coaster of life remember to scream from the peaks, hold hands through the dips, laugh through the loops and enjoy every twist and turn. The ride is much better when you share it together.

 

Coming together is the beginning keeping together is progress working together is success.

Ladies and gentlemen, please join me in raising our glasses to the Ivan and Maria, Cheers!!!!

 

 

 

Now, let’s start by looking at how to write a great speech for your brother. 

 

Before we can get into the writer’s mind to figure out how he came up with that example, there are a few things you have to take note of.

 

Do you remember in English class where your teacher said that essays usually comprise of three main sections?

Ok, if you do, then, you certainly have a great memory. I remember that in school, I was taught all essays should have an introduction, body or outline and a conclusion.

 

So it is with any speech you hear or read. If you go back to read the above template, you will realize that Graham started his wedding toast with these brief remarks: 

 

''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….

 

On the whole, his introductory remarks hit on the main points.

 

While writing one seems like a walk in the park for most speech givers, the next few lines that come afterwards doesn’t gel with the wedding guests because most introductory remarks are very boring to say the least.

 

Graham’s opening remarks wasn’t because it has some elements of humor. Your opening address is arguably the most important part of your delivery as a good one sets the tone for the rest of your presentation. So, how then do you write a good one? Great question!

 

First, you can start with a story that occurred prior to the wedding day as Graham did.

Here is his example: 

‘’ 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….‘’

 

Second, if you are the older sibling, you can bring back memories by sharing an anecdote or two that occurred before or after the birth of your brother.

 

 

Third, you can start on an emotional note by using witty lines or love quotes. Here are some good ones you can use.

• "Love is composed of a single soul inhabiting two bodies."
  —Aristotle

 

• "The best thing to hold onto in life is each other."
  —Audrey Hepburn

 

 

 

• The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even heard, but must be felt with the heart."
  —Helen Keller

 

 

These are all heartfelt quotes. But can you use any of them to write something that strikes a chord with your family, friends and loved ones?

 

Ok, I am going to show you how to do that with the last quote: ''The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot ...'' 

''I once read a quote that says that The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even heard, but must be felt with the heart.

Amanda made that pretty clear when my brother brought her home to meet the family one summer afternoon.  I still remember John’s face radiant with joy when…….''

 

Did you notice how I connected that quote with the first time he met her future sister-in- law?

 

 

Now, let us consider this:

 

How To Write The Structure or Outline For Your Wedding Toast For Your Brother

 

While writing the body or content of this section of your speech seems quite easy to write, there’s always a tendency to be overwhelmed about what to say and what not to say because most of us have so many years of fond memories that we just don’t know where to start.

 

Writing the content of your wedding speech for your brother shouldn’t stress you out because I am going to share with you tried and tested tips and ideas that can help make this writing process a cinch.

 

First, watch a few video clips so you can get an idea of how wedding speeches for brothers are made. Here are some great ones you can watch and learn from them.

 

Brother of the groom speech video example

 

 

Sister of the groom speech video example

 

 

Second, you have to decide the kind of wedding speech toast you want to deliver. Are you looking for something poetic, emotional, song like, or even a storytelling approach?

 

Third, you then have to dig deep down for memories you want to use.

So this is what I recommend you do to set the ball rolling.  Starting from his childhood up until when he got married, jot down as many memories that come to you about your brother and the bride.

 

Afterwards, pick the ones you find amusing and use them to write a rough draft of your speech by taking inspiration from either of the examples above. Leave it for a while and clean it up thoroughly until you are very happy with the finished product.

 

 

Now, let us see...

How to End Your Wedding Speech for Your Brother

It’s always important to end your speech well since that’s what most people will remember the most about your presentation.

 

To do that you can simply use one or more of the following simple tips.

 

First, if you are a married man or woman, you can share a simple advice about marriage or what to look out for in a relationship.

 

Second, if you not married, you can model your closing remarks after the above examples: 

‘’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!’’

 

Third, if you or the couple is bible-believing Christians, you can conclude with some bible verses. You can use any of these verses

• 1 Corinthians 13:4-8. And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. ...
• 1 Corinthians 16:14. Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love.
• 1 Peter 4:8. There is no fear in love

 

Fourth, do you want your speech to be talked about all night long? Then, please sing it if you have a good voice or simply wrap up with a nice poem.

P.S: Most siblings do this...Have you considered it? Want to write and give a great wedding speech like the ones 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?

Now, let’s look at this…

 

Short Brother of the Bride Wedding Toast Sample/ Template

 

I would like to thank hitched.co.uk for this brilliant example.

 

I would like to start by saying, on behalf of my Mum, Stephanie and myself, what a real pleasure it is to welcome Simon's family, our family, friends and everyone in between that that join us here in celebrating Hannah and Simon's special day.  I know that many of you have travelled a long way to be here. 

 

 I'd like to say a particular thank you to my Aunty Kath who has a phobia of car journeys and would have needed to be sedated to make it down from Yorkshire.  I'm glad to see you made it and that they managed to bring you round in time for the ceremony!

 

I'd also like to say thank you for everyone involved in making today special – I know that over the past year Hannah & Simon have put in a huge amount of planning and effort to make today a relaxed and laid back celebration and I am sure you will all agree it has been an incredible day so far.

 

It seems that even the weather has been planned to ensure the perfect day.

Although this a joyous occasion, I cant let this moment pass without saying we all know we would all rather have our Dad up here today giving this speech. 

 

I know that if were still with us he couldn't be any more proud of Hannah than me and Mum are right now at the fantastic person she has grown up to be.  I know too that he would have been delighted in the prospect of having Simon as his Son in Law.

 

As I have the pleasure of being the first of the speeches I get to be the first to officially congratulate the happy couple and to tell Hannah how very beautiful I think she looks today. I don't want people to think I am showing favouritism. – Simon…you look magnificent too!!

 

As Hannah's brother, it has been a true privilege to be able to walk my sister down the isle today and watch her exchange vows at Hullavington church.  The church has a lot of memories for the **** family and it was fitting for it to be the starting point for such a new happy chapter in our family history.

 

Standing up here now looking at Hannah I can hardly believe that she's my baby sister!  There are nearly 10 years between us and id always wondered if she was a happy accidental addition to the family – Well as it turns out Hannah had been planned all along and it was me that was the unexpected one!!

 

It is fitting at times like this to think back on notable moments in my sister’s life that have impacted on me.

 

 

 

My sister has never been one to crave the center of attention but when she does she does it in style.  As a small child she decided to wander off in her green quilted romper suit for a walk on her own. 

 

Not until half the village had been drafted in to look for her and we were all beginning to panic did she decide to toddle back home as if nothing had happened!

 

Simon, you will be pleased to know that she has not continued this Houdini act into adult life!

 

There is also episode in her early years regarding chocolate buttons that Hannah has asked me not to mention.  On account of the fact that she has far more embarrassing stories about me I will honour that wish – but I'm sure if you buy her a glass of champagne later she'd be potty not to tell you!

 

I have it on good authority that Simon still has a packet of buttons tucked away for those difficult occasions!

 

It seems only yesterday that I was driving Hannah to primary school in my first car –  a rusting 1975 Vauxhall Shoveit with tasteful red vinyl seats. 

 

Hard to believe now that my tall sis used to need a cushion to see out the window and to stop her from slipping off the seat!  She used to love those journeys listening to my rather dodgy collection of 80’s tapes which is why to this day she has a love of Duran Duran than isn't normal for a 28 year old!

 

Growing up with an older brother clearly has had an effect over the years as my sister is fully aware of the plot of Star Wars and has a love of action movies over romantic comedies – a fact that I think Simon should thank me for on a daily basis.

 

I have to say that she wasn't a tom boy though as she also had My Little Pony collection large enough to open a stables with and was a huge fan of Boy George with a life sized poster adorning her bedroom wall!  I would like to stress for the record that neither of these traits were anything to do with my influence!

 

In later life Hannah successfully went to University and got a 2:1 in her degree – another proud moment in the **** family – even if it did mean she beat my grades!

 

Hannah wasn't all that keen I remember to give up the life of the student but I managed to coax her into the world of work by applying for a job at **** – or the family firm as we liked to think of it as both Dad and I had worked there over the years!

 

I am pleased to say that she has not only found a job she enjoys but also a husband which I think you will all agree is not a bad days work!!

 

For those of you that know Hannah well you will know she's a keen lover of animals and misses being surrounded by pets as she was growing up – even now I know she'd get a puppy tomorrow if the room could be found at home.

 

Well Hannah – you now have a Simon instead – who thinking about it has many of the characteristics of a puppy – full of enthusiasm, always playful and friendly and always wins over everyone they meet.  I just hope he also doesn't chew the furniture or wee on the carpet!!

 

 

Not having Dad around has made us a close family and it is a real pleasure to welcome Simon into the fold – Having been outnumbered by both my Mum and Hannah over the years I'm grateful at last the additional male support!

 

When I first got to know Simon it was when we worked together long before he met my sister. I remember one particular day we had a meeting in Colchester which involved a 6 hour round trip and  seemed to involve a lot of talk about mountain biking. 

 

A subject I know nothing about at the start of the journey but by the end I felt I was qualified to downhill Ben Nevis!  I thought back then he was a good guy, little did I know then that one day he would become my Brother in Law. 

 

I seem to remember I got us a McDonalds burger on the way back.  If id known one day you were going to take my sister off my hands id have got you the fries and drink as well!

 

Joking aside, Simon is one of the most genuine and considerate people I have met and I can honestly say I have never known Hannah to be happier than in the time they have been together. 

 

It is clear to me as to everyone that knows them that they are soul mates that complement each other perfectly and as cheesy as it sounds I couldn't have asked for a better man to marry my sister.

 

It is traditional on these occasions to end by giving some advice to the married couple.  I can't draw on the experiences of my own illustrious married life.. just yet but I have unearthed a few words of wisdom on this complex subject.

 

To Hannah,

If you want something from Simon, ask for it. Remember, Simon is a man, hints do not work!

To Simon,

I'm going to borrow the words of Oscar Wilde, “Women are meant to be loved, not understood.”

 

Marriage will bring you many things, loyalty, self-restraint, obedience and a whole host of other virtues you wouldn't have needed had you stayed single.

 

And most useful piece of advice I can give to you to maintain a long and happy marriage – always remember to put the loo seat down after you!

 

On a slightly less irreverent note…to you both…

Marriage in this day and age is far from easy – With all the external pressures of day-to-day life – you will need to grow together in mutual trust and understanding – whilst not losing sight of what first brought you together – In other words – may your love be modern enough to survive the times – yet old-fashioned enough to last forever.

 

And so finally….it's my very great pleasure… to propose the toast to the happy couple.  Ladies and Gentlemen …will you please be upstanding ….and raise your glasses……….… to the Bride and Groom.

 

 

Comment: If you are not the sister of the bride and don’t want to read the next example, you can simply scroll down for further insights into how the above example was written.

 

Let’s now look at this:

 

Short Sister of the Bride Wedding Toast Sample/ Template

 

I would like to thank hitched.co.uk for this brilliant example.

 

Hello everyone. Thank you for being here to help celebrate Brooke and Brian. For those of you who don’t know me, I’m Faith, the maid of honor and Brooke’s little sister.

 

I want to give a special thank you to our parents, Mary and Robert, and Brian’s parents, Gloria and William, for making today possible. You all have set an amazing example of lasting love and what it truly means to be married. Thank you!

You all have set an amazing example of lasting love and what it truly means to be married. Thank you!

 

Looking back, Brooke, you were an amazing big sister to me. I have to admit that I don’t think I truly appreciated all that you did for me growing up. Pretty much every single one of my memories as a child has you in them and was as wonderful because of you. I remember spending all day playing “Olden Days.”

 

We would start out in the morning picking out our outfits in the costume box. Once we had our back story, persona and outfit set, we would venture outside, and use the four-wheeler as a stand-in covered wagon for the trip out west.

 

The day would usually end up with us making elaborate berry, leaf and sawdust pies at our out-door kitchen on the stone wall. Or I remember how you would play Barbies with me, even when you probably were too old to find it fun anymore. But you always humoured me.

 

I remember spending all day playing “Olden Days.” We would start out in the morning picking out our outfits in the costume box.

 

When I was little I loved stuffed animals a lot! I had one stuffed animal named Lambie. Every summer, Brooke would help Lambie go away on an adventure.

 

I wouldn’t see Lambie for weeks! I never missed her much because the best part was that Lambie would write me letters about what she was doing. Brooke would deliver me the special little letters and then help me write and send ones back to Lambie. And let me tell you, Lambie did some amazing things.

 

As we got older, Brooke, you still included me in your life when the last thing a lot of teenagers would have done is spend time with their pre-teen, annoying sister.

 

When you got your first job at Dunkin and your driver’s license, I was the envy of my six-grade class because you took me to the mall at least twice a week.

 

 

You even would spend your hard-earned money on things for me so I wouldn’t feel left out when you bought stuff! Later, you continued to always include me in your life and, as we get older, we’ve grown even closer.

 

 

When you got your first job at Dunkin and your driver's license, I was the envy of my six-grade class because you took me to the mall at least twice a week.

 

Beyond spending time with me, you were and still are an amazing example for me. I have always looked up to you and looked to you on the appropriate ways to act, dress and behave.

 

You have been my role model for years and always will be. I am so proud of the woman you are today.

 

Brian, I am so happy that you and Brooke found one another. I knew you were special from the very beginning. After one of your first dates, the one in Putnam at the antique mall, Brooke couldn’t wait to tell me about it at work the next day.

 

She was absolutely beaming and couldn’t contain her huge smile. She told me how you guys stayed up till 1 am just laughing and then she showed me a picture of you modelling a silly antique jacket with tails and a top hat! I knew it meant something.

 

She told me how you guys stayed up till 1 am just laughing and then she showed me a picture of you modelling a silly antique jacket with tails and a top hat!

 

Brooke is obviously beautiful, sophisticated and intelligent.

 

However, not a lot of people know how incredibly hilarious and funny Brooke is. When she was little, we all thought she would have her own sketch comedy show or be on the stage because of all the characters she would make up and how she always made us laugh.

 

Brian, you bring that side out of Brooke. You allow her to be her true self in every form. Brooke, you have found the perfect complement for you. You both have so much to offer the world and each other.

 

On this day, 133 years ago on June 16, 1884, the very first roller coaster in America opened up at Coney Island. I think this is very fortuitous.

 

A familiar saying uses a rollercoaster as a metaphor for marriage. It goes, ‘In marriage scream from the peaks, hold hands through the dips, laugh through the loops and enjoy every twist and turn, for the ride is better because you share it together.’

 

If everyone can now raise their glass and join me in congratulating Brooke and Brian. May your love be modern enough to survive the times and old fashioned enough to survive forever. Congratulations!

 

 

 

At this point, we are going to use the first example to show you how you can model your speech after the brother of the bride wedding speech.

 

 

Let’s first begin by looking at...

 

How to Write the Opening Remarks of Your Wedding Toast For Your Sister

 

The opening remarks seem fairly easy to write since it comprises of the following basic elements:

1. A brief self-introduction and your relationship to the bride and groom

1. Thanking the bride for asking you to speak and other personalities like friends and family who have been a blessing in your sister’s life.

 

You know, the introductory remarks comprise of two parts: short self-introduction and the hook that introduces the content of the speech. Your opening remarks should be persuasive and engaging and make everyone want to listen to the rest of your story.

 

Unfortunately, most siblings can’t seem to get their acts together when they write this crucial part of your delivery.

 

Thankfully, I have come up with a few proven ideas to help you open your speech with a bang and I am glad to share these tips with you.

 

First, you can mention how you felt when your sister asked to speak at her wedding. Here’s an example to illustrate this point.

 

Wow, I can’t believe that it’s me up here welcoming you all to my sister’s wedding.  I told Dan that I was going to memorize my speech and practice it drunk. Then, I thought, the guests know I am teetotal.

 

So, I decided to prepare it 6 months in advance and you can imagine the sleepless nights I have spent on this which explains why I am now like a twig!

 

 

Second, if you are speaking because your father has passed away, you can imitate what the brother of the bride said in the earlier example.  Here you go once again in case you have forgotten about it.

 

‘’ Although this a joyous occasion, I can’t let this moment pass without saying we all know we would all rather have our Dad up here today giving this speech.  I know that if were still with us he couldn't be any more proud of Hannah than me and Mum are right now at the fantastic person she has grown up to be’’

 

Third, you can start with a beautiful quote about love and it would really resonate with your friends and family. It always works if you are aiming at writing an emotional wedding speech for your sister or bride.

 

Well, here are some love quotes you can make good use of.

• “When I say I love you more, I don’t mean I love you more than you love me. I mean I love you more than the bad days ahead of us, I love you more than any fight we will ever have. I love you more than the distance between us, I love you more than any obstacle that could try and come between us. I love you the most.” – Unknown

• “Love is that condition in which the happiness of another person is essential to your own.” – Robert A. Heinlein

• “You know you’re in love when you can’t fall asleep because reality is finally better than your dreams.” – Dr. Seuss

 

Now, I am going to use the last quote by Dr. Seuss to write a simple intro. Here you go:

 

I once read this quote by Dr. Seuss that says you know you are in love when you can’t fall asleep because reality is finally better than your dreams.

 

I only got to know my sister Brooke was in love after reading that quote. I used to share the same bed with her and when I asked why she had sleepless nights, she said she had insomnia which I believed to be true at the time. I only realized that Brandon was the cause of her insomnia when she screamed his name over and over in a dream. I initially thought she was having nightmares until she…

 

Don’t you think the wedding guests will itch for more if you kick start your speech with that story or something similar to that?

 

All that being said, let’s look at….

 

 

How to Write the Content or Structure of Your Wedding Toast for Your Sister

 

If you scroll up a bit and read both examples/templates once again, you will notice that they are both laden with stories.  Your speech should have stories too as they give life to an otherwise boring presentation.

 

To come up with good and relevant anecdotes, you should make time and write down fond memories of what your relationship has been like with your sister over the years.

 

This is what I recommend you do. Starting from her childhood through adolescence to when she was growing up, jot down as many memories as you can remember about her.

 

Then, narrow it down by picking stories you think you can make good use of. Afterwards, write down your impressions about your new brother in law and write what you have in mind by first creating an outline from which you can develop your entire wedding toast. 

 

By the way, these videos can give you an idea of what to expect. So, watch them and write down ideas you think you can incorporate into your own wedding speech.

At this point, let’s now consider

Simple Tips and Ideas You Can Use to Conclude Your Wedding Speech for your Sister with a Bang

 

Most people think that wedding speeches have to end with bits and pieces of advice. That’s not entirely true as there are other creative ways of ending your speech on a very memorable note.

 

Here are ways of simple ways of going about it.

 

First, if you or the couple is rooted in faith, you can borrow some bible verses to enhance the theme of your speech. Some relevant bible verses you can use include the following:

• 1 Corinthians 16:14. Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love.

• Colossians 3:14:"And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity.

• Ephesians 5:25:"For husbands, this means love your wives, just as Christ loved the church. He gave up his life for her."

 

Second, if you are married, you can simply share some bits and pieces of advice. Here's an example to make your speech funny:

 

 

Third, if you really want to make your concluding remarks very unique, you can sing what you wish to say.

 

 

 

Fourth, if you have nothing to say, just offer some well wishes and take your seat. You can use at least one of these to wrap up.

• May you experience true love and happiness in your walk together. I wish you nothing but love and happiness.

 

• I wish you that you will find true joy and happiness in each other’s lovely presence.

 

 

• My wish for this marriage is that your love lasts forever.

Finally, you may use a very nice quote to wrap up. The writer did just that with the underlined quote.

If everyone can now raise their glass and join me in congratulating Brooke and Brian. May your love be modern enough to survive the times and old fashioned enough to survive forever. Congratulations!

P.S: Most siblings do this...Have you considered it? Want to write and give a great wedding speech like the ones above but can't seem to get started because you don't know the exact words to use?

Funny Maid Of Honor Speeches Always Carry The Day

Have you ever been to any wedding you always look back on with really fond memories? If you have, then there is a possibility that one of the things that made that wedding night very memorable was how the speeches were delivered. It’s most likely that the speakers were fun to listen to.

 

You might have concluded after that wedding party that someday when your friend or loved one is getting married, you too will step up to the plate and make a make a funny wedding speech that will be on everyone’s lips all night long.

 

Now, that day is here and you have to deliver a hilarious maid of honor wedding speech as what you say will make you stand out from the other speakers.

 

 

It’s actually simple than you’ve ever thought. But first, let’s look at a few crippling myths that deprive many wedding speakers from delivering funny maid of wedding speeches and how to make sure you make one with remarkable ease.

 

Do This Before You Speak And You’ll Be A Star

 

Myth number 1: Your toast has to be hilarious from the start to the end of your wedding speech.  Not entirely the case. If can make everyone laugh from when you grab the microphone to when you say your last words, then you should consider joining the American Comedy Institute. All you need is a single story to achieve your goal. 

 

 

Myth number 2: They say that you can’t deliver a very funny maid of honor speech if you are not like the famous comedian, Mr. Bean. Whoever said that might be joking. You can employ easy-to-follow tricks to make everyone happy. For example, you can throw the house into rapturous delight by wearing a bizarre wig or simply acting like a drunk before you speak or even behave like this funny girl.

 

 

Now, let’s look at another issue:

How To Use Funny Maid Of Honor Speech Examples To Write Your Speech

Having seen all that, let’s take inspiration from these funny maid of honor speech examples by reading through them very carefully. After that, we will split the second example up into bits and pieces so we can figure out what goes into writing a very funny maid speech or toast.

 

Please note: The first example is from the sister of the bride to her sibling, the second is by a friend of the bride. You may go over both if you have enough time or just scroll down to the second template if you are her friend. Enough said. 

Now, let’s think through what I think it’s the funniest maid of honor speeches out there.

 

 

Here Is the…

Funny Maid Of Honor Speech Sample/Template for a Friend or Sister

 

First and foremost, I would like to thank this website for sharing this toast.

“Hello everyone. My name is Natasha, and I am very happy to be here tonight to celebrate the wedding of my dear friend Mary to her new husband Felix. Mary, you look absolutely stunning tonight. Felix is one lucky man!

 

If you don’t know the story, Mary and Felix met each other at her sister’s wedding almost 3 years ago, and it was love at first sight. No distance could keep them apart, and even from the Dominican Republic, Felix serenaded Mary over Skype and text messages.

His charm and sweet words soon won her over, and she took a leap of faith in love and moved to the DR to teach for a year and of course be close to Felix.

 

And now Mary and Felix, because of the trust you had in each other and in the love that you shared, you are finally able to live and love together as husband and wife, and even in the same country!

To the beautiful bride Mary: we met back in first grade, and I am honored to still be one of your closest friends and celebrate with you on this special day.

 

Typically the maid of honor gives some marriage advice. I am not yet an expert on marriage, but I am an expert on Mary. I know that Felix will not only be your husband but your new best friend. So Felix I would like to share some insights from Mary’s very old best friend to her new very best friend.

 

1. Felix, if you ever upset Mary, just remember that she loves ice cream. And if you really upset her, try French fries dipped in a chocolate shake.

 

2. Mary will not be afraid to knock sense into you when she feels necessary. I once said the wrong thing and she threw a pillow at me, which happened to contain a hardbound textbook. Who keeps books in their pillows?

 

3. Felix, a word of warning, Mary was a hurdler in high school. So don’t stand in her way, because she can and will jump over you.
4. If you ever get tired of her talking, just send her out for coffee with some friends. But only if you can handle caffeine hyped Mary.
5. Mary is the queen of procrastination, and she seems to do her best work in the middle of the night. Felix, uh, you can take advantage of this…

Felix, you are now prepared for all that lies ahead. You have chosen a wonderful woman to be your wife and all I ask is that you take good care of her and always keep her laughing.

And to Mary, thank you for being such a wonderful friend. I love your infectious laugh, open heart, and brutal honesty. Always remember that I, along with the rest of your friends and family will always be here to support you.

 

Before I finish, I wanted to share part of a letter that you had written to me on our high school graduation day: “Natasha, we have been through life’s ups and downs together and we are still standing strong.

 

As the day that I move approaches, I pray that our friendship will endure forever so that one day we really will sit next to each other in rocking chairs watching our grandchildren play and reminiscing on these wonderful days of our youth.”

 

Well, Mary we still have a long way until grandchildren, but tonight you are one step closer!

 

Please raise your glasses to Mary and Felix. May the happiness you have tonight only be the start of a wonderful life ahead.”

 

 

I actually smiled reading through that example and even gave the writer a thunderous round of applause. I am not sure if anything I have ever read or heard can outmatch this amazingly funny maid of honor wedding speech!

 

Well, that’s my opinion. But, did you really enjoy reading both funny maid of honor wedding speeches? And which was your favorite? I bet it’s the second example.

 

And by the way, did you learn a thing or two from reading that unique and creative maid of honor wedding toast?

 

I think it’s an honorable thing to keep your promises. So, without further ado, let’s set the wheels in motion by looking at how you can write the best ever maid of honor wedding speech using the ideas we got from both samples.

 

First and foremost, let us consider what goes into the introductory remarks and how you can write a captivating opener without trying so hard.

 

Here’s the excerpted example to guide us every step of the way.

“Hello everyone. My name is Natasha, and I am very happy to be here tonight to celebrate the wedding of my dear friend Mary to her new husband Felix. Mary, you look absolutely stunning tonight. Felix is one lucky man!’’

 

This is a fairly simple maid of honor speech introduction. But you can hold the wedding guests in awe by making your remarks a little different from what is said at most weddings.

 

How so?

 

Well, after saying who you are and your relationship with the bride and groom, you may start with one or more of the following ideas. 

 

First, you can break out into a hilarious song like the one below if you have an amazing voice. You can make it very lively by personalizing the music a bit and set it to a song everyone can sing along to. For example, you can modify the lyrics of this song by adding a few details about the bride and groom.

 

 

After mentioning your relationship with the bride and groom( Hello and welcome everyone. I am Michelle, proud sister of Mary and her maid of honor), you can then start with a bang. 

Second, you can come on stage with some weird hairdo and act like a comedienne.

 

Third, you can start by sharing a hilarious anecdote about when you first met the bride.  If you are her older sister, you can share something funny that happened prior to her birth. It could be a funny story mom and dad told you about having babies or what mom said or did before she was born.

 

If you are her friend, you can dive right in by letting everyone know how and where you met her and what drew you to her side. You may as well as share a little story about the bride and groom. This approach is popular with most wedding speakers.

Here’s an example:                  

 

Fourth, you can make your opening remarks very unique by waxing poetic even if you don’t want your entire speech to sound like a poem. The wedding guests would bask in delight when you make it rhyme.

 

Below is a funny and rhyming maid of honor speech. 

10 years ago, I met this girl at a trade fair 

She was a happy girl so I called her Miss Fair

Turns out she was Amanda

 Miss Fair loved to smile and give

Even when there was nothing to smile about

So we gave her another nickname Miss Smiley

And with that she became Miss Fair Smiley

 

Can you write something close to that or even better? Can you give that a try? You may use this poem as a starting point to come up with yours. What better way to start your funny maid of honor speech on a bright note!

 

 

Now, let me ask you this. Which of those ideas would you like to use for your opening remarks? Just pick one and run with it and you will bring the entire house down with joy and laughter. 

 

Now, let us look at...

 

How To Easily Write the Structure or Outline of Your Funny Maid of Honor Wedding Toast

 

Do you know why most maid of honors struggle with putting their thoughts together even though they have so many ideas about what to say?It’s because the vast majority of wedding speakers don’t know where to start. 

It’s common for wedding speech givers to quickly put down their thoughts and just edit it in a way that doesn’t capture the true essence of their relationship with the bride and groom. 

Just like any other creative endeavor, you need something that has worked so you can model your speech after that.

From writing maid of other speeches and other wedding speeches for people around the globe, I have developed and mastered a simple plan that can help you put across your storyline convincingly even if you are as confused as a fish on the seashore.

Here they are:

 

 

First, you have to decide on the style you wish to use for the body of your funny maid of honor speech. Styles to choose from include witty, sentimental, rhyming, musical, poetic, hilarious maid of honor wedding speeches or a combination of all styles if you want your speech to be a massive it.

 

Second, to come up with excellent ideas, you have to make time and watch a couple of videos so you can figure out how funny maid of honor wedding speeches are made.

Below are some great clips for you. Press on the play buttons, enjoy and you will get a fair idea from watching clips.

Fourth, read these questions thoughtful and write your answers next to each question. These thought provoking questions can help you do just that.

• When did you first meet the bride?

• Where did you first meet the bride?

• If you are the older sister of the bride, you can share how you felt when your little sister was born

• How has your relationship blossomed over the years?

• Are there any funny and fond memories you recall that you wish to add to your wedding toast? List as many stories you want to include and cull your favorite(s) from the pool of stories

• Are there any funny quotes or jokes you wish to add to your maid of honor wedding speech? Here are a few you can plug into your script.

• If you are married, then what do you want to tell the couple?

 

Now, I have a mini-assignment for you. Have you provided answers to those questions above? If you have, then go back and read the examples (the two) we looked at the onset of this write-up for some inspiration and then write a draft which you can fine-tune until it looks great in content and structure.

 

 

 

Now, let us quickly wrap by looking at…

How to End Your Funny Maid Of Honor Wedding Speech

 

The closing remarks of your funny maid of honor wedding speech toast are as important as your opening address so you really have to put in a lot of thought into how you conclude your presentation.  

Here are some creative and fun ways of ending your speech with a bang.

First, if you are married, then you can share your marital experience with the couple. This works all the time. Here's an example: 

 

When you argue, you have to start taking your clothes off. You’ll either end up laughing or doing something else, but at least you’ll forget why you were fighting in the first place. 

 

Second, I have never seen this done. But, it will definitely work if you end with a simple quiz. For example, after you have talked about the bride and groom, you can ask those around to answer a few questions about what you said and give gifts to those whose answers are correct! You and the guests would have so much fun doing this. 

 

Third, you can end with a poem like this one or even customize it a bit.

 

 

"THIS MARRIAGE" BY RUMI

May these vows and this marriage be blessed.
May it be sweet milk,
this marriage, like wine and halvah.
May this marriage offer fruit and shade
like the date palm.

May this marriage be full of laughter,
our every day a day in paradise.

May this marriage be a sign of compassion,
a seal of happiness here and hereafter.
May this marriage have a fair face and a good name...

 

 

Fourth, if you have a good singing voice, you can probably modify the poem above and sing along to the beat of a well-known song and everyone will be happy with your delivery. Here's a case in point.

 

 

Moreover, if it’s a godly or Christian-centered wedding, you can end with some bible verses about marriage and love. Here are some passages from the bible that can enrich your message.

Ephesians 5:25: "For husbands, this means love your wives, just as Christ loved the church. He gave up his life for her."

Genesis 2:24: "Therefore a man shall leave his father and his mother and hold fast to his wife, and they shall become one flesh.’’

Epheisans 4:2-3

"Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love. Make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace."

 

Also, you can close your remarks with any of these funny and poignant quotes.

• "Love is a lot like a backache. It doesn't show up on X-Rays but you know it's there." -George Burns, comedian, actor, and writer
• "…true love is never blind, but rather brings an added light." -Phoebe Cary, American poet
• "You know you're in love when you can't fall asleep because reality is finally better than your dreams." -Dr. Seuss, author
• "The best love is the kind that awakens the soul and makes us reach for more, that plants a fire in our hearts and brings peace to our minds." -Nicholas Sparks, The Notebook
• “A great marriage is not when the ‘perfect couple’ comes together. It is when an imperfect couple learns to enjoy their differences.”Dave Meurer

 

Using the last quote, we can come up with this short example: 

 Mike and Amanda, you are both a lovely couple and I would like to read you a quote I once read by Dave Meurer.

It goes like this, ‘’ “A great marriage is not when the ‘perfect couple’ comes together. It is when an imperfect couple learns to enjoy their differences.” 

You are a beautiful couple with perfect imperfections. So, as you build your lives together, learn to make concessions for each other and you will always enjoy each other’s company. We love you both and wish you all the happiness and love in your marriage.

Sixth, you can end with a joke.

Most maids of honor do this....have you considered it yet? It would help you deliver your wedding speech for your friend or sister. 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

Mother Of The Bride Speech Example/Template

 

Good evening and welcome everyone!

I’m Margaret, Carline’s proud mom.

It gives me great pleasure and honor to see the smiling faces of so many people who love and cherish Dan and Carline and both families.

 

We have waited for months for this special time and on behalf of my family, I would like to thank everyone who has come from near and far to share in our joy and happiness.

 

Carline, my only daughter is getting married and the only moment I felt this over-the-moon happy was when she was born after waiting to conceive for 10 long years.

 

Carline was always an active little girl who loved out the outdoors more than anything else.

 

She had so much enthusiasm for anything. Whether she was climbing trees which she loved so much, outside playing with her lab, or busily riding her dirt bike through the trails, she gave it her all.

Growing up, Carline played basketball and softball which were bonding sports for us.

 

I was lucky to have coached her for a few years. But what I will never forget was the fact she always made family vacations fun and memorable.

 

Carline was 14 years old studying French and she knew the basics, enough to get us by.  So I said to her: why don’t we take a trip to Paris? She agreed and off we went to Paris!

 

There was a time when we were on our way to the city from our hotel and we got stuck there for about three hours!  At that point, I was totally drenched in sweat and on the brink of despair until two men came to our help and rescued us and you should have seen how relieved we were when we were totally set free from that small prison!

 

Carline loved reading too and it was always a joy to see her curled up in bed with a book in his hand and she ended up being a smart lady. 

 

She was so focused, so committed and dedicated to her work at home and in school and eventually went off to college where she succeeded in getting her bachelor’s degree in just 2 years!

 

 

Carline, I am so proud of you and everything you’ve achieved down the road of life! Carline, my dream has always been to see you live a happier and a more fulfilling life!

 

But, you ended up making me better mom more than I could ever imagine! We have been through our high and low moments and your love and support for me has always seen me through the good times and bad.

 

Dan, every mom hopes and prays that her daughter finds someone like you to love and cherish her.  Your words and deeds speak volumes that you love and cherish Dan with your whole heart.

 

You are polite, thoughtful, caring, and very respectful.  You’re also a great cook who always surprises her with new dinners! What more could we ask for? 

 

Dan and Carline, you’re well suited for each other. You are both smart and make good decisions and have a lot of things in common.  It is pure joy to be with you today.

 

However, the journey of marriage is a lot like a roller-caster. You have extreme highs and you can have some pretty extreme lows, but the ride is worth it!

So, always be each other’s best friend in good times and bad, honor each other, be kind, be sweet, hug and kiss a lot, it’s good for you.

 

As you keep at it, you will never forget this beautiful day!  God bless you!

 

Now, let us see how this short piece was written.

 

Well, if you study the above wedding toast very carefully, you will realize that it has some basic components we were taught at school about how essays are written.

I know it’s been decades since you graduated high school, so I would like to help you with this.

 

Did you notice how the above example began with an introduction by Margaret?

Here’s the entire thing if you have probably forgotten about it now.  Please take note of the underlined phrase.

''Good evening and welcome everyone!

I’m Margaret, Carline’s proud mom.

It gives me great pleasure and honor to see the smiling faces of so many people who love and cherish Dan and Carline and both families.

We have waited for months for this special time and on behalf of my family, I would like to thank everyone who has come from near and far to share in our joy and happiness.''

Carline, my only daughter is getting married‘’

 

The portions of the text not underlined are easy to write because it’s the most common way of starting a wedding toast.

 

Here, you simply mention your name and your relationship with the bride and groom. Then, you proceed to thank people who have had tremendous impact on your daughter’s life.

 

People like:

1. the father of the bride
2. uncles and aunts of the bride
3. the bride’s grandparents
4. the family of the groom for their love and support

 

After thanking the above personalities, you have to kick start with the right level of enthusiasm and this part of your intro needs to be engaging enough to make everyone want to listen to the rest of the story and not intuitively conclude that another boring wedding speech is on the way!

 

To make your opening remarks very unique and memorable, you could simply use one or more of the following ideas for your opening remarks.

 

 

First, you can compare how you feel on the wedding night to how you felt when your daughter came into your life. An example has been culled from the mother of the bride speech template above:

‘’ Carline, my only daughter is getting married and the only moment I felt this over-the-moon happy was when she was born after waiting to conceive for 10 long years.‘’

 

Second, you can start with a joke. Here’s an example to illustrate this point.

It’s funny how our life turns out to me. When Martha was a little girl, she said she was never going to marry because having her toys around was more than enough to keep her through life. That became a running joke in the family. So we nicknamed her Miss Never Get Married and she was fine with it until she met Ben.

Today, this same lady is getting married to …’’

 

Now, don’t you think that would crack the guests up? That’s one of the surest ways of grabbing their attention and even breaking the ice when you grab the microphone.

 

Third, you might want to start with something that will touch hearts. You could use a memorable story about events that happened before or after your daughter born. If that doesn’t work for you, you can start with quotes or witty lines as they can absolutely enrich your wedding speech for your daughter and son in law.

 

Below are some great quotes you can use.

• Words are not enough to express the unconditional love that exists between a mother and a daughter.” – Caitlin Houston
• “Mother and daughter from the start. Best friends forever from the heart.”
• “The relationship between parents and children, but especially between mothers and daughters, is tremendously powerful, scarcely to be comprehended in any rational way.” – Joyce Carol Oates

• ‘’ A mom is a daughter’s ‘first’ friend. And, through life, becomes her best friend.” – Vicki Reece
• To my daughter. Never forget that I love you. Life is filled with hard times and good times. Learn from everything you can. Be the woman I know you can be. Mom”

Can you write a very simple but captivating opener with any of the above quotes?  I can see you doubting yourself…

 

Please give it a try and you'll certainly end up with something far better than you ever imagined. Ok, can I help? Ok, if I were you, I would have started like this:

 

There is this quote that says a mom is a daughter’s first friend and through life, she becomes her best friend.

Amanda has been my best friend since she saved my life on a dreary day

 

Don’t you think everyone will be eager to know what really happened on that day?  

 

I think we have had enough of that. Let’s now see how we can put together…

The Content or Structure of Your Mother Of The Bride Wedding Speech

 

Another mistake I see most mothers make is to write their wedding toasts without first finding out what goes into writing a stellar one.

 

Don’t get me wrong. I am not in any way saying that if you are lucky to be hit with a bout of inspiration, you can’t write a great piece all in one sitting.

 

You can! But let’s face it. How many of us are that gifted? I guess a few. This is why you need to follow this simple and proven plan I am going to share with you so you can come up with great ideas for your wedding speech for daughter even if you are horrible speaker or writer.

 

First, you have to decide how many minutes you want your speech to last.

You shouldn’t dwell so much about the length. As long as, it captures what you really want to say in an engaging manner, then, you can be sure that it would go down well with everyone.

 

Second, decide on what kind of speech you really want to make. Do you want to capture details about your daughter’s life in a rhyming, poetic, sing-song, or even in a storytelling format?

 

Finally, you have to develop the outline of your presentation. Here’s where stories about your daughter’s life come in.

 

Do you want to share stories about your daughter’s childhood, teenage years, adult years or any story that really stands out?

 

I once reviewed a speech a couple of months ago for one mom and it felt like I was reading her child’s biography. It was so boring and lifeless that I was asked to give life to it!

 

You see, all you need is a handful of good-to -hear stories that you think it’s worth sharing.

 

Two or three is okay though. If you have several heartwarming stories, you can pick your favorite ones from the big pool of stories. As you do, just choose stories that would not embarrass her in anyway unless of course she would be happy to hear that said on her wedding day.

 

If your daughter doesn’t enjoy being in the spotlight, you can simply tell her how proud you are of her and express joy that she is getting married to the man of her dreams and it would work beyond your wildest dream.

 

By the way, let me remind you that once you get to work on it, it might not come out the way you wanted it on your first attempt. You just have to re-work it until you are happy with your own work.

 

Action Tip: Sit down for a moment and reflect on the stories you wish to use for the bride and your son-in-law and pick at least two stories that really resonate with you.

How To Use Mother Of The Bride Speech Examples/Templates To Write A Memorable Conclusion

 

If you ask me or any other mother of the bride speech writer what part of your mother of the bride wedding speech they pay the least attention to, they will tell you it’s the conclusion.

 

Here’s why it’s so important to get it right as well as ways to write a darn good one that would make everyone wish your speech never comes to an end.

 

First, it brings closure to your delivery and gives room to the next speaker (if there are any) to take over from you.

 

Second, your closing remarks is what everyone will remember most particularly if there’s a catchy line in there and your family and friends might ask for copies of your mother’s wedding toast for your daughter.

 

You need not sweat over how to write your closing remarks because there are so many proven ideas and tips that can help you do just that and I am happy to share some of them with you.

 

First, if you are a deeply religious soul or a good Christian, you can use some bible verses or scriptural references to embellish your conclusion.

Any of the following verses can help you to wrap up on a bright note.

Bible Verse # 1: James 1: 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.

Bible Verse #2: 1 Corinthians 16:14. Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love.

Bible Verse #3: 1 Peter 4:8, NIV: "Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins.

 

Using the bible verse#1: ‘’James 1: 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.’’, we can come up with this short example

Your marriage is God’s best gift you so always hold on to each other and your love for each other will stand the test of time.

 

Second, you can wax poetic if you are a good with words. Let me add that may simply look up poem on the internet if you are not blessed with the skill of writing. I found this beautiful poem online but please don’t copy it. Let it rather keep your creative juices flowing.

I Rely On You By Hovis Presley

I rely on you
like a camera needs a shutter
like a gambler needs a flutter
like a golfer needs a putter
like a buttered scone involves some butter

I rely on you
Like an acrobat needs ice-cool nerve
like a hairpin needs a drastic curve
like an HGV needs endless derv
like an outside left needs a body swerve

I rely on you
like a handyman needs pliers
like an auctioneer needs buyers
like a laundromat needs driers
like The Good Life needed Richard Briers

I rely on you.

 

Can you rework to suit the bride and groom? Not as hard as you think. So please do your best to get it done.

 

To give you a hint, I can start like this:

‘’ Dan and Amanda, marriage is all about relying on each other.  In our lives, we all need someone to lean on. You need parents and support of family and friends to reach this far. So, if you want to go farther, then you need each other like we all need air and you will reach for the stars!   Always remember to rely on each other because that’s where your strength lies‘’

 

Did you notice how I simply used the words rely on each other to compose my thoughts? That’s how it’s done. If you are not very creative, you can simply use the poem as is and customized it a bit.

 

Third, you can end with a song like this mom did:

 

 

Fourth, if you don’t have anything at all to say, you can just borrow the concluding remarks of the mother of the bride speech template/example above.

‘’ Dan and Carline, you’re well suited for each other. You are both smart and make good decisions and have a lot of things in common.  It is pure joy to be with you today.

However, the journey of marriage is a lot like a roller-caster. You have extreme highs and you can have some pretty extreme lows, but the ride is worth it!

So, always be each other’s best friend in good times and bad, honor each other, be kind, be sweet, hug and kiss a lot, it’s good for you.

 

As you keep at it, you will never forget this beautiful day!  God bless you!  ‘’

P.S: Is the thought of giving you a great wedding speech keeping you up at night? It shouldn’t if you do what most moms do. By following 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

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 moms to give speeches.

Nonetheless, not every mother 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.   

''It was perfect Dan.  I changed a few things in the speech. And I had several people come up and tell me how well done it was. I couldn't have done it better. Thanks for your help''- Marilyn, Canada
