Groom Speech Example/Sample
A special thank you to hitched.co.uk for posting this example.
“On behalf of my wife and I, we would like to welcome you all to our special day and thank you all for coming. We are thrilled to have so many of our family and close friends surrounding us today, and some of you have travelled a long way to be here and for that we are honoured.
Thank you all for your gifts and generous contributions to our honeymoon. I can honestly say it wouldn’t be the same without all of you being here today…. although it would have been a lot less stressful making this speech out to an empty room.
I personally would like to start off by thanking my father in-law, not just for his generous contribution to this day, but also for giving me permission to take on the role of loving and protecting his daughter. I know how important Emily is to you and Kim, and I promise to always make your daughter my top priority and never leave her side.
Mum and Dad, I want to thank you for always being there for me with unconditional love and support. You’ve allowed me to make my own decisions in life and been there to pick up the pieces when it’s fallen apart. I appreciate everything you’ve done for me and I love you both very much.
I want to thank two very special and important ladies in my life. Maureen and Eileen. This is probably the only time I’ll get to say how grateful I am for your love and wisdom you’ve given me through all my years of knowing you both. You’ve had a huge influence in my childhood and helped me become the man I am today. Thank you, Nan and Nanny Ben.
Now I would like to take a moment in thanking my whole family. From the moment I introduced Emily, all of you here today made Emily feel welcome. She’s always felt included and you’ve treated her like one of the family. For that we are both truly grateful.
Can you please put your hands together for Emily’s bridesmaids, Sophie, Beth and Demi who I’m sure you will all agree look absolutely stunning. I want to thank them for all the support they’ve given Emily into making sure she has a wonderful wedding day.
Uncle Mark, thank you for taking on the role of being my best man and standing by my side today. I’m truly grateful for everything you’ve done for me over the years.
Thank you for organising a great stag do. It’s safe to say everyone enjoyed themselves. What I’m most thankful for is not wake up the next morning chained to a lamppost. Although I still can’t say the following morning was easy.
Can you please put your hands together for our two ushers Jordan and Luca for helping to make sure today went as planned. Thank you for guiding our guests to their seats and handing out the order of service.
I have one more thank you left, then you can all go back to drinking. And of course, I’m saving the best till last. Emily, where do I begin to say how much I love you and how happy I am I can now call you my wife. Writing this was truly easy, because I switched off my brain (which doesn’t take a lot) and let my heart do the talking.
Words can’t describe how beautiful you look today. Just knowing I’m sharing the rest of my life with you makes me already feel I’ve succeeded in life.
We’ve been planning this wedding for well over a year now. Well, I say “we”, Emily actually did all the work, as one of the best things about being a man, is that weddings just seem to organise themselves.
Now I know that makes me sound like I haven’t wanted to help, but whenever I asked Emily if there was anything I could do to take the weight off her shoulders, the answer was usually “ummmmm no”. She even ended up taking over the groomsman suit fitting. And I really did try keeping that for myself to say I had done something.
Emily has worked so hard and put so much effort into making today possible. She has organised and arranged things I would never even consider. She has gone into so much detail and really has thought about everything.
I’ve been so amazed watching you plan this wedding. Your organisation skills have overwhelmed me! And I already knew you liked being organised! You’ve done an amazing job babe and I think I can speak on behalf of everyone here today when I say we want you to enjoy today without any worries you may have.
I feel so lucky to have found a bride that not only has the same sense of humour as me but is beautiful and kind. You have a gorgeous smile and seeing that smile anytime of the day puts a smile on my face. I don’t always make the right decisions in life, but one thing I know for sure, marrying you will never be one of them.
We’ve definitely come a long way together and had some challenging times. But I feel we have taught each other so much along the way. No relationship is easy, and there will always be challenges waiting for us. But I can honestly say with confidence, as long as we always face them together, we can do anything.
You are my rock and I love you with all my heart.
Thank you for giving me purpose.
Now can I ask you all to stand and raise a glass to the love of my life Emily. To Emily. Thank you.”
I love this groom speech because it’s short, sweet, and simple. Having said that, let’s look at how to write something similar, if not better than that.
To do that, let’s first look at the structure of the entire wedding speech by the groom. Do you have any idea what that is? Ok, I will help you out.
When you scroll up this page and read that groom speech sample once again, you will realize that the whole thing is built on these pillars:
- Introductory remarks
- The body or content of the groom speech
- The conclusion or closing remarks
The introductory remarks are not hard to pick out, right? Let’s cull out excerpts from it if you can’t find it.
Here it is.
“On behalf of my wife and I, we would like to welcome you all to our special day and thank you all for coming. We are thrilled to have so many of our family and close friends surrounding us today, and some of you have travelled a long way to be here and for that we are honoured. Thank you all for your gifts and generous contributions to our honeymoon…

Is there something you picked up from that passage? I mean anything that jumps out at you? Reading through those excerpted versions intently, you will notice that the theme of gratitude runs through it.
Remember the proverb that says it takes a whole village to raise up a child? It makes a lot of sense here because so many people have probably helped mold you and the bride into who you are today.
So, first and foremost, grab your pen and writing pad or open up that laptop and put down their names and what you’d like to tell them.
Do you have such personalities in mind? First on the list, should be your mom and dad.
Second, the mom and dad of the bride and her whole extended family.
Third, your uncles and aunts.
Fourth, the best man/groomsman/ushers etc.
Fifth, the bridesmaid.
The list goes on and on. As an aside, make sure you mention why you are thanking them.
I love assignments. So, I want you to do this right now. Jot down names of people you would like to express gratitude to. That should be rather easy to do. Don’t doubt yourself. Just give it a try. You can!
Now, let’s look at…
How to Write the Content of Your Groom’s Speech
The body or content of your groom speech should be fairly easy to write. But, it gets so hard when you have to wrap up all those scattered ideas into a very short piece.
It can be overwhelming if you have dated the bride for a very long time and you have tons of memories in your head.
Thankfully, the above template can help us put our exact thoughts and emotions into a coherent structure or order with ease.
Let’s look at parts of it so we can easily figure it out. Let’s do this together.
‘’ Words can’t describe how beautiful you look today. Just knowing I’m sharing the rest of my life with you makes me already feel I’ve succeeded in life…I feel so lucky to have found a bride that not only has the same sense of humour as me but is beautiful and kind. You have a gorgeous smile and seeing that smile anytime of the day puts a smile on my face. ‘’
There are so many ways of making the bride feel so proud.
First, you can compliment her looks and wedding dress before you segue into a brief story about how you met the bride.
Second, you can just launch into your groom speech by sharing an anecdote about you met the bride.
Third, to make your groom speech memorable and unique, you can just render your speech into a song and belt it out if you have a really good voice. This is a classic example.
Fourth, you can use what I call the combo approach to make it super memorable and distinct. This is how it works.
- Write a story about how and where you met
- You can make it funny by sharing how you balance each other out.
- Once, you have got it all down on paper, you can start practicing by telling a story and then ending with a well-known love song or a poem.
This Is How To Come Up With Ideas For The Content.
- Mention how and where you met
- Write down what drew you to her
- Jot down what you really like about her
- Write down a lot of fun and fond memories or anecdotes and pick out what you would like to use
- Mention why you love her and your dreams for the years to come.
Next, put your ideas together to form a rough draft. You can always go back to edit it to suit your style and personality.
Finally, let’s look at…
How To Write The Closing Remarks Of Your Groom Speech
Helen Keller made a profound statement that the best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched; they must be felt with the heart. How you conclude your groom’s speech must be felt with the heart too if you want to end on an impactful note.
It is not uncommon for the vast majority to conclude their groom wedding speeches with sentiments like this: ''Here's to my lovely bride...cheers''
That was just a tip of the iceberg. There are actually more ways of ending with a bang and I am happy to share a few ways of wrapping up on a memorable note.
First, you can give a very special gift to the bride. What do you consider to be a great gift for her?
Second, if you are talented musically, you can write down your promises and add your voice to it and you will end up delivering an emotional or romantic groom speech like this one:
Third, you can end it all by reciting a powerful love poem. You may model it after your promises or vows.
P.S: Most grooms do this...Have you ever considered it? Want to write and give a great wedding speech like the one above but can't seem to get started because you don't know the exact words to use?
Or not too sure if what you intend writing will be well received by the guests?
Let's help you make the bride and your family and friends proud and let the wedding guests say great things about your speech.
Here’s what one nervous person called Glen sent over after the wedding was over.
Hey Dan, I just wanted to thank you once again for the speech you wrote with me. My goal was met afterward, I was told by many "what a beautiful speech" and received a standing ovation. I couldn't have done this without you. God Bless Dan!- Glen, U.S.A
