Father Of The Bride Speech Samples : Are they really useful in helping come up with a memorable speech for your daughter?
How father of the bride speech samples can help you to easily and quickly write a beautiful speech for your daughter on her wedding day even if you don't know what to say
The following tips and ideas are guaranteed to help you put down your exact thoughts and emotions into beautiful words so you can make your daughter feel so proud
Samuel John, a philosopher was right when he said that a father’s love is an ancient treasure. But his message could have been more profound if he had said that a father's word is the light that illuminates his children’s heart.
Sam’s quote brings to the mind the words father's use on their daughter’s big day. As a dad, there are many heartwarming gifts you can give your daughter as she ties the knot with the man of her dreams, but I think you’ll agree with me when I say that your words are the best gift you can ever give your precious daughter because they can go a long way towards making her a fantastic wife and mom.
Even though most dads dream of giving the best father of the bride speeches, a lot of dads do that because they don’t know how to get the right words and ideas, let alone put down their exact thoughts and emotions together to create a speech that will make their daughters feel so proud.
Well, if you find yourself having to write down something heartfelt or you even have an idea of what to say, but not too sure how to go about it, don’t worry.
By God’s grace, I have been writing speeches for dads all over the world, and I will be happy to share with you how you too can effortlessly write something short, sweet, and unique without beating your brains out.
Before we do, I want you to get this right since it’s the bedrock of your success.
Why Most Dads Might Fail To Make It And What To Do Instead
What plagues most dads when they write to me is how to put up splendid performances without embarrassing their daughters.
Well, I totally understand their concerns and fears and I always do my best to help those I can. I can only attribute their fear of failure to
- Fear of the unknown
- Fear of past failures coming back to haunt them
You might a little nervous because of those reasons and more. It gets particularly daunting if you’re someone who hates speaking before a crowd or you know deep down in your heart that your performance at your child's wedding sometime back wasn’t so impressive.
Can you please forget about all that and let your sense of optimism shine through this instead? I believe you’re destined for success so just ignore that little nagging voice that seems to spook you.
Now, Here’s The Proven Tool I Use All the Time and I Recommend You Use It Too
Father of the bride speech samples has proven over and over again to be the antidote to all your speech worries.
And guess what they do? They help get rid of the guesswork and the worries that are associated with saying something touching about your daughter.
However, if you don’t use it well, it can be a real drawback. I have seen so many father's misuse them poorly that they wished they used them verbatim to help express their deepest desires of their heart.
Now, Here’s How to Use Them Well, So You Can Make Your Daughter Proud
First, get some proven or well-written speech samples like this one and study them over and over again to get a feel of their structure, theme, and tone.
There are many of those examples online but I found out that great videos are really helpful if you need some dose of inspiration.
I sometimes watch them before jotting down my ideas. So this is what I recommend you do before writing
- please go get your pen and a writing pad
- Next press the play button of the videos below and jot down ideas, words, and phrases you feel you can use for your own script.

How About This One?
That's not all...The written word should complement videos like a good husband and wife. So, there are times I read short speeches like this brief example to get my creative juice flowing.
Well, you can read this short example below and also see if you can find some great ideas in there. This is a rather short father of the bride speech or toast.
For those of you who don’t know me or yet to met this loquacious old man, then you are missing out on something because they say I love to talk.
Well, I am Mike a.k.a The Man with the white beard. I don’t know where that name came from though. But I understand that when I was a teenager, I love the shape of my first moustache that my parents nicknamed me Mr. Moustache.
What do you expect when you are lucky to come from a fun-loving family like mine?
Now, let me talk about my little girlfriend Sandy. Sandy was like a side chick. We were very close and she loved coloring. She was never one to color within the lines. She made it a point to color outside the lines as well.
She developed a love for animals at a young age. Animals mostly dog and cats seem to respond very favorably to her. I can still remember her marrying her cats and dogs in our backyard and asking them to recite them their vows while cheering them on.
Sandy could walk miles without breaking a sweat as though she was a robot. On one occasion she disappeared from home when she was about 5 years old. We had the police combing the neighborhood doing a search. She finally heard me calling out for her. I said “where are you”…she said... ''I’m sleeping in my
Dollhouse...You don't have to worry about me''
She had fallen asleep in her dollhouse while we were totally drenched in sweat. Sandy didn’t like to be told she couldn’t do something or she would be unable to. She took on those instances as a challenge to prove to herself she could.
She was not one to back down from a challenge. A competitive edge she gets from her mom.
It’s so amazing how time flies and it was just like yesterday she held my hands and said, Dad you would always be my number one. She means the world to me. But when I saw her with Mike, I knew it was only a matter of time.
And how right I was. Now, they are. Mike is a great guy. He’s fun to be around. She makes my daughter happy and I couldn’t be happier to call him my son.
They are both driven and I am confident that both of them will draw the strength and love and inspiration they need to love each other. God bless you and keep you until the end of time.
Please turn off your cell phone, P.C, or anything that is likely to distract you and look at the above example again.
Now, grab a pen and give it a second or even a third look, and identify how it was written and also put down any idea that comes to you. A final observation will not be a bad idea at all.
Afterward, get a theme for your own speech. The theme is basically what your delivery will be all about.
I have written speeches on themes like achievement, love, and compassion for others.
While most dads don’t mind asking me to add feats chalked by their daughters (scholarly or sports), they always ask me to share their beautiful qualities like
- Love and compassion
- Perseverance and persistence
- Fun and hilarity
- Making a difference in the life of others
- Being there for the family at all times
So, cast your mind back to what the years have been like and write down what really makes your daughter a unique person.
How To Put Your Thoughts Together To Form A Beautiful Speech
Having listed as many points as you can plus some stories about your daughter, you can start writing.
Just write whatever is on your mind without worrying about the flow because you can always go back to re-frame your thoughts or even clean it up later.
Deciding to make your speech long or short depends on your storyline but make sure it’s interesting and that your speech doesn’t go beyond the allotted time unless it's very entertaining.
A Few Key Points (Below) To Note As You Put Your Words Together
As you work on your speech, you have to write in your own voice or style without borrowing from the example you have got. Again, your choice of words should be a reflection of your personal demeanor and not based on sentimentalism or on the opinion of others.
No matter how eloquent you are or your intellectual capabilities, you shouldn’t use big words in such endeavors as they break the rhythm, flow, and understanding of your speech.
Use simple easy to understand phrases and words and your audience will enjoy every bit of it.
Follow This Order Unless You Are A Genius
Next is the structure of your script. The structure is made up of the intro, heading and conclusion.
The introduction should reiterate who you are and your relationship to the bridal couple. It is also a fine opportunity to flatter the audience and to thank them for participating in the wedding celebration.
By the way, here’s an another example of a well-written introduction by a great king that's worth reading.
Today, many people are so much concerned about the future of today’s world but the message of this celebration in this room and far beyond is the right one – this is a joyful day!
It is good that my family and you -lovely guests - are able to share in these celebrations because this is, as every wedding day should be, a day of hope, a day of warmth and, a day of strength when you know that many people have come from far and near to make it memorable.
In a sense, every wedding is a royal wedding with the bride and groom as a king and queen of God’s creation, and you as witnesses. Good evening, Ladies and Gentlemen. I am Mike, Amanda’s dad and Jerry’s father-in-law.
(Now pause here and read that sample once more and ask yourself if you can write something similar or better... I am sure you can )
Have you seen how the speaker succeeds in grabbing the attention of the wedding guests even before he tells them who he is? (comment: what you write should be close to that, if not better)
The body is the part that hooks the audience and paints a picture in their mind’s eye when she was growing up.
Here’s what to include in this part and what not to include here (We will cover an example later)
- How your daughter was when growing up
- Share memorable events or funny memories
- Pay a tribute to her mom or anyone who helped in her upbringing.
- It is also important to say some kind words about her siblings if they helped
- How you felt when she told you of your son-in-law
- Welcome your son-in-law formally into your family and share some marital advice
- Refrain from commenting on her previous love life
- Express your hope for this marriage
- Always end with a toast to the bridal couple
Now let me be kind enough and show the body of a father of the bride's speech sample since I love examples.
Please feel free to borrow from this father's speech sample or simply tweak it a bit to make it your own. The example below is part of the great king's introductory remarks.
A Very Short Speech
The promise you've made to each other today reminds me of what my dad told me about the wedding ring some 30 years before I got married to Amanda.
He told me to always look at my ring when times get tough for they will remind me of my never-ending love.
Over the years, I have seen what he told me unfold before my very eyes. But through it all, we've been there for each other.
Victoria, Dan, listen to my words and they will heal you like the balm of Gilead.
In your walk together, you'll experience pain. You'll laugh sometimes and you'll face the pressures of life too.
But if you look beyond the cares and burdens of this world, and look to each other for support, your love will burn brighter. This is the meaning of your vows fulfilled and your lives made richer and prosperous.
(Comments: there are many ways to write the body of your father of the bride speech and adding a piece of advice at the end is just a step in the right direction)
Dan, my son in law, we most heartily welcome you into our family and we congratulate you on your choice of spouse. You are very blessed to have Victoria.
(comments: your speech should formally invite your son-in-law to your family so you need to add it to what you will write too)

Father Of The Bride Speech Or Toast For Daughter On Her Wedding Day
Tips And Ideas That Can Easily Help You Write A Simple And Brilliant Father of the Bride Speech That Will Make Your Daughter So Proud on Her Wedding Day
Were They Right And Your Daughter Wrong?
Michelle didn’t like the idea of asking her dad to give a father of the bride wedding speech on her wedding day.
She knew her dad didn't have the guts to speak confidently, let alone face the wedding guests.
Her dad had told her countless times that public speaking wasn’t his thing as he had a rather unpleasant experience when called to say some words before his class in grade 6.
She knew dad might turn down her request even if she managed to cajole him into giving a father of the bride wedding speech.
Even though she didn't want to, she was rather conflicted as she'd heard from friends and family that her dad was the first person to give a speech on her special day.
Worried Dad Looks For A Quick Solution So He Doesn’t Let His Daughter Down
After a lengthy chat with Mike, he agreed to her proposal because he didn't want to let her baby girl down. But the old man was very nervous as deer in the headlight as the wedding day drew near.
He just didn't know what to say, neither was he fully aware of the etiquette involved in delivering a memorable speech.
One sunny day, he went to sit by a calm lake to reflect on what to say and what not say and it was here that he found answers to the questions he'd been thinking of.
While seated on a wooden bench, he spotted afar off someone he thought he admired but had never had the chance to meet in person. To his blissful surprise, he realized it was a local TV anchorman that was a renowned public speaker.
''Thank God, I have met him'', he muttered as he strode off in his direction. After they exchanged pleasantries, he asked for his help.
''You can make it, Mike. Just relax and start your speech with a good joke or something similar and it will break the ice '' he assured him. Michelle’s dad took advantage of their brief encounter and what he learned turned things around dramatically.
On the wedding day, he grabbed the mic from the master of ceremonies after being called to speak and began with these words:
''Bonsoir Madames et Messieurs.Vous etes Bienvenue...Then he added: Good evening and welcome everyone.''
The groom's family was French and his opening remarks absolutely won their hearts. Everyone was simply stunned by his eloquence in French and how he began his speech so beautifully.
They were in awe and everyone gave him warm applause before he resumed his speech. Someone who had traveled all the way from France actually thought he was French.
At the end of his toast, he got so many compliments that her daughter almost melted with joy and pride when she hugged him tightly.
Let This Thing Count If You Want To Be Complimented
How you start your speech will contribute to making your speech a hit or not.
A good opening or introduction will not only endear you to the wedding guests, but also break the ice so you can speak with poise, flair, and confidence.
Remember, first impressions are always golden. Granted, here are tips and tricks to help you give an introduction that will earn you the respect of the audience.
If you are going to speak at an interracial wedding as Mike did, you could take the pains to learn how the other family greets in their language.
For instance, if your daughter is marrying a German, you can learn to say good evening or good afternoon and weave it into your message. What if I don't know anyone who can give me lessons in German?
You need not worry. You can simply look it up in the search engines or ask the groom to help you. If he can’t speak his mother tongue, he can still ask his family for help.
Having gotten help from him, you should try pronouncing the words your own way. Your pronunciation or articulation doesn't have to be perfect because how you say it might ultimately make your delivery fun and exciting.
- You might also decide to begin with a quote on marriage or your personal reflections on it.
To bring out the creative genius in you, you can render your introduction in song. Take for instance the lyrics of this popular 1961 love song by Ben E. King
When the night has come
And the land is dark
And the moon is the only light we'll see
No, I won't be afraid,
No, I won't be afraid
Just as long as you stand, by me
So darling, stand by me, oh, stand by me,
Oh, stand, stand by me, stand by me.
If the sky that we look upon
Should tumble and fall
Or the Mountain should crumble in the sea,
I won't cry,
I won't cry,
No, I won't shed a tear.
Just as long as you stand, stand by me.
You can make the verse above your own by substituting some words with your daughter's name and the groom!
Here's How To Do Just That!
No, Jackie won't be afraid
So long as Jerry, stand by her
So Jerry, stand by her, oh, stand by her,
Oh, stand, stand by her, stand by her.
If the sky that we look upon
Should tumble and fall
Or the Mountain should crumble in the sea,
She won't cry,
I won't cry,
No, I won't shed a tear.
Because I know Jerry will be standing so close.
Got the picture? You can model your speech after that and everyone will love your speech because you will be doing something that's so unique.
Have You thought About Asking The Guests Questions?
By commencing your father of the bride wedding speech with a question, the audience will be more receptive to your message and you'll build rapport for that.
An example is: Ladies and gentlemen, how would you feel if you have to give away your only child? Well, I am filled with mixed emotions because of ...
You can also decide to tie your message to a story or to a quote or even an important date in history.
Have You Seen This Example Too?
Let's see how humorist Garrison Keillor's quote: ''A daughter is a high-class hostage.'' can be turned into a brief speech.
Comedian and Storyteller Garrison Keillor's once said that the father of a daughter is nothing but a high-class hostage.
That’s true because a father turns a stony face to his sons, berates him, shakes his antlers, paws the ground, snorts, runs them off into the underbrush, but when his daughter puts her arm around his shoulder and says,'' Daddy, I need to ask you something,'' he feels like a pat of butter in a hot frying pan.
But when his daughter tells him that she has found the man of her dreams, he freezes like ice because...
(Comment/writing ideas): This piece can be humorous too. But if you want to achieve that feeling, then, your facial expressions and gestures should match the words used)
Well, I want to make things fairly easy for you, so let's look at this short example by King Carl Gustaf XVI of Sweden when his daughter tied the knot! You can watch the video below to get a feel for it. Mind you, his message is in Swedish.
The good news is I was able to find a transcript of his speech in English....See below
His speech in English:
Your majesties, your imperial highness, your royal highness's, Ladies and Gentlemen, Her Majesty the Queen and I wish to greet you with a most heartily welcome to the royal palace and to the wedding gala dinner.
(comments/writing ideas): It is mandatory to start your address by greeting the guests and that's what it's portrayed here.
On behalf of my family and especially on behalf of my oldest daughter and son-in-law I wish to thank you for coming and participating in our joy.
(comments/writing ideas): Some couples decide to give separate talks. But if you want to do a joint speech, then you should do so on behalf of your wife as clearly stated above....''On behalf of my family...''
You will always be a part of this unforgettable and memorable day. Your royal highness's Crown Prince Daniel and Princess Victoria! Dear Newlyweds! I will like to wish you all the best for your life ahead together!
It is a major step in life to enter into marriage for not only the bride and groom but also their parents. The promise you have made to each other today on mutual support and loyalty ties the two of you further together.
It is, however, an unavoidable consequence of your decision that the ties to your parents thus will be changed. From now on, your first loyalty will be to one another.
We as parents take joy in the affection by which you look at each other. But — as so many parents before us have experienced — the joy of seeing one's children standing on their own to build their families, is also spiced with a touch of grief..
(comments/writing ideas): You have to share how you feel about the occasion and giving your daughter away as depicted above
Dear Victoria!
You are the successor to the throne of Sweden. It is a mission that comes with duties and responsibilities. And it is with pride and gratitude I have seen you grow into this role.
One day you will — because so it is stated in our constitution — succeed me as the head of state of Sweden. My mind is put at ease when I see the wisdom and determination by which you prepare yourself for this task.......
Our relation is, however, deeper than that between a monarch and his successor. I am your father. You are my beloved daughter.
No one should believe anything else than that my highest wish has always been — and is — to see you happy......
(comments/writing ideas): Your words won't create the desired impact if you don't tell her how proud you are of her
Dear Daniel!
On behalf of the Queen and myself, I would like to welcome you most warmly into our family. We would also like to congratulate our daughter on her choice of husband. And we — your parents-in-law — congratulate you on your choice of wife.
We have got to know you as a very ambitious and skillful entrepreneur. I have often been impressed by the purposefulness and the go-ahead spirit which you have shown. And we have with approval noticed the energy and determination by which you have been preparing yourself for your mission as Prince Consort. That is: to give your wife, the Crown Princess, support and confidence.
We are also delighted to have made the acquaintance with your parents Eva and Olle Westling as well as your large and lovely family.
(comments/writing ideas): After talking about the bride, you have to give a few remarks about the groom and his family.
Dear Victoria and Daniel!
The Queen and I, Prince Carl Philip and Princess Madeleine would like to congratulate you and wish you all the best. On your walk through life together, you can always count on our support and affection. And we pray that God Almighty always will be merciful to you.
Finally, I would like to propose a toast to — and that we all raise a cheer for — the Crown Princess and Prince Daniel, our beloved and beautiful bridal couple.
Four cheers for them!
(comments/writing ideas): That's how most speeches are concluded. So feel free to borrow a few words you feel will be appropriate for your closing lines.
Isn't that beautiful? Well done Your Majesty! Don’t panic because you too can write a memorable father of the bride wedding speeches like his.
How? Please read on

Short Father of the Bride Speech or Toast: How to write a short and sweet father of the bride speech without breaking a sweat
Want to give the best father of the bride speech ever but can't seem to get started?
Kiss your worries goodbye because this short piece will give you tips and examples that will help you deliver a speech that will make your daughter and family so proud even if your writing sucks or you absolutely hate speaking in public.
The following ideas and advice will help you develop a good structure for your toast, so let's begin by looking at what goes into preparing a great speech for your daughter.
First, Choose What Suits You Best
Part of making a great father of the bride speech is picking a style and that's what you should really consider before putting your ideas together on a piece of paper.
Depending on your personality, you can choose to write in a witty style, intelligent, dramatic, tender, poetic, rhythmic, narrative, and even funny.
Being a speech writer, I have come to realize that most dads like to give sentimental and funny speeches.
By the way, the guests are able to relate to your speech if you go for a style that reflects who you truly are and not what you think the guests will like you to do.
Put your wedding speech in your own words because there is no one like you- you are the first and last of your own kind. So,let your personality shine through it. It makes your work original and close friends and family will know that you are not delivering something fabricated.
What’s more, your daughter will appreciate your effort to making her day special by finding the creative style unique to you.
After you have picked your style, write down in a place you won’t forget how you want your speech to sound like.
Then start writing your speech. How so?
Ok, first and foremost, you can do that by putting yourself in the mood and that usually involves watching an amazing dad of the bride speeches videos like this one to get your creative juices flowing. So, click on the play button to watch it more than once if you like.
That was a superb delivery, right? It is and no wonder it was covered by most newspapers around the world. Well, you can model your speech after that clip if you really think it resonates with what you have in mind.
If it doesn't, then, this short by very effective example can help you do justice to your presentation. Ok, here’s a short example from a father to her daughter.
Good evening ladies and gentlemen, what a privilege, what a thrill,
what an extraordinary feeling of happiness my daughter’s marriage
has created in our family. (comments/writing ideas: the speaker greets and shares his sentiments about his daughter’s wedding.)
It represented the many changing scenes of life and the joy parents experience when their children find the love of their lives. (comments/writing ideas: he still expresses his emotion here about the thrill of seeing a daughter get married)
Michelle, when you first came into our lives, we were so happy and blessed.
So much has happened already. Now, there are two worlds – possibly even more - which from now on you will explore together, side by side with your husband and it’s a reality no woman can avoid.
The joy and strength you’ll give John is like the sun in the daytime which, with its radiance, melts all doubts and darkness on earth and like the moon at night, your deeds should shine with a watchful and delicate beam of gentleness, which extinguishes the mischief and deceit used by the symbols of darkness.
(comment/writing ideas: Having said something about her birth and her life as she was growing up, you have to say why you think she will be an amazing wife and that's exactly what this writer has done)
John, I have never met a person with more strength than you,
I have never met a person with such a big heart as you,
I have never seen a man with such an inner beauty as you,
You radiate an irresistible mix of wisdom and beauty, charm and decisiveness.
You are irresistible and powerful, sparkling and playful, and serious all at once.
We know that you have overcome so many challenges in your young life and i really admire you for that. (comment/writing ideas: talk your son- in- law too and advise him or say something thoughtful about him as you can see above)
On this note, we welcome you into our family with open arms and great joy. We’ve come to know you, and we have seen how your cheerful disposition graces every act.
We’re also delighted to have made the acquaintance with your parents.(comment/writing idea: never ever forget to welcome the groom into your family in any wedding speech you’ll ever give as father of the bride)
Though you belong to each other, we’ll always pray for you and you can always count on our support. We wish you well and the almighty God keep you safe and sound!
Can you write something better than that? I am sure you can!
To write something like what you just read, you have to make a rough outline of your speech by deciding how you want it to flow.
It typically follows this order:
- Greetings and short self-presentation and thank the guests for coming, their gifts, and sincerely compliment them
An example being
Good evening and welcome everyone. I am Mike, dad of the bride
Then, design bullet points for the body of your speech and some key points to take home here include
- Memories of when she was born
- What she was like when she was growing up
- Any trips or adventures you both embarked on
- Funny anecdotes or stories about her life
After you created your framework, review a well written sample speech so you get an idea of how best to put your scattered thoughts together.
If you’re not pressed for time, you can put it away after you're done writing the first draft and later revise a second or even a third time.
By the way, Father of the bride speeches vary per culture, ethnicity, race, religion, social class and creativity. A sketch of the father of the bride speech shown below shouldn’t be used as the rule.
Rather the order can be changed to suit your personal style, ethnic background or social class. The sketch is more of a speech guideline to enable you think outside the box.
If you feel like adding other items which you believe would add a unique touch, don’t hold back: It’s important that you ask the opinion of a close family member like your wife or your parents if you want to do so.
You Can Use This Father of the Bride Speeches Sketch Below
Start by telling briefly who you are, not everybody knows that. Remember, it’s about her(not you) so never assume the guests know you are. It’s only proper you re-introduce yourself even if it’s a very small wedding.
Welcome and thank the wedding guests for coming and sharing the joy of the day. Compliment their looks too.
Compliment your daughter and tell the guests how much she means to you and your wife. Talk about her character, job, hobbies and achievements.
Talk about your son-in-law and your impressions of him. Please put him in a positive light. His character, skill, passion and achievements can also be talked about.
From experience, most dads prefer to write about qualities of the groom that’s key in marriage like endurance, love, steadfastness, trust, commitment, etc. There was a time a father wrote to me and said that he didn’t know nothing about the groom and that got me thinking.
If you don’t know much about him or even nothing at all, please don’t put that across.
Instead, this example can serve as a guide.
John, it’s every dad’s dream that their daughter gets married to someone who loves her just as we do.
Whenever Amanda talks about you, her face lit up like the summer sun and that’s a sure sign that she loves you more than anything else.
Did you notice how I did ? That’s one of the ways to do that.
After you’ve said something about your future son-in-law, welcome him into the family and thank his parents for their love and support.
You may wrap up by giving a few words of advice.
Once, I was writing a speech for one of my clients and he said he wasn’t married. So, I asked him if he wanted to advise the couple and he humorously made a point that ''an advice is something you’ve paid for.''
He wasn’t a single man by choice though, and he felt it will be odd to throw that in.
So, I ended up adding the following lines to his conclusion:
I am sure you will keep loving each other till the end of times. We could not be more proud of both of you. God bless you
Father of the Bride Speeches always end with a toast to the health, peace, wealth and success of the bridal couple.
You can ask your wife or her mom to propose the toast if you decide to do a joint speech and that will be very commendable.
By the way, here are ideas you can consider if you want your speech to be unique and memorable
First, you can ditch the traditional ways of delivering speeches, and go for something original like this father did. I simply can't stop watching this amazing video!
Again,you can render your speech in poetry or make part speech, part song. Here’s a short piece if you decide to make yours poetic:
Just yesterday, you were like a treasure gift wrapped in warm blankets
You suddenly became the sun in our dark corners
The next thing we knew you were like fireworks
Every move you made, made us proud
But tonight, as you made that significant walk
Tears of gratitude bubbled up in me and something whispered into my ears and said:
The baby girl you once adored is now someone’s baby girl. I know not even an eternity can break the love your mom and I have for you
But, we take consolation in the fact that Dan loves you just as we do and we wish you both a long and happy marriage.
May your worries be less and joys many.
May you find joy in each other’s company
My darling, I always tell you that there are ups and downs in life
Just as you two go through life, you will experience same but always know that after rain comes the sun
We love you both and God bless you.
P.S---Can you come up with a great speech like the one above? As the father of the bride, everyone will be on the lookout for your great speech and you can't let the bride and her husband, friends, and family down by giving an ordinary speech.
By getting help, you can give the best speech of the day with poise and confidence even if you don't have a way with words.
Here’s what one nervous and skeptical dad called Glen(who asked for help) 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
