Now, Here You Go!
Good evening and welcome everyone.
I’m John, Dan’s dad and it gives me great joy and honor to see the smiling faces of so many people who love and cherish my son, the bride and both families.
We have waited for months for this special time and would like to thank everyone, especially Michelle’s family, who has flown all the way from South Africa to share in our joy and happiness.
Back in 1980, when Dan, our precious little gem was born, we were the happiest parents on earth.
Very determined to be one of the greatest parents ever, we would spend, what seemed like hours, just adoring and playing with the precious gift God had blessed me with. What was in store for him for the rest of his life, of course, we just couldn’t figure out.
But, I had a dream that someday, Dan would grow up into a happy, loving, loyal, responsible, and compassionate human being.
But, I knew it was our responsibility to make that happen since what you give back to your children is what they give back to the world and the next generation.
And so we gave him unconditional love, hoping that he, too, would grow into a loving person and share his heart and blessings with others.
Watching Dan mature into a fine young man like a fragrant flower in bloom as the years whizzed by was my greatest joy ever.
Dan, I stand here in front of you today, the proudest dad that ever lived because you are the fulfillment of our cherished dreams.
Deep down in my heart, I know I have done my very best to be your dad. Being your dad is a joy and privilege and I want you to know I love you so much.
But, as you are pretty much aware, there are so many decisions the most caring dad can’t make for his son no matter the depth of his love.
And so, I prayed and hoped that you would act like a sage every step of the way.
When you became best friends with Michelle, I had this comforting assurance that you had met the love of your life and I’m so excited that you’ve found such a dignified woman.
And to you Michelle, we are thankful that you agreed to marry Dan. If there were ever one person in this entire world I could pick for him, it would be you and only you.
We are blessed that you now are a part of our family and we know you’re going to be an amazing wife seeing you’re a thoughtful, sensitive and loving person as well.
On this note, I’d like to welcome you into our family with open arms and we know that the new bonds of friendship forged will wax stronger in the years ahead.
ADDRESSES COUPLE
What makes me even more excited for both of you is the fact you both have this keen sense of humor that will help a great deal when difficulties arise.
Your marriage like all others will certainly have its share of conflict, frustration, boredom, unresolvable arguments, slammed doors and even nights when one person sleeps on the couch and the other on the bed but what I want you to bear in mind is that we don’t worry marry the person we can live with.
Rather, we marry the person we can’t live without.
So, you have to let go quickly if you find yourselves entangled in that situation.
Guess what? The smartest investor that ever lived will tell you over and over again that all kinds of investment options can be very risky.
But, that’s not the case when you decide to invest in loving each other till the end of time.
Loving each other each day of your lives like there’s no tomorrow is the fail-proof investment every couple can ever make given that love never fails.
Yes, it never fails.
So, always invest your time and energy in making each other happy. In making each other laugh when times are tough and in making each other feel loved.
Unconditional love will keep your souls very much intact and alive and will also be your safety net you have an empty nest.
I look forward to a life of pure joy for both of you and I want you to experience life to the fullest.
I look forward to babies (if that’s in the cards), and babies, babies.
Never mind if they are uncountable as the stars because I will be there to give them my boundless love and support.
God bless you and I wish you the very best.
Wow...Wow...Wow...How would you grade this very fine example? It's perfect, right?
I’m John, Dan’s dad and it gives me great joy and honor to see the smiling faces of so many people who love and cherish my son and the entire family.
We have waited for months for this special time and would like to thank everyone, especially Michelle’s family, who has flown all the way from South Africa to share in our joy and happiness.''
My comments/ writing ideas: On this same blog, I taught about the importance of starting your toast on a memorable note and that's exactly what you have seen exhibited here.
The writer weaves into his opening lines the essential elements of a good opener and they include the following pointers:
greetings based on when the wedding reception or rehearsal is happening
his name(in this case, the father of the groom) and his relationship to the groom and bride
expression of gratitude to the guests for coming from far and near to support his son and daughter on such a special occassion
Please note:There are a couple of other things he could have added to enrich his intro like:
Thanking the bride’s family for welcoming his son into their family because the father or mother of the bride might have spoken before he did.
In that case, just thank the bride’s parents for their love and support without commenting about their speeches since it's not customary for the parents of the bride to deliver one at the rehearsal dinner. Though, some are deviating from the norm.
As part of your introduction, you can thank those who helped you raise your son as well as seen below:
''I would like to take this moment to thank Simon and Amanda – my parents who cared for Dan and for the love and support all these years, etc.''
There are other family members and friends you can add to the gratitude list.
Enough said for that. Please, let’s move on to the main speech or body itself.
Don’t Joke With This
First, let’s cover part 1 of the body. Here's an excerpt to guide us on our way.
''Back in 1980, when Dan, our precious little gem was born, we were the happiest parents on earth.
Very determined to be one of the greatest parents ever, we would spend, what seemed like hours, just adoring and playing with the precious gift God had blessed me with.
What was in store for him for the rest of his life, of course, we just couldn’t figure out.''
My comments/ writing ideas: The writer masterfully kick starts his speech by capturing the attention of the guests when he says...
Back in 1980, when Dan, our precious little gem was born as he uses the storytelling approach of engaging the audience from the onset.
Suppose, you want to use this storytelling approach, then you’ve got put down memories of how you felt when your son was born.
I recently wrote a speech for a very wonderful man and he asked that I include a funny incident when he was expecting the arrival of his first child. He was so nervous like a frying fish in hot oil that he had totally forgotten where the family was parked cat when it was announced that he had to move his car to let someone drive out.
That memory made his father of the groom's speech so nice and special and the guests really enjoyed every minute of it.
Action Tip Just sit back and see if you can recall the day he was born and write it down. Why not speak to his mom if your memory is like a goldfish or even a kitchen sieve?
Ok, let's get to part 2 of the body of the speech. Again, here's a short summary to guide us forward.
''But, I had a dream that someday, Dan would grow up into a happy, loving, loyal, responsible, and compassionate human being.
But, I knew it was our responsibility to make that happen since what you give back to your children is what they give back to the world.
And so we gave him unconditional love, hoping that he, too, would share his love with others.
Watching Dan mature into a fine young man like a fragrant flower in bloom as the years whizzed by was my greatest joy ever.''
My comments/ writing ideas: You can infer from the above extract that Dan's dad is so proud of him. Now, sit back and ask yourself why you are so proud of your son. If you've got couple of ideas, just write them down. You can simply mention his accomplishments or simply mention why you are ecstatic that he's found the love of his life.
Ok, let's look at other parts of this narrative.
''Dan, I stand here in front of you today, the proudest dad that ever lived because you are the fulfillment of our cherished dreams.
Deep down in my heart, I know I have done my very best to be your dad. Being your dad is a joy and privilege and I want you to know I love you so much.
But, as you are pretty much aware, there are so many decisions the most caring dad can’t make for his son no matter the depth of his love.
And so, I prayed and hoped that you would act like a sage every step of the way. When you became best friends with Amanda, I had this comforting assurance that you had met the love of your life and I’m so excited that you’ve found such a dignified woman.''
My comments/ writing ideas: To come up with good ideas to enable your narration to flow like a peaceful stream, you can begin by writing down answers to simple questions like these:
Why are you so proud of your son?
What were your dreams for him growing up?
Why were you excited when they became best friends?
The game's not over yet...so let's look at this critical aspect of the speech.
''And to you Amanda, we are thankful that you agreed to marry Adam. If there were ever one person in this entire world I could pick for him, it would be you and only you.
We are blessed that you now are a part of our family and we know you’re going to be an amazing wife seeing you’re a thoughtful, sensitive and loving person as well.
On this note, I’d like to welcome you into our family with open arms and we know that the new bonds of friendship forged will wax stronger in the years ahead.''
My comments/ writing ideas:After you have said something about your son, you have to talk about your daughter-in-law too. Here, you can about her admirable qualities and how you felt when she became your son's best friend.
Someone asked me the other day, what if you know very little or even nothing about her? Great question… I am glad that the fellow asked it.
Well, in that case, you have to be honest by making a statement like this one:
''Every woman deserves to love and be loved, respected, care for and am happy you've found someone who really loves you. ''
Or
You can say something along these lines: '' I can see from the look in your eyes that you really love each other and i hope and pray that your love for each other will get you through whatever life throws at you.''
The speech sample continues...
''What makes me even more excited for both of you is the fact you both have this keen sense of humor that will help a great deal when difficulties arise.
Your marriage like all others will certainly have its share of conflict, frustration, boredom, unresolvable arguments, slammed doors and even nights when one person sleeps on the couch and the other on the bed but what I want you to bear in mind is that we don’t worry marry the person we can live with.

God bless you and I wish you the very best. ''
My comments/ writing ideas:As you can see, you should end with a piece of advice or you can simply wish the happy couple well or even add a verse from the bible to end it if you are a Christian. Now, i want you to think about this. Most conclusions of father of the groom speeches sound the same, if not similar.
Is there are anyway you can make yours unique and different? A hint: you may end with a song if you have a good voice or can play a musical instrument. Is there anything you can think about to jazz things up a bit?
P.S: Most dads do this...Have you 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 your son, wife, and family proud, and let the wedding guests say great things about your speech.
Here’s what one nervous and skeptical dad 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

Below is the complete speech sample. Please read it carefully and make notes.
Good evening and thanks, everyone.
Thanks so much for coming to share in the joy and joining of John and Ruth. I am Mary, John's mom. Thanks so much for your support, kind words and generosity.
Before I get started, I wanted to take time to thank everyone for helping John and Ruth plan a fantastic. I know it wasn’t easy, but thank God we have a pretty easy going couple to work with…right?
I also want to thank my sister Evelyn and her husband Jerry for all the hard work they did to make this night amazing.
Their marriage brings back nostalgic memories of when Dan and I got married in 1980.
As a couple, one of our proudest moments was when we had John, our charming prince. His birth brought so much joy, peace and a sense of belonging.
My mind goes back to when several times at night, I’d wake up and look into his beautiful, smiling eyes and be completely overwhelmed with a sense of wonder, joy, and responsibility for my extraordinary child.
Growing up, John loved to do rap music, play hockey and write poetry. I’ll never forget how proud I felt when he wrote a mother’s day poem saying how proud he was to have me as his mom.
John, you asked me in that poem how I managed to do it all by myself. Many times, I’d wake up when you were fast asleep wondering how I was going to raise you both when your dad passed on and that brought me to tears so many times.
I must say it’s been by the grace of God. Plus it has taken the blood, toil, and sweat of an entire village to make you who you really are.
Take Jerry who had to sacrifice so much of his time and energy and finances to keep our bodies and soul together.
But, I must admit that raising you and Alex hasn't been a smooth ride at all. Just look at my hair if that doesn’t tell you something.
Each day came with his own challenges but I was determined to lay down my life for you so you could become a successful man.
Today is the day to rejoice in knowing that my dreams for you have come true.
Today is the day to rejoice in knowing you are getting married to this beautiful woman Ruth.
Thanks for being there for me and I am going to miss being at the gym with you. I love you so much.
Ruth thanks a lot for being there for John and the entire family all along. I love you and want to thank you for bringing out the best in him. I admire your sense of honesty, empathy, and integrity and I trust that you are going to be an amazing wife and mom.
On this note, I’d like to welcome you and your family into our hearts and home. We love you so much.
Today is a very special day for making memories and celebrating your love for each other. I know you have had your own relationship challenges already but I admire how your collective sense of purpose and willingness to hold on has kept your hearts still ablaze with love's refining fire.
That to me is very crucial to building a formidable marriage.
Marriage is a test of real love and you should expect both good and bad times, including some rough storms. Riding through these storms together, leaning on each other for strength and courage as allies, strengthens the marriage bonds.
As long as you weather the storms together, your marriage will endure. No matter what, keep your sense of humor and you’ll make it through these storms just fine, with love
So, don't forget to still love -it -out so your love for each other grows so strong each and every day.
May you come to love each other like never before and may you grow in love so your kids can feel the warmth that comes from your tender hearts.
I wish you well and God bless you.

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

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 son’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 son and daughter-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.
