My heart aches anytime someone reaches out to us asking for help concerning their wedding speeches.
Though we get quite overwhelmed by such a demand, we really have no choice than to help such persons-since we started this blog with the goal of helping wedding speech givers give beautiful mother of the groom wedding speeches.
Notwithstanding, there are times many mothers come to us when they have 24 hours or less to their son’s wedding.
Whenever that happens, it puts undue stress on us to give such mothers our very best.
But, I don’t really like these late-comers because they don’t give us the opportunity to fully prepare them for their son’s big day. I’d send them a note after the wedding to ask them how they fared and I don’t hear anything from them at all most of the time.
Well, just this morning a late-comer made us happy when she
Investing in mother of the groom samples examples) is a wise decision a mother who really cares about the words she will use at her son’s wedding ceremony would ever make. Why?
That’s because proven mother speech examples can help you come up with a memorable presentation in less time without worrying so much about how to write your speech.
Granted, you need to know how to fully maximize them without copying the examples you’d find exactly since they are in another speaker’s voice and style.
The material should help you write your speech and so it should be used as a guide instead.
The Right Way To Use Speech Examples To Write A Great Speech
In order to get the best out of them, you should dedicate some time to study how the example you've got was written. The purpose of doing this is to get the contents into your subconscious mind.
If you don’t have one, don’t worry because you can watch videos like the one below to get some ideas and phrases you can use for your own speech.
The purpose of reading speech samples over and over again or re-watching that clip is to get acquainted with how mother speeches are given so they kind of get ingrained in your subconscious mind.
When the content is firmly implanted there, your brain will process it and show you how to go about things when you eventually start to put your scattered thoughts together to form a very logical and coherent presentation.
By the way, you should dedicate time to studying it at a time you won’t be distracted because you need to concentrate to glean ideas from it.
As you do that, get a pen or a highlighter and note pads so you can take some notes.
Put These Things Away
Turn off distractors like your cell phones, P.C, etc because they are likely to distract you. You will accomplish more in a quiet set up.
The first thing to look out for is the choice of words. You will notice that the speech sample you have in front of you has simple words. So you should avoid using big vocabulary else you will bore the audience.
Another thing to take into consideration is style. It’s a costly mistake to ‘steal’ the style of the material before your eyes.
You don’t have to do that. You should write in your own voice as it’s the only way the audience will enjoy your mother of the groom's speech ''like their favorite meals.''
Dramatic, funny, sentimental, and storytelling are styles you can pick from. But most moms prefer a combo: sentimental and funny. Whatever style you choose should be something you’re very comfortable with.
I was at a friend's wedding and I noticed this one thing about the M.C. He did well by coordinating the program brilliantly.
But when he began to say something about the couple, the guests had different things on their minds and were obviously not paying attention to him.
This guy had the right message but he forgot to survey his audience. Most people in the audience couldn’t speak English.
Thank God, he quickly realized that and he asked someone who understood the groom’s mother tongue to join him on stage, and that helped him turn around what would have otherwise being a very boring show.
He made the couple very proud at the end of the day and he even received lots of favorable compliments.
What a day it was!
Pick A Style That Suits You Best
The styles to choose from are usually sentimental, sarcastic, emotive, humorous, or a combination of two or more styles.
Next is the structure of the mother of the groom speech samples. It comes in three parts-introduction, body, and conclusion. Now, let’s see what each of these three sections constitutes.
The introduction is also known as the attention-getter. It is that part that arrests the attention of the audience.
Greetings, a short self –presentation (don’t take it for granted-not everyone may know who you are) as well as your relationship to the groom form part of the introduction.
The body is that part that gets the audience ‘’emotionally charged’’ because they are able to relate to what you are saying. Please include the following ideas in this essential part of your speech-the body.
Who are you and your relationship to the groom
How he was like when he was younger
How he related to his siblings and how that inspired him
The funny incidents you can remember about your son when he was growing up
How you felt when you first saw him with your daughter-in-law.
Share your personal reflection on marriage
Proverbs, scriptural quotations, wisecracks, wise quotes, and so on can help you make the body very interesting and it can help you write your toast too.
How To Put Your Thoughts Together In A Logical Order
Now, let's see how to string the ideas that come to you anytime you study a speech sample.
Take a paper and divide it into three sections. Label the first part-introduction. The second portion should be called the body and part number three should be titled the toast.
Let's see how to write the opening line of our message.(I hope you haven't forgotten the components of the introduction we talked about at the onset of this article.)
Good evening ladies and gentlemen, I am Eric's mom. The family is grateful that you have come to support our son and daughter. It is every mother's prayer and wish that her son marries a lady who is an industrious wife and a caring mother.
And am proud that my son has chosen a mature, dignified, and industrious lady who will undoubtedly become the most adorable wife and mother I have ever seen. She is not only beautiful but she possesses great strength which will help this royal couple weather the storms of life.
They might wonder why I have chosen to say they are royal even though they have no ''royal blood'' in them. It's because every man and woman is a wonder of God's creation and that makes them kings and queens of his handiwork.
Honestly, writing some like this is not difficult at all. You can if you study this example critically as it can inspire you to write yours.
You see, this attention-getter should be connected to the body of your speech; the tidbits I shared, in the beginning, can be used to develop the crux of your dialogue.
Let's see if we can continue from where we stopped by examining how the groom was like when he was a little kid.
As a child, Eric was as sweet as a pie and I remember when Roger, my husband and I chased that little boy all around our neighborhood till a neighbor came out looking stern like a lioness when she heard a loud bang on her door after my son had thrown a big stone...
Congrats Eric, your choice shows you are a true gentleman. I’d like to tell you something you might not know about women.
Every woman is like ivory. Very easy to break but very expensive. So, love, cherish your wife at all times.
Did you see how I did that?
The toast or pieces of advice is the last thing you have to say before you take your seat and below is an example:
Alex and Marcia, you are a beautiful couple. We all wish you a long, happy life together, and may God bless you both.
So I'd like to raise a glass to toast Alex and Marcia and their life together.
Cheers!
P.S- Did you know that the wedding guests will judge you by the kind of wedding speech you’ll give? You deserve a great speech.
And so you shouldn’t let him down with just any kind of ordinary speech.
You have to come up with something memorable. Do you have it takes to make that a reality so you get a standing ovation?
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

Ways to include humor in your speech and what it takes to do so
You are a great mom. You’ve been your son’s pillar of defense all these years and your son is so grateful. Aside from helping your son with any family traditions, you have to give a great mother of the groom speech.
It is the best ''parting gift'' you can ever give your son. What’s more, giving your speech shows how much your son means to you. It’s a wonderful platform for welcoming your daughter-in-law into your family too.
The words you choose for your speech have to come from deep within your heart to make your message heartfelt.
It shouldn’t be something fabricated. Many mothers find it so hard to give speeches in public because they think they don’t have what it takes. Besides, they hate being in the public eye.
These Easy-To-Use – Ideas Really Help
Granted, the tips you’ll discover on these pages will help you plan and deliver a memorable wedding speech.
First, you need to prepare your mind. A prepared mind is a victorious mind. Don’t heed those ringing voices which seem to say you can’t make it. Instead, form a positive mental image of your son and guests applauding you for your words.
This mental exercise will inspire confidence. You can only get what you want if you first dream about it.
Dedicate Time To Write
Secondly, you should choose the times and days that suit you best so you can write well.
With so many things to do to make your son’s big day a blast, the writing of your mother of groom speech may not readily come to mind. Getting a fixed time will help you overcome procrastination.
What’s more, it helps you to focus.
Aside from the hours you pick, a quiet place – it could be in the garden, or a room less frequented by others will ensure you are not distracted. Keep a note pad and a pen handy because neat ideas can occur to you when you least expect them.
How Do You Want The Guests To Feel?
Then you need to pick a theme/style for your speech. The styles to pick from should be unique to you. That’s what will engage your audience and your handsome son. Sentimental, witty, humor, narrative, or poetic are styles many moms select from.
To take the guesswork out of writing your mother of the groom speech, you should get some mother of the groom speech samples. They make your writing a breeze and have great ideas to help you write like a pro.
What You Should Write About Your Loving Son
Finally, you should list as many points as you can about your son. His behavior, traits or qualities, skills or abilities, achievements are key points to consider.
You should also say some words about your daughter-in-law and welcome her into your royal family.
For instance, you can tell the audience about the qualities that make her an ideal companion for your son, and anything that you deem fit.
Giving a memorable mother of the groom speech isn't something to be worried about. With a positive attitude and faith in yourself, you will give a speech that will stay with the guests for a long time.
An Example To Help You Write Without Trying So Hard
Here at standing ovation, we endeavor to show our readers examples of speeches other mothers of the grooms have written.
They were once nervous like you and we provide such examples to prove that you too can write a beautiful speech if you make up your mind to do so. I wish you well and hope it inspires you to write yours.
Here it goes. Study it critically and write down any ideas that swim in your mind
I'd like to begin by thanking you all, our friends and family, some new and some old, for all coming together to celebrate this union.
It's my pleasure to announce the bride and groom Sheila and Dan. What pride I feel to see my son and his wife glowing with joy and happiness. It's really a wonderful day for these love birds!
I am sorry my husband is not around. He is doing our country a great service on the war field in Pakistan and sends his best wishes to the couple and everyone here.
But he tells me to tell the couple that marriage is a lot like being on the battlefield. And so they need to be on the lookout for enemies who will try to end their marriage. The enemy might not be physical but a lust for things that brings no real joy and can put out the fire in this romantic marriage.
Notice how the speech began? The speaker could have introduced herself but she didn’t.
Why? Probably the M.C might have done that. It would have been nice if she had told everyone who she was once again. Never ever forget to do that when you grab the mic.
In many traditions, mother's don't speak at their son's wedding though that is gradually changing anyway.
But you can decide to ask your husband to do a joint speech if that's your wish or you may do it individually if you’ve got enough time.
In case your husband is not around, you have to rise to the occasion and explain why he couldn't make it.
They're a must-have if you want to come up with something that will blow everyone's mind.
Do you really want to make your son feel special on his wedding day? Then, please see the notes below about how a nervous mom in Canada gave the best wedding speech that got her a standing ovation despite having never given a speech her whole lifetime.
Her story will inspire you as it will show you how she did that and how you can do the same to get tons of compliments even if you are scared you might not impress the guests and make your son and family proud.
P.S: Giving a great wedding speech is certainly a way to tell the wedding guests and your family how much your son means to you.
And I guess you really love him with every fiber of your being.
What that means is that you have to come up with a great wedding speech? Wondering how?
Not too sure if you are on the right track?
Or not too sure if what you have in mind will make him proud and leave you with a feeling of great accomplishment? Everyone is counting on you.
Thanks to this, you can do that without lifting your finger!

Ways to include humor in your speech and what it takes to do so
