Looking for the perfect wedding anniversary speech example for your parent’s 50th (golden) wedding anniversary or any other kind of marriage celebration speech?
Then, you have got to see this if you are really serious about writing and giving a memorable marriage anniversary speech as simply and quickly as possible!
Let me ask you, do you remember the best gift your mom and dad ever gave you?
Do you still have those gifts? I assume most of those gifts have outlived their usefulness.
Guess what? The best gifts come from the heart.
Love is the best gift anyone can ever give you and it’s the best present your parents ever gave you since you were born
True love touches our lives and makes it more beautiful than we can ever imagine.
What this means is that your parent's unconditional love has made you who you are.
So, when you are asked to give a wedding anniversary speech, you should consider it a great honor and rare privilege to not only tell your friends and family how much you love your parents but also how much they have impacted your life.
Remember, they have gone through a whole lot for you to get this far….
Just consider their priceless sacrifices and devotion and it will be an embarrassing moment for you if you fail to impress them with your words!
By the way, I am proud of your parents and let me congratulate them on the occasion of their anniversary celebrations.
Do You Want To Give Your Parents This Gift Of A Lifetime?
As you are well aware, writing an awesome speech isn’t an easy thing as experienced wedding speech writers like yours truly occasionally find it so hard to come up with a heartfelt speech.
I believe you don’t have to struggle to come up with heart-touching words as most people do.
Which is why, right now, I want to share with you how to put down your exact emotions and thoughts into something beautiful!
Before we begin, I just want you to know that although we are going to look at an example of a 50th wedding anniversary speech, the lessons you will take away will help you to write your parents 20th, 25th, 30th, 35th, 40th, 60th, 70th, 80th …wedding anniversary speech.
So, please grab your note pad and a pen and come with me as we learn a thing or two from Rosalind’s golden wedding anniversary speech for her loving parents.
Do This If You Really Want Your Parents, Family, and Friends To Compliment You!
First, let us look at her opening remarks or introduction. Please look over this carefully.
Here you go:
'' They say that you don't really appreciate your parents until you become one, but that is not true
While I admit I probably never truly appreciated your cleaning up after me when I vomited all over myself, my bedsheets, my stuffed animals, and the rug, until I had to do this for my own sons (parenting has significantly elevated my threshold for "gross"), there is much more to say.
On this very special occasion of your 50th anniversary, I would like to share some ways that I have greatly appreciated both of you, and especially your staying married for half a century.''
In most of my writings, I liken the opening remarks of a great speech to watching a blockbuster movie whose opening scene draws you in.
To leave a favorable impression on your listeners, your opening lines should make the wedding guests want to listen to your story till the very end.
Unfortunately, many speakers don’t start on a brighter note. It’s so sad when people grab the mic and the next thing you hear is: ''I feel rather nervous to stand in front all of you…''
Why would you say that when you have a few minutes to make your parents proud?
In the example above, Rosalind did a great job with her opening lines: ‘’ They say that you don't really appreciate your parents until you become one, but that is not true.’’
The good news is you too can do the same even if you are not good at speaking in public yet you make to make the right impact.
How?
By drawing inspiration from any of these ideas I will share today, even though there are a lot more tips I revealed in this write-up.
Below are 5 Ways To Start Your Intro…What’s Your Pick?
There are more than a dozen ways to begin your speech and I want to share with you just five of them!
I will also show you how you can use one of those ideas to write what’s on your mind easily.
Let’s dive right in!
- You can simply start on a humorous note. But make sure you know how to do that so things don’t backfire.
You may go for:
- Funny memories or anecdotes you remember when you were under their roof or anything they did or said that you find so amusing.
- Jokes or one-liners can help. Below are some quotes you can
Here are a couple you can use:
-''By all means, marry. If you get a good wife, you’ll become happy. If you get a bad one, you’ll become a philosopher.'' - Socrates
- "I love being married. It's so great to find one special person you want to annoy for the rest of your life"-Rita Rudner
- "Love is a lot like a backache; It doesn't show up on X-Rays, But you know it's there."-George Burns
"A good marriage would be between a blind wife and a deaf husband."-Michel De Montaigne
''My most brilliant achievement was my ability to be able to persuade my wife to marry me.''- Winston Churchill
That’s not all, you can also use love or marriage quotes.
Here are some of them
-''Some relationships are like Tom and Jerry, they argue and disagree all the time, but they still can't live without each other.'' -Unknown
-''Some people walk into our lives and leave footprints on our hearts. Others walk into our lives and we want to leave footprints on their face!'' -Auliq Ice
-"Being a good husband is like being a stand-up comic. You need 10 years before you can call yourself a beginner." — Jerry Seinfeld
I promised to show you how to write something short and sweet, so let’s see how using some of those quotes:
Some relationships are like Tom and Jerry, they argue and disagree all the time, but they still can't live without each other---Unknown
And
My most brilliant achievement was my ability to be able to persuade my wife to marry me-- Winston Churchill… to come up with something witty and fun!
This is what I have for you.
Here’s A Funny Wedding Anniversary Speech Just For Your Parents
Dad once told me that it took him almost 6 months before mom agreed to be his wife.
Well, when he said that I thought he was only joking
I got to understand him better when I went through a similar ordeal!
Guess what? I had to chase Michelle for almost 4 months before she gave her approval as she wasn’t so sure if I was the right guy for her.
Looking back, I think dad’s most brilliant achievement was his ability to persuade my mom to marry him and I think his sense of perseverance is the best legacy he bequeathed to me because it helped me get the love of my life.
Though they have impacted my life so much, there’s this thing I also learned from them while growing up. You see, mom‘s like Tom and dads like Jerry. They often argued and disagreed all the time with mom being the victor.
I only knew why dad allowed mom to have her way when he sat me down to advise me before I got married and I remember dad telling me that Mike, if you want to bring peace to your home, then you have to pretend to be deaf and mute.
If not, then pray you get married to a blind wife. Looking back, dad’s decision to become a deaf and mute husband really helped him. He didn’t sweat the small stuff and that was what made their marriage work...!
I hope you noticed how we use both quotes to write those underlined words and the entire example?
Can you do that too? I am sure you can.
Sorry, but I forgot to tell you this: your name and your relationship to the couple (son or daughter) and greetings, and ''thank yous'' should form part of your intro.
- You can jump straight into the ‘’ring’’ and tell everyone what you think has kept your parents going for 50 years in marriage.
- You can even start with a quote about the secrets of successful marriages and work something out from that angle.
Right now, I want us to continue with our wedding or marriage anniversary speech sample as we have a lot to learn from it.
Please read the rest of Rosalind’s speech very carefully: '' While most children appreciate their parents for giving them biological life, I don't know to whom I owe that.
And while everything for which I am grateful is ultimately conditional upon the decision a teenage woman made,
I was an "accident", "unplanned", and my gratitude is that she believed that somewhere out there was somebody like you, with whom I would be so much better off.
The fact is you are the kind of couple whom so many love, the kind who inspires others with your friendly welcome, generosity, and kindness to all.''
Your regular acts of goodness change the mood of those around you: they turn road-raged insensitive maniacs into the kind of drivers who not only let you merge in front of them without ramming you in the rear but who stopped on the road to give you a helping hand and a smile when in need.
You are a couple who has a positive impact on the world, and this impact has the power to counter the despair of a young woman in trouble, helping her know that it is worth choosing life for her little one, because of incredibly loving parents like you.''
Please go back and read it again. I hope you have done just that. Did you notice how the ideas flow in a logical order?
That’s the pattern the body of your speech should follow as it’s the extension of the opening lines of our golden anniversary wedding speech sample.
I know you might be wondering how you are going to compose the body of your speech just as this great writer has done.
You don’t have to worry about that because…
Here Are 12 Pointers To Help You Come Up With Great Ideas For Your Body Without Pulling Out Your Hair!
First, get a pen and paper and ask yourself these questions:
- How was life with mom and dad growing up?
- What were their dreams for you?
- What have they been through? Share the good times and bad as that will not only touch hearts but inspire the guests!
- You can simply express thanks to your parents and say why you love them.
- You can also comment about their contributions to the welfare of family and friends.
- You can talk about how their shared interests and goals have brought them thus far.
- You can even tell the wedding guests how they helped you walk on troubled waters when you faced difficulties in your own marriage just as our example taught us.
- You can talk about the qualities your own dad brought into the relationship, that of your mom as well, and how the couple blended so well despite their seeming differences.
- You can share funny tales or memories to get everyone laughing and then write about the lessons learned.
- How do your parents inspire you?
Do you see how Rosalind does that here:
''Mom and Dad, your honesty, integrity, love, patience, gentleness, kindness, commitment, and willingness to forgive shine as a strong inspiration to me to strive for the same in my marriage.
You have been blessed with the fortitude and faith to stay together, despite a multitude of forces that aim to pull a couple apart. The example of your marriage reveals something much greater than any individual can ever attain….''
Just write down your answers to all of these questions. First, put down the highlights and then paragraphs to support each point raised.
Do This Next And Everything Will Fall Into Its Rightful Place
Just write down your thoughts without worrying about the flow since you can always go back to edit it over and over again.
You Can Get Heartwarming Compliments And Your Parents Will Be So Proud Of You If You Follow This Simple Plan
A perfect closing might make good use of the following ideas
- Thanking your parents or their love over the years and how that has made you a much better person.
Just listen to what Rosalind said: An example being: '' On this very special occasion of your 50th wedding anniversary, with a heart of deepest gratitude,
I give you my honor, appreciation, admiration, and love. May God continue to bless your marriage, and may you enjoy your celebration on April 16, and throughout this Golden Year. I love you Rosalind ''
- You can say what your best wishes are for them as seen below:
-All things grow with love, and nothing more so than your beautiful relationship. Love you, Mom and Dad.
-You make this whole marriage thing look easy. May you continue to grow in your love for each other. Happy Anniversary from all of your children.
-With every passing year, you’re the living embodiment of a great marriage, mother, and father. Happy Anniversary from your son or daughter!
-Your love, dedication, and commitment to one another is truly an inspiration to all of us kids.
-You are the parents that all kids hope to have, you are the couple that all lovers hope to be and you both are the pillars of support that every family wishes it had. Happy anniversary to the best parents ever.
-Your togetherness in good and bad times has taught us teamwork. Your tolerance for each other’s habits has taught us patience. Your support during each other’s crises has taught us solidarity. Your lives as our parents have taught us how to live. Happy anniversary
-Dear mom and dad, thanks for all the patience and sacrifice in keeping the family together. I am the luckiest not to experience the pain of a divorced family because you have both worked so hard to keep the marriage.
-Our family owes its happiness to the strong bond you both share. Happy anniversary!
-Because of you both, the world knows that truth and love exist. Keep these beliefs alive and cherish one another. Happy anniversary, mom and dad!
-Mom and dad, I could not have asked for better parents growing up. And I could not have asked for a better model of a healthy marriage than you two. Thank you for providing that for me. I wish you two a happy anniversary!
- You can end with a blessing from the scriptures. My favorite is Psalm 128
Psalm 128
A song of ascents.
- 1 Blessed are all who fear the Lord,
who walk in obedience to him.
2 You will eat the fruit of your labor;
blessings and prosperity will be yours.
3 Your wife will be like a fruitful vine
within your house;
your children will be like olive shoots
around your table.
4 Yes, this will be the blessing
for the man who fears the Lord.
- 5 May the Lord bless you from Zion;
may you see the prosperity of Jerusalem
all the days of your life.
6 May you live to see your children’s children—
peace be on Israel.
Lamentations 3:22–23
The steadfast love of the LORD never ceases;
His mercies never come to an end;
They are new every morning;
Great is your faithfulness.
Philippians 4:6
Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God.
I love examples and here once again is a short speech based on the bible verses above:
Mom and dad, you have taught us that the greatest gift to give each other is love. It looks like you have come to the end of the road as you have being together for close to 50 years, but it feels like you have just started your journey. I know there are still many rivers to cross and what looks like mountains to climb.
But, God has promised to see you through all trials and afflictions as his steadfast love never cease and they are new every morning. This is the start of your '' morning'' as the dawn is come and gone. I hope and pray that your love grows deeper everyday.
Don’t you think this message can be used for your closing remarks
- Compliment them sincerely and wish them well in the years ahead.
- You can close your eyes and say a prayer for your parent
An example: Oh Lord, give my parents the heart to still love and serve you, so their love for each other grows beyond time.
Let them become like a shining city set on a hill and may nothing that seeks to threaten their peace, joy, or sense of purpose succeed today, tomorrow and forever in Jesus' name!
I hope you have a fair idea of how to use this speech sample to write yours.
It will be a great idea to read this piece once again and put down on paper, ideas and insights, you think you can use to write your own speech for your mom and dad as you review it over and over again!
P.S : This message is only for those who really love their parents…don't read it if you don’t.
You don’t have to ignore this message If You Are Really Serious About Making Your Parents Proud With A Unique, Heartfelt, And Beautiful Speech Without Writing A Single Word. How?
Just imagine this: You’re called up to the stage and handed the microphone.
Then, the atmosphere becomes dead silent that you could hear the drop of a pin.
Your parents’ hearts miss lots of beats and they begin to wonder if you are going to make them proud and not embarrass yourself! They are still not too sure if you can make them proud.
So, they look at you and smile, telling you in effect that they are expecting nothing but the very best from you.
You see, you can’t settle for anything as your parents have given you their all, and you shouldn’t screw up!
Believe it or not, most speeches you hear deliver at wedding anniversary parties fall below the mark and the wedding guests not wanting to offend you, may give you a rather weak handclap.
Some(A few) might even tell you your speech wasn't good and I guess you just don't want to hear anything negative.
Take this from me; whatever you reap you are going to sow.
So, if your speech is not unique and touching enough, then you can be sure when your own children have to give a speech at your anniversary someday, they might not make you proud too!
That’s true because you can’t overturn the laws of nature.
