Wedding Speech One - Successful Speech Making

Overcoming Your Nerves To Speak At A Wedding Reception



Wedding Speech One

This is the speech I gave when my youngest daughter, Leanne got married

I am sure you could modify this one with your own daughter's and son-in-law's names plus any relevant jokes that fit their situation.

This takes about 3 minutes or so when you're sober, but add one minute for every glass of one you've consumed beforehand giving your weeding speech.

Wedding Speech One Starts:

Good afternoon, for those who don't know me I am Peter, Leanne's Dad.

As Father of the Bride, it is an honour and my pleasure to be first to speak today.

On behalf of myself and my wife Sue as well as June & Brian, Matt's parents I would like to welcome all the relatives and friends of both families, to this very happy occasion celebrating the marriage of Leanne & Matt.

I spent hours preparing a long speech for you today because I knew that's what you would be looking forward to, but I'm only going to speak for a couple of minutes because of my throat... If I go on too long Sue has threatened to cut it.

It seems only five minutes ago, this little girl was toddling around our first home chattering away non-stop. You couldn't shut her up and some things never change... Where has the time gone? Mind you it's nearly two years since they both set up home together and we've only just rediscovered the "Lost Bathroom"

We are really proud today, to see Leanne looking so beautiful & married to Matt. During the time we've known him, we've really come to like him and realize how special he is to her; and anyone can see that they're made for each other! Matt you've always been welcome in our house, but it's now too late for refunds or returns. With or without a receipt.

We are also very proud that Matt's parents feel the same about Leanne. They've clearly taken her to their hearts, and I believe that she is now their daughter, in fact as well as in law!

Apparently it's traditional for the bride's father to offer some worldly thoughts and advice about marriage. I've learned a few things about it during the last 32 years our anniversary is later this month, so perhaps I'm at least part-qualified...

A marriage certificate is like a lottery ticket. You pin all your hopes and dreams on it, but you don't really know how it'll turn out. I hit the jackpot with mine and I'm sure you two are both winners.

To Leanne, the definition of a perfect wife is one who helps her husband with the dishes....

And to Matt, remember, man is unfinished until he finds a wife - then he's completely finished!

    To both of you:

  • I wish you fun and excitement for today.
  • Hopes and dreams for tomorrow.
  • and love and happiness forever.

Finally before I ask you all to join me in a toast and this couple fly off for their honeymoon, I should just remind Matt that the honeymoon is the period between "I do" and "you will"

Ladies and gentlemen please stand, raise your glasses and drink a toast with me to the health and happiness of our bride & groom Leanne & Matt

Ladies and gentlemen, I would now like to hand you over, to my son in law, Matt who is dying to say a few words - as few as possible I think.

Wedding Speech One ends.
