Wedding Speeches Explained- For the Father of the Bride or Groom

By Denetor Ectellion


One of the best parts of any wedding ceremony is the wedding speech. During the
reception after meals are served and everyone is relaxed and enjoying
themselves certain family members and friends will be asked to stand up and
speak about the bride/groom. The father will always deliver the most formal and
emotional of all the speeches.

There are fathers who do not like giving wedding speeches, so it better if they
are to be told that a father wedding speech does not have to be lengthy or too
formal. That way they can be urged to go up the stage and speak. Once there,
usually there is no stopping them though.

Father of the Groom
The groom's father usually gives a shorter speech than the bride's. He sometimes
just talks about how well he knows his son and how he knows he will be responsible
enough to be in a married life. He will be undoubtedly proud especially if he
likes his new daughter-in-law and her family. Father of the Bride
Typically, it is the father of the bride that pays for the wedding, so it is
only proper that he delivers the first and the lengthiest speech.

The father of the bride will deliver a longer wedding speech and as such you
will be the first to speak. As the most important person besides the bride and
groom, you will want to deliver something more formal such as welcoming all
those who could come and thanking them for witnessing such a beautiful ceremony
and most importantly to formally welcome the groom into the family.

There are four basic points that should be covered when giving a wedding
speech. You must be sure to welcome everybody especially both families. This
part should be formally delivered because you are extending your gratification
to everyone for witnessing their son/daughter's wedding.

Next, the father of the wedding should say a little something about their
son/daughter. You can get really creative and funny during this part of the
speech because you can talk about all the naughty things they did as a child.
From there you might find your self getting a bit emotional especially when you
announce how sad you are to give up your little one to marriage but how proud
you are to give up your child to the person they have chosen.

Add a little humor to your speech and add little tidbits of silly things your
son/daughter have done as children, you could also add in their accomplishments
and disappointments of growing up. You may get emotional when you formally let
your child go to enter matrimony with the partner of their choice.

There are a lot of people who do not like delivering speeches so if you are one
of those types of people it may be important for you to keep it short and
sweet. Make sure you cover all the points above and no matter how long your
father wedding speech is it will be a wonderful one.

By Jule C Thacks I usually travel on my bike in the city. I choose this over buses and trains because I take shortcuts to go downtown. My only concern is that bikes are some of the most stolen items reported. Mine was almost taken from me a year ago. I was on my way home from St. Patrick's Church. As I turned left in the corner of 22nd and Mission streets, a tall and buff guy tried to block my way. He flashed his gun inside his jacket and asked me my bike.
