Bride Speech Tips

Good luck!

When you were born, I cried tears of joy. Then you started walking and talking, and I cried, thinking that you were no longer going to need me. Your first day of kindergarden, I cried becasue I had to share your smile with others. Then you graduate high school then college, and I cried because I was proud of you. Now tonight when I get home from your wedding and reception, I’m going to cry, because I know that you are no longer my baby girl, but because you are a woman I’m proud to call my daughter.

Good luck!

To the above statement I’d just like to remind everyone that MOMS have an awful lot to do with it too!

Fathers aren’t required to give a toast, and if they do it’s usually a short one. As long as its from the heart it doesn’t really matter, but try to avoid the clich’e “seems like only yesterday she was getting on the bus for her first day of school” or something along those lines. My father will of course not listen and bore everyone with his talking and pointless stories, so like I said, keep it simple.

If daughter and father are close, a simple story or joke (NO DATING TIL AFTER YOU’RE MARRIED) may be OK to show this, but as long as you wish her happiness and love forever, and try not to publicly threaten the groom TOO MUCH you should be fine. Feel free to remind him that half of this room is filled with her family and friends and not a single one would hesitate to come to her rescue if she ever needed it, but don’t get too graphic about what happens if he hurts your little girl…save that for private time after the wedding!

Good luck, and congratulations on the new son!

Good luck!

Her father walking her down the isle ? HER Decision.
Please attempt to restrain yourself from bad-mouthing her dad.
Regardless of all she has shared about her dad, in confidence, it is HER one and only Dad.
Embarrassing her dad would be the easiest way to ruin the event for all the attendees.
She did not share this with you to throw it all back in her face on Her Special Day.
It’s the Bride’s day — let it be a good one for her.
She wants the day to be a beautiful and memorable.
This IS NOT the day you want to sear in her mind, a bad experience.

That said, have a Great Wedding — and keep your feet out of the fire.

btw: I’m assuming you are the groom. If not, then you are very far out of your league here. You should have NO involvement in this matter at this time.

Good luck!
