Wedding Speech From Bride – my 8 Tips

October 24th, 2009 Stephanie No comments

1) Wedding Speeches From The Bride And Groom?
Me and my husband-to-be, are both not confident about speaking in front of a large amount of people. We are thinking about doing a joint speech, how would you feel if you were at a wedding at the bride and groom both stood up and picthed a speech?

Also, any ideas where you can read old speeches for a bit of a template.

its gr8 i mean if you both give a joint speech it will show ur love and how comfortable u people r together…………..and the firstb thing u do after marraige together then it shows that u people always do everything together and agree to similar ideas….less quarreling……
go ahead>>>>>>>>

2) Pre-did Speeches To MOTHER OF THE BRIDE FROM WEDDING GUEST?
im attending a wedding and was asked to say a speech TO th emother of the bride. i need some good websites with already done speches or somthing

This last site will write the speech for you.

As most speeches are to the bride and groom, I am not finding pre-written speeches to a mother. I suggest you incorporate parts of speeches from the first sites, then add your own thoughts to mother-of-bride.

If unable to write this yourself, then you can pay to have a speech written for you. And yes, one can google those sites also.

And it is not so hard to say:
“I have been asked by bride and groom to thank MOB for all the love and support she has given to them.”

4) Can Someone Help Me With The Mother Of The Bride Speech For My Daughter’s Wedding Reception?
It not only is going to be a stressful day for me on my daughter’s wedding day because I am divorced from my daughter’s father and I have not seen or talked to him for many years but my father is very ill and my parents cannot travel therefore they will not be attending the wedding. I need help with writing the speech for the reception and wanted to incorporate my parents not being there on the day to see their first grandchild get married.

ok – maybe this will get your own thought process working! lol
its the speech my dad gave at our wedding

i know that as our guests look at the happy couple they see a young woman and her husband but what i see is a little different.
i see a little girl sitting on her bed waiting for her bedtime story, i see a fresh-scrubbed face laughing at the wind blowing dandelions every which way in the garden. i see a litte girl holding on to my hand for dear life as we send her off to school for the very first time. i see a teary-eyed face looking up at me and asking if her kitten really will go to heaven. i see a teenager waiting on the front porch for her girlfriends to arrive for a sleepover for her 13th birthday. i’ll always see the pride in her face as she graduated and then again as she found her dream job! but for all the happiness i have seen in her face over the years it is nothing compared to the happiness i see shining in her eyes today.
as i stand here i see a younger version of my beautiful wife and i see a young couple much like we were forty-five years ago as we started out on our journey together.
even though the grandparents are no longer with us they are watching and smiling through tears of joy for they know as well as we do that these two youngsters belong together.
my wish for our beautiful daughter and her husband is health and happiness. patience and love. wisdom in dealing with whatever life throws at them and the ability to laugh when they think they can’t possibly laugh anymore.
our family has truly been blessed in life, may that blessing continue on with the two of you!
===================================
as for your parents not being there perhaps you could say something along the line of
even though julie’s grandparents were not able to attend they are with us in spirit. they are looking forward to seeing the video of the wedding and reception and in that small way they will enjoy their first grand-daughter’s wedding day!
julie your grand-parents love you very much and they know that if this young man has captured your heart then he must be a very special young man indeed.
========
i hope this helps – i know its a stressful time for you but i wish you luck! happy wedding!

5) Wedding Toast/speech Help? From Sister Of The Groom?
I need to prepare a special occasion speech for a public speaking class. 3-5 minutes long. I am doing a toast for my brother’s wedding. It’s only 1 minute so far…

Good evening everyone. It is with great joy that I say congratulations to my brother Craig and his beautiful new bride, Tiffany. They say there is someone out there for everyone, and I think that Craig has definitely found his other half with Tiff.
From the first time I met Tiffany, I knew she was someone special to my brother. As I got to know Tiff more she became someone who is special to me as well. Tiffany, you’re everything I could ever want for my brother and I am pleased to welcome you to our family. Over the last few years we have already become like sisters, as of today it’s official.
Craig, I am so happy for you. You are going to be a great husband. Ronald Reagan said, “There is no greater happiness for a man than approaching a door at the end of a day, knowing someone on the other side of that door is waiting for the sound of his footsteps.” When I see the happiness that radiates from you when you are with Tiffany and when you see her smile, I know that you agree with Reagan.
I wish you both the greatest happiness throughout your lives. May the best of your yesterdays
be the worst of your tomorrows. Let’s all raise our glasses in honor of the bride and groom!

Sounds good except for the VERY beginning. “It is with great joy that I say congratulations” came off sounding like a reverse eulogy to me. Maybe you could say, I am honored and elated to be standing here to honor two of the most special people in my life, my brother Craig and his beautiful new bride, Tiffany.

Kudos on killing two birds with one stone by using your toast as your speech topic for your class! :)
Good luck!

6) What Is The Worst Wedding Speech That You Have Heard Of?
Or maybe not the worst but the most unforgettable that you’ve been to. Either from bride, groom, best man, or maid of honor.

My father was the best man for my brother. During his speech, he said that my brother picked up his new wife “on the corner like all the others” and kept her because “she did a good job with him”. It was SO embarassing for everyone, my brother and his wife were motified and my dad didn’t think he did anything wrong. Comparing the new bride to a hooker, nothing wrong with that, right?! That was pretty bad…

Good luck!

7) Wedding Speech For A Bride!?
ok I was married previously and after 5 yrs I left and got divorced.

I was shocked at the amount of prejudice there still is in this day and age about divorce and had quite a hard time with some friends and family voicing opinions…plus had quite a hard time from ex husband who just wouldnt let go and things turned nasty and lawyers wer involved.

Anyway I haved moved on now engaged to great guy and have a 2 yr old boy who i adore and i am getting married again…a small and intimate affair.

I want to say something kinda saying about my past and even tho i was divorced once marriage i still take marriage seriously but just dont know how to put it into words any ideas?

That’s a tough one! I wouldn’t bring it up. Maybe you could 2say something like “I’m looking forward to creating a happy family with my son and wonderful new husband. Here’s to many joyous years together.” i think that very subtly says that this is something you are taking seriously. I think you’re right. There is too much prejudice against 2nd marriages. It’s always a happy occasion when two people find love – no matter what happened in the past.

8) Is This Appropriate In A Wedding Speech?
My sister is getting married soon and I’ll(brother) be delivering one of the speeches.. Anway, I wanted to say somewhere in the speech, “…the bridesmaids are looking very nice, but not as beautiful as the bride is tonight” Something like that. Does this sound weird coming from her brother? Let me know what you think.

No, it’s not weird. It’s so sweet coming from a younger or older brother. I think it’s cute of you to compliment her. =) You could say that “the bridesmaids look beautiful, but the most beautiful person tonight is the [insert adjective -- blushing, happy, etc.] bride.” (I think that’s phrased better and less likely to hurt the bridesmaids’ feelings.)
