Bridegroom Speeches-The Groom's Speech is the Easiest!

This blog is to help you create the best bridegroom speeches. And guess what, the grooms speech is the easiest out of the 3 main speeches. Here are some great tips for the grooms speech, but first please GET THIS, it will make you shine at your wedding, and everyone will remeber you for it.

 

Out of all the speeches that have to be given at a wedding, your not going to believe this but it's true: The grooms speech is the easiest. You are probably asking yourself how is this possible, or WHY??? It's simply because of the fact that many grooms get away with a list of thank yous and a few comments about how beautiful the bride looks. And how happy he is with getting married to his new beautiful wife blah blah blah!!! Okay so for starters that’s not too bad, but aim higher if you can.  Consider building your speech around the following structure:

• Thank your new father-in-law for his speech.
   
• Tell the story of how you first met your wife.  What attracted you to her? How did the first date go?  It’s normally pretty easy to get a laugh in here somewhere.  If that’s not going to work, then how about the story of how you proposed?
   
• Thank your in-laws for welcoming you into their family.  Think of a couple of positive things to say about them.  It only needs to be a sentence or two. Remember too that you are speaking on behalf of your wife.  Thank them for bringing her up to be the fantastic woman you are marrying today.
   
• If your wife has brothers or sisters, mention them too, and thank them.   
   
• Thank your own parents for bringing you up.  If they were good parents, then think about why they were good parents, and try to explain it in a couple of sentences.  You are not aiming to nauseate the audience with sentimental rubbish, but you are aiming to make your mother cry (in a nice way).  Give it some thought.
   
• Add in any other special thank-yous needed (for example, the ushers).   It’s impossible to thank each and every person who helps with a wedding in the groom’s speech, so don’t try.  Your audience will get bored.  But do pick out the important ones.
   
• Talk about your wife.  You really need to think about this.  Why are you marrying her?  What do you love about her?  Try to sum it up in three or four sentences.  Avoid sentimental drivel that sounds like the inside of a Valentine’s Day card - anyone can write that.  But talk from the heart.  The aim here is to make your wife cry (in a nice way).
   
• Thank the bridesmaids, comment on how great they’re looking, and then propose a toast to them.  Toasting the bridesmaids is an expected part of the groom’s speech, so don’t forget.  

• Thank your best man, say what a great guy he is, and hand over to the best man.  This is another place where you can get an easy laugh. For example: “X is a great guy, but the only slight drawback is that he does live in a bit of a parallel universe which causes him to invent fanciful stories.  He really does believe these stories to be true and I thank you for humouring him during his speech”.  Then sit down to rapturous applause and keep your fingers crossed that your best man goes easy on you!
• If you stick to this format then by the end of your speech you’ll have made them laugh, you’ll have made them cry, and you’ll be finished inside about eight minutes, which is about right for a groom’s speech.
