Ideas For Making Your Wedding Speech Remarkably Good.
You will probably be asked to deliver a wedding speech if you’re the father of the bride, the maid of honor, the best man or just a great friend of the bride or groom. Should your speech be funny? Should it be heartfelt? Can you give a speech without passing out?You can do all of the above, with a few helpful pointers of course.
First things first, if you have been drinking heavily avoid delivering a wedding speech. If you suffer from stage fright request the bride and groom to excuse you from making a speech, most would happily oblige.
Nobody wants a rambling drunken speaker at their wedding. Also, do not talk about old boyfriends or girlfriends the couple may have had, embarrassing mistakes they may have made or past marriages. Keep the wedding pleasant and don’t try to make a speech if you were not invited to make one, respect the couple’s decision,
A great way to make a memorable wedding speech is try and recall the first time you met them both, either as a couple or separately. Comments like ‘ we all thought that it would never last, but you did it!’, are NOT a compliment, only touch on the good points of their relationship, and on the ways they compliment each other.
If there is a funny event or memory you have of both of them, share it, everyone loves a good laugh as long as it is not something embarrassing or hurtful. You can compliment the bride, appreciate the music, food, decoration etc and speak about other positive things if you are asked to make an impromptu speech and can’t think of anything. It’s that simple.
at the end of the day wedding speeches aren’t as scary or as difficult as they may seem. Practice your speech with friends and family, it is always a good idea to plan ahead if you can. If you don’t have time to plan ahead, just make sure you leave a positive impression with the wedding party.
