rob wild Posted September 22, 2006 Share Posted September 22, 2006 Basically you need to start by saying "Thanks for coming everybody from my wife and I" And does'nt she look loverly etc. Then you thank everybody starting with parents, then bridges maid, bestmen etc. Then give out any gifts etc or what ever and thats about it. I fill mine out with a few funny tails etc Hope that helps buddy Good luck matey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave F Posted September 22, 2006 Share Posted September 22, 2006 Went to a good wedding last week and the groom started off by thanking the vicar for telling him he can have 16 wives, four richer, four poorer, four better, four worse. Made me laugh but then I was very, very drunk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toyotatom Posted September 22, 2006 Share Posted September 22, 2006 Good luck and best wishes. Hope you both enjoy your day. If you do, then you wont have to worry about a pre-fabricated speach, what needs to be said will just flow straight from the heart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hobgoblin Posted September 22, 2006 Share Posted September 22, 2006 I finished writing my speech on the morning of my wedding. The great thing about wedding speeches is that nobody is going to get up and seriously question you, I sometimes have to speak in meetings at work, and spend most of the time dealing with hecklers. Compliments for the bride, and good hearted ridicule for the best man. Have a great day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharpie Posted September 22, 2006 Share Posted September 22, 2006 All the best for the BIG day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pixelfill Posted September 22, 2006 Share Posted September 22, 2006 I've been to a couple of weddings where the speeches are before the meal. This way everyone is keen to get to the meal, so will be listening (but not too intently) but most importantly you can then enjoy the meal without worrying about the speeches (i.e. you can enjoy the wine ) you could always thatnk the bride for agreeing to be your wife *AND* for turning up. oh and congratulations by the way.

vvteye Posted September 22, 2006 Share Posted September 22, 2006 Give all your mates a key before your speech. Towards the end of your speech just make an statement that now you are married if anyone has a key to her home (or chastity belt depending on the audience!) kindly bring it up to the top table. Better still , get them not to move then repeat it with a bit more threat. It's hilarious to see the rest of the reception looking amazed when they all come up. I was best man once and set up the bride by getting all the girls to come up and hand 'em in. (Gave me a great chance to chat to them ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
