Once you are knee deep into the wedding planning process, you will learn that there are basically three kinds of traditional wedding speaches:  the grooms speach, the father of the bride speach, and the best mans speach.  Now this is just a guideline, but almost all weddings have at least these three speaches.

What’s In The Grooms Speach?

This speach generally includes a host of “thank you’s” to all of those who made the celebration possible and memorable.  This is the ideal time to thank the parents (father and mother of the groom) for all the love and care they provided as you grew up and through the wedding day.  Of course, feel free to add any memorable moments and special acts of kindness.

I found that grooms speaches can be difficult to write and I appreciated all the assistance I could find.  Once I found some wedding speach examples, it became a lot clearer for me how to structure my speach and what I wanted to say.  So, don’t hesitate to use the advice provided on this blog and any other wedding speach resources you can find.

The Other Two Wedding Speaches

Besides the grooms speach, there should be a father of the bride wedding speach.  This one is generally the most emotional speech and can be the most touching one.  This is where the bride’s father will be endorsing his daughter to her new husband.  Assuming that the relationship between the groom and the father of the bride is good, this speach can really steal the show.

The last wedding speach is the best man’s speach.  This is where things can get a little crazy, at least it did at our wedding.  This speach can be the most enlightening one of them all because it involves the lighter side of the reception.  Generally, the best man will expose stories about the groom and his crazy antics and can sometimes be a little embarrassing for the groom.  At our wedding, the best man disclosed a long forgotten “road trip” which had gone awry with excruciating detail targeted at me, but it was all in fun!

Of all these wedding speaches given throughout the day, it is the audience that should be considered foremost when making the grooms speach.  Once you learn this important factor, then it becomes so much clearer which things should be said and which should be left out of your speach.
