Your Groom Speech – What You Should Mention
Thursday, April 1st, 2010Earlier I talked about people you should not forget. Now let us talk about things you should include into your groom wedding speech. As mentioned before this is all about you and your bride. Concentrate on that! Talk about memorable things. Tell them in your wedding speech what made you fall in love with her and later showed you that you want to spend the rest of your life with her. Let me give you a few examples of what you could use:
- The moment you met her for the first time.
- Little things about her you love so much.
- The day when you propose to her.
- Lessons you learned due to the relationship and directly by her. (opportunity to create funny groom speech moments!)
These are only a few examples of topics you can use. Let us talk about how to do it. First you can and should use jokes. Try to be funny! It is a day of joy and happiness, so there is no reason to bother the people with a 100% serious wedding speech. Build in jokes to create a real great and funny groom wedding speech. But do NOT overdo it! And even more important choose jokes wisely. You do not want to embarrass or offend anyone especially not your bride.
Interact with your bride and the audience while giving the wedding speech. Switch between them. Address them directly. It is not a good thing to give your beloved one the feeling she would not be in the same room while you are talking about her. You would regret it later. Look her into the eyes. Hold her hand in the right moment. There are many ways to interact with people while giving your groom speech, for example when you talk about the day you met her the first time, you could start by describing the situation looking and addressing the audience. When you reach the point of your first encounter in your wedding speech turn to your bride and talk directly to her. Describe what you felt when you saw her and heard her voice. Turn back to the audience again getting to the point that you knew that she was the right one.
If you construct your groom wedding speech that way it will feel more like an active conversation to the people instead of just passive listening from their end. That way they will enjoy it more and remember it longer. But always keep one thing in mind: Be genuine! Do not use words or phrases you would not use normally.
