A marriage ceremony whereby a couple is joined together is an occasion carried out by many communities throughout the world. During such a ceremony several people are required to make keynote addresses to those in attendance. The list of those delivering the speech varies from place to place but the most common ones are the in-laws, best man, maid of honor, and sometimes one of the invited guests. When writing and delivering a sample wedding speech it is necessary to consider the points given below.An introduction is very important. The audience has to know your relationship to the couple. Remember to mention something about them, how they met, their dating experiences, wedding preparations, and other important occurrences in their life. Express gratitude and congratulate the couple. Do not forget to tell a joke that will prevent the audience from getting bored with your speech. Below is an example of a general wedding speech.
With the right order and protocol followed, let me take this opportunity to say a few words on this important occasion. I am grateful for being invited to this wedding. I am a close friend of the groom and our friendship started several years back. I have also known the bride since she started dating Dan. Josephine is such a wonderful lady. However, let me avoid talking about that and let Dan tell us since he is the one who has experienced it first hand. This is a culmination of a long love story dating back many years ago. The newlyweds met in grade one and since then a love story has blossomed between them.
It is said that the way to a man's heart is through the stomach. I also believe that a woman needs a man who can cook a good meal when she is tired and cannot do it herself. I do not want to say the kind of injustice Dan does to meals when cooking. I urge Josephine to be patient with him and teach him how to whip up a delicious meal.
Life is going to be challenging now that you will be living together. Do not expect to have your way always. It is necessary to make decisions together. Let go of your pride and be ready to listen to your spouse all the time. That is my little advice about marriage.
Lastly, let me congratulate them. Let us toast to their happy union. I beg to take my seat now. Thank you guys.
This sample wedding speech can be adopted by all people. However, few changes need to be made depending on the relation of the couple to the one speaking.
