Wedding Speech Anecdotes
Best man at father’s wedding, what to say?
All right, my dad is getting married on December 28th and I’m supposed to be the best man at his wedding. That’s fine with me, in fact I’m honored that he asked, but I’m not really sure what to say when I have to make a speech at the reception.
If I were doing this for a friend I wouldn’t have any trouble coming up with things to say, but for my father it is a different situation. Its not like I can tell anecdotes of crazy times from our college days or anything like that.
Also, my father is a widower. Would it be inappropriate to mention my mother in the speech? His fiance is a widow, so she understands the importance of a dead spouse, so jealousy or something like that wouldn’t be an issue. Still, would it be too much of a downer? Not that I would mention her dieing, but more like that I know she’d be happy that he had found someone else to share his life with, or something along those lines.
Thanks
You are a wonderful son. Your dad is a widower so you don’t have to worry about hurting your mom’s feelings as if they were divorced. It would be so nice if you would stand and tell your step-mom that she is a welcome new member of your family. Say that your father is a great guy and was a wonderful husband for many years. Say that you love your dad so much that you want him to always be happy, that she has brought a smile back to his face and for that you are grateful.Tell the crowd that you are happy to see that he has found love again and you wish them a long life together. Then ask people to toast the new bride and groom.
