Wedding Speech Sequence
January 18th, 2011
What is the sequence of speeches at a wedding?
Judging by these replies, it seems to depend where you are.
In the UK, it’s definitely the Bride’s Father first, who proposes a toast to the Bride & Groom, followed by the Groom, who replies on behalf of his wife and himself and toasts the bridesmaids, and finally the Best Man, who responds on behalf of the bridesmaids and generally toasts the Bride & Groom again although there are many variations on this.
If the Bride speaks as well then it’s generally between the Groom and the Best Man.
