Tips To Write an Awesome Father Of The Groom Speech
The father of the bride and the best man’s speeches are usually the most anticipated speeches at a wedding. The father of the groom’s speech is important but let’s face it, everyone eagerly waits for the above mentioned two. Hence, it is imperative that you make your father groom speech spectacular so that you can take everyone by surprise. Here are some useful pointers to help make your speech one to remember.
A father’s groom speech is memorable only if it perfectly combines heartfelt emotion and humor. Too much of either can become a drag. So make sure to balance out the elements perfectly. Luckily, your speech need not be as emotional as the one given by the father of the bride. so take the opportunity to add more humor but also sincerity in yours.
Start by welcoming the bride into your family. Talk about the qualities that overwhelmed you and your impression of her when you first met. Congratulate your son on his good taste, as this will make the bride feel special and impress her family. Talk about how wonderful the wedding has been and how happy you are to be a part of the couple’s big day.
Next talk about your son’s his childhood days and his life as an adult. You can talk about some embarrassing stories about his childhood, there are bound to be some funny ones. Add a little emotion to it by talking about how you felt when he was growing up, and your role as a father. Mention that fact that you are proud of him and his achievements and have faith in his ability to raise a family. Talk about his bachelor days and his personality back then. AVOID any mention of his past relationships even in jest. A father’s groom speech cannot afford to include anything that can embarrass the newlyweds on their special day. This is the day for the bride and groom, and no one else. Then talk about how his character has been enhanced by the bride and how he has grown and changed. Talk about them as a couple, and how good a match they are for each other. You can also mention your reaction to the news of the engagement and your role in the wedding.
No father’s groom speech can be bereft of advice for the wedding couple. Give him some advice on what he is getting into and how to handle the various situations in his upcoming married life. Humorous advice is the best, so that no one will have cause for complaint. Talk about your own experiences to add a little bit more punch to your advice. Make sure your father’s groom speech is short and crisp. This part of the speech should not turn into a lecture. Your own wedding day and marriage goof ups and lessons you have learnt in your life will be both funny and thought provoking. Express your thought about the relationship and your confidence in their abilities to face the future together.
Express some words of happiness at getting to know the bride’s family. Give the bride and groom your blessing. Humorous closing lines relating to honeymoon and future children will go down well with the audience. Ask everyone to join in the party while boasting, in jest, about your own superb dancing skills. Toast the bride and groom on their happiness, then toast the bride’s family and end with a blessing from your wife and yourself to the happy couple and their wonderful future together.
