Wedding Speeches
Being asked to give a wedding speech is a great
honor. You have the opportunity to publicly tell the couple how much they mean
to you. Yes, you can express your feelings in a card, but declaring your
thoughts before all your loved ones gives your words a special significance.
Opportunities such as this come along few and far between - make the most of
it.
When it comes to writing your speech the key thing to
remember are that speeches are essentially long toasts. The same sentiment,
words of wisdom and perspective on marriage that are found in a wedding toast are likewise present throughout a speech. However, a wedding
speech goes one step further. It takes the time to explore and share our
relationship and feelings for the couple with others. And while a wedding toast
can provoke our thoughts, a wedding speech can stir our emotions.
In fact, a
wedding like no other event brings out the best of our emotions: love, joy,
pride, hope and a sense of unity. A wedding speech coveys all those feelings
and more. The bittersweet sadness of a father "losing" his little
girl. The sense of life coming full circle for a grandparent and the
anticipation of their new life together by the couple themselves.

A wedding speech is also a public acknowledgement of those
who made the wedding a reality. It thanks the parents for their financial
contributions. It pays tribute to the hard work and dedication of the wedding
party. Lastly, a wedding speech commends those who took care of all the details
to make the wedding a success.
