Now you're married all that's left is the groom speech


Traditionally the Groom speech is between the father of the bride speech and the best man speech. You get the chance to say thank you to all the people who helped organise the wedding. Remember that if your bride isn't making a speech include her thanks in yours.

By the time you get to the speech making part of the wedding, you can relax. You're married now so just enjoy the rest of the day!

Open Wide

As with all speeches, your main priority in your groom speech is to make sure you can be heard. Make sure the words you say can get out of your mouth. Don't try to talk like a ventriloquist through closed lips. If the sound is to get out of your mouth you need to open your mouth!

We all make mistakes

Don't worry about making mistakes - if you don't make a fuss about them most people won't even notice. Anyway it's your day amd you're allowed to make mistakes if you want to!

Not too fast

You know what you want to say and you want to get it over with as soon as possible - but don't speak too quickly. Let the wedding guests have time to take in what you have said.

Nervousness

If you feel nervous - smile - it is your wedding after all! Smiling will also prevent your mouth from drying out.

Don't talk down onto the table, make sure that you look at the guests and direct your words where you want them to go.

Fidgeting

A speaker who fidgets is very difficult to listen to. The listeners are too busy watching and waiting for the next fidget!


The next stage

Hopefully you've now got some ideas for your groom speech. The next thing to do is to research and write it and then practise it out loud.
