Groom Wedding Speeches
Tips on Putting Your Speech Together
1. Get yourself a journal and write down all of the funny events that happen leading up to your wedding day. Although you want to write an emotional speech, you want it to be humorous at the same time. By sharing wedding preparation secrets based on what happened behind the scenes, these secrets can really make a speech interesting.
2. You should write down everything you want to say. By writing down your thoughts, your goal at this moment is not to write the speech itself. You are just giving yourself ideas. The point is you will have a chance to organize these points later.
3. Now is the time for the most crucial part of the speech writing process: brainstorming. While brainstorming for ideas, the ensuing list of questions will help lead you to other questions. How many minutes should the speech be? Will religion be part of the speech? What subjects or topics should you avoid? What is the typical age of those who will be attending? What subjects would you like to talk about? Should the speech have a particular premise? What will you try to emphasize during the speech? What will you say to end the speech?
4. After you have written and organized the majority of the speech, you now need to add a toast at the end. Since toasts are basically meant to be short, you do not have the time to thank everyone at this point. Your toast will be to the bride and the parents. If you are clever enough, you can manage to keep the toast as short as one sentence.
5. Practice, practice, practice!. Many grooms use note cards to deliver their speech but you don't want to sound like a robot reading it word-for-word. If you have practiced your speech often, your words will come out more fluidly.
