The groom’s speech

Don't forget the toast!

It can be a nerve-racking day for the groom even without having to make a speech! But the good news is that you only really have to say a few words of thanks – keep it simple and you’ll fly through!

Welcome the guests

The groom should begin with welcoming all the guests.  He should specifically mention the guests who have travelled a long way simply to be a part of the ceremony. The groom should also extend his appreciation to the parents of the bride. He should also say how fortunate he is to get the opportunity to be a part of their family and thank them to allow him to marry their daughter.

Mention the bride

The next part of the groom speech is focused on the bride, indicating how thankful he is that the bride accepted his proposal.  The groom will usually says something about their relationship and share some facts like where or how they first get to meet each other, perhaps sharing a humorous story related to both of them. It won’t do any harm if you can inject some humour in your groom’s wedding speech.

Thank the groomsmen and bridesmaids

The groom should thank the groomsmen, especially the best man, who have accompanied and helped him. Last, but not the least, are the bridesmaids:- the groom thanks the bridesmaids for being a part of the ceremony and helping the bride. He may even propose a toast to the bridesmaids.

The groom finishes up his speech by introducing the best man as the next speaker.

And that’s all there is to the groom’s speech…
