Wedding Speaches 411 Blog

There comes a time in every man's life, when the dreaded speech preparation and delivery must be addressed – that will happen when you marry, if you are the parent of the bride or one of the unlucky bunch of the best friends that are selected for service in a wedding.

The problem is that we must take a very diplomatic speech will tickle everyone and offend anyone, which is suitable for the ears of children and even adults are involved and they can prove their friendship and relationship with bride, groom, family and significant others, but definitely not supposed to break it.

The best rule is to try to keep it clean – obscenity is fine, but it is not pornography!

You can start your speech outline around a story with a few jokes – try this:

P. Do you think that marriage is a lottery?

A. No – with a lottery than a small chance!

Clean and humorous and nobody is realistically going to bother or hurt to their feelings.

Probably best to stay away from something like: "Marriage is the leading cause of divorce" which is too close up the bone and especially with many of the wedding party had already gone through a divorce and divorce rates so high.

Some few words of history are often a good way to liven up your speech, try these:

"The best way to get most husbands to do something is to suggest that perhaps is too old to do. "
– Ann Bancroft

"I think men who have a pierced ear are better prepared for marriage. That have experienced pain and bought jewelry. "
– Rita Rudner

"By all means marry if you get a good woman, be happy. If you get a bad, you become a philosopher. "
– Socrates

"I was married by a judge. Should have asked for a jury."
– George Burns

Just be sure you even handed in the use of such pranks – if one line is a blow to their husbands, make sure there is a balance between combating the joke at the expense of wives.

One-Liners are great for fall in a speech, but sometimes you need something more detailed. One technique is to take Current story and weave the bride or groom in the story as the characters involved. If you do not feel comfortable with this way, try to personalize a story using all anyone knows, even if people are not directly involved know the whole, for example the old school teacher.

For example:

"I remember the meeting Ms. Smith, our former math teacher, years after leaving school at a cocktail party. I said "Hello" and started to speak until I realized he had his wedding ring on his finger wrong – when I asked him why he had the ring on the wrong finger, she said it was because had married the wrong man! "

Or you can make fun of himself:

"I married Miss Right, but I do not knew his name was always "

There are of course the mother-in-law jokes, but given the proximity of two of them to the bride and groom, tact and Care must be exercised, but only if you need one, here it is:

"Behind every successful man is a surprised mother in law! "
