Bride Wedding Speech - A Few Tips To Write A Beautiful Speech From The Heart

by: Felicity Porter


Bride wedding speech? Yes, you had planned on giving a speech. This is your long awaited day and you want every moment of it to be memorable. So a few entertaining and clever words are of course a part of that. But in reality you have a truck load of things to deal with: bride speech - wedding preparations - the dress - the flowers - the caterers - the music - the . . . You know what I mean. You can't imagine where you would find the time to take a few disjointed notes, much less an entertaining speech? The thought to cancel the whole speech has crossed your mind more than once, because if you do it you want it to be great and you don't feel that with the little time you have left and the never-ending list of things still to be done to prepare for the great day, you'd be able to produce something even remotely fitting.

Bride wedding speeches are not as hard to put together as we might initially think. Anything we aren’t used to seems to grow into a huge undertaking, when in reality what you really need is a moment of peace and quiet (just steal one), and to sit down and arrange your thoughts. Today you may have a list of ten errands to run. Take a note pad with you and when an idea pops into your mind, stop for a second, jot it down and keep on running errands; things you love about your future husband, some memories, some funny or heartwarming anecdotes, a list of people you might want to thank. By the time the day is over, you'll have a lot of raw material to shape your speech from. When you look at it right now it surely doesn't look anything like a speech, it doesn't even make much sense. But that's ok. You are just getting started.

Now check that list over and eliminate any anecdote that has the potential to be hurtful or offensive to anybody that might be present at your wedding celebration, like that hilarious incident when Uncle Robert went and . . . . The best pun isn’t worth the ensuing fall-out. At this point you put your notes in order by categories: what you want to mention about your husband and how much you love him, about your relationship, the things you wanted to tell your parents, in-laws and other family members and all their efforts to make this beautiful day possible, the other people you'd like to express your thankfulness to (just choose wisely to not have to mention the entire guest list), etc..

You’ll see how the speech will appear from that pattern pretty much on its own. When you have all these paragraphs lined up, read them out loud to hear how it sounds. Polish it a bit to bring it all together and make it flow. Don't worry too much about being eloquent and using impressive words. Speak straight from the heart, it's what touches people most. Make the whole speech some ten to fifteen minutes long. Bring it to a close with a witty toast and. . . there you go, you just finished writing your bride's wedding speech. Over the next few days take a minute here and there to read it out loud again and maybe to somebody for practice, and take your notes along on the wedding day, just in case. . .

Now with that out of the way you're free to rush after the caterer, or was it the florist you had to talk to right now? . . .
