Bride Wedding Speeches - I Wish I Knew Where To Start...

by Felicity Porter

Writing bride wedding speeches can look like an overwhelming undertaking, especially when you are already dizzy with all the details to keep in mind for the celebration of the big day. Come to think about it you didn't really need this along with everything else you're handling right now, but you do want to give a speech, even if it's just to let the people, who helped make this wonderful day an awesome one, know how much you appreciate them.



So with being so busy and running to and fro to get every last detail taken care of, how are you supposed to get a speech done . . . You can hardly think straight right now and a calm moment to collect your thoughts and write a speech seems as far out of reach as the moon. Well, do some brainstorming and write down everything that comes to mind that you might want to make use of in your speech. You can do that during your busy day. Whenever a thought or idea pops into your mind, stop for a second and note it down. You might be surprised how much raw material you can accumulate by the end of the day. ?

To take a sheet of paper and set down a basic outline or structure is what helped me to make sense of it all:

- The first thing you could mention is how happy you are that the great day has arrived, finally,
- how you guys met,
- what the first thing was that caught your eye about him,
- the stuff you like best about him,
- why you want to marry him and only him and
- how you can’t wait to start your future with him.
- Then you could also mention your parents and your in-laws,
- thank them for their part in making this day possible,
- thank them for preparing the both of you for your adult live, which you will now spend together.
- After that you can continue to mention and thank others on your list, just bear in mind: if you mention Aunt Lucy, you also will have to mention Aunt Meredith, which leads you to having to mention dear Uncle John and then also Uncle Ben, and so on. You get the picture, choose carefully or you might end up spending your wedding celebration trying to find the end of your own speech.
- Mention an anecdote or two; just always keep it on the positive side.
- Close with a witty toast and . . . you’ve got yourself an outline.

Now fill out the structure choosing from your first sheet of thoughts and anecdotes. Swap them around until they fit and got some flow. Your speech should be about ten to fifteen minutes more or less. It's always a good idea to stay on everyone's good side when doing a bride's wedding speech. You don’t want to dampen the spirit of the celebration with a remark that’ll follow you for years to come.

So following a basic structure you will find it won’t be all that hard to put together a heartfelt brides wedding speech that will be cherished and fondly remembered.

  1. Informative post. but according to me Bride wedding speeches are completely about the bride's way of saying thanks to everybody who have helped in making the wedding arrangements an easier task. This is also her chance to thank all the guests who have taken their time to witness this blissful occasion.

    Regards
    Eulogies
