Wedding Speech Technique
By Eric Hartwell
Witnessing a wedding ceremony is exciting in itself. Celebrating the
momentous event is even more anticipated. Besides the heartwarming
traditions done by the bride and groom during the celebration, there is the
delicious meal shared by the newlyweds and the guests who have
witnessed the wedding. But the wedding celebration is not all about the
fun activities and food. It is also about the solemnity of wedding
speeches, which are prepared by special people important to their lives to
welcome them into the amazing union they have both willingly entered
together.
Who Gives Wedding Speeches?
The time for giving wedding speeches is an intimate moment shared by
the bride, groom, families, friends, and guests. The bride and groom
specifically choose who will be giving the wedding speeches. The honor
of giving the wedding speeches is usually given only to those really close
to the couple. These usually include the parents, maid of honor and best
man. There really is no standard to be followed as to how the speeches
will be given. But as a general unwritten rule, the father of the bride goes
first. After her father, her mother may follow then the parents of the
groom. Subsequently, the best man would deliver his speech and toast
followed by the maid of honor. Special friends not notified to make a
speech are most likely welcome to give one if they wanted to.
Preparing Your Wedding Speech
Wedding speeches should not be a challenge for anyone assigned to
deliver one. It can even take less than a minute. Avoid making wedding
speeches that are more than three to five minutes in length. You would
not want to bore the newlyweds and the guests with all your incessant
talking. It should be short but simple and remarkable.
Wedding speeches should be heartfelt messages or advices. You can
insert a few jokes or unforgettable experiences with the bride or groom,
but wedding speeches should never make the couple or the guests
present uncomfortable. Of course, it should be respectful and in honor of
the bride and groom.
Practice makes perfect as well. If you should ever be faced with the task
of delivering a wedding speech, it will not hurt you to prepare as much as
you can. You could list a number of all the things you want to say in the
delivery of the wedding speech. Later on, you can narrow it down to the
most essential and interesting things only. Making an outline and drafting
it first before making the final wedding speech is very helpful.
If you are shy in making speeches in front of people, it will help if you
practice in front of a mirror as frequently as you can. It would also help if
you ask someone to help you out by pretending to be an audience at the
wedding reception.
But the most important thing in making wedding speeches is that it should
be sincere and interesting. It should show how much you care for the
couple. The bride and groom will definitely appreciate genuine wedding
speeches than speeches taken from books, magazines and the Internet.
