Entering ‘free groom speeches’ into the search engines will often find many articles on how to write grooms speeches, but not very many actual speech examples. It is quite possible to waste hours and hours just to find a handful of almost decent example speeches, and with a wedding to organize you have better things to do with your time.
Of course the quality of the example speeches that you find will be poor at best. To bring them up to a good enough standard to use, and to personalize them to suit your circumstances, will take a lot of work. In most cases this will involve an almost complete rewrite, which is a very time consuming process. You begin to wonder whether it may have been better to start from scratch with a blank sheet of paper.
Because the example speeches are free this means that a lot of other grooms would have already downloaded them and used them at their weddings. Just imagine that part way through your speech your wedding guests started whispering to each other that your speech sound exactly like the one they heard last week at another wedding. Not the greatest first impression to leave.
To make it worse your speech will no doubt be recorded on numerous video recorders, digital cameras and mobile phones, so if your speech does bomb then you can fully expect it to haunt you over and over again in the future. You never know you could even end up on You Tube, but for all the wrong reasons!
To recap, if you opt for finding the free grooms speeches that are available on the internet then you are going to have to allow quite a bit of time in order to find some even half-decent ones. You are then going to have to spend quite some time to bring them up to an acceptable quality, and to personalize them to suit your circumstances, not forgetting to replace the name in the example with that of your partner!
After all of this time and effort you will more than likely only end up with an average speech, which many people will recognize from previous weddings they have attended.
So what is the solution? Well you could hire a professional speech writer, however this is not cheap, and even then there is no guarantee that you can deliver the speech how the writer imagined it. In this case it will sound false and unbelievable, unless you rewrite it to suit your personality. More time wasted.
A better alternative is to invest in a book written by a professional author and speech writer. Then you will get much higher quality grooms speech examples, and also useful tips on how to personalize and deliver the speech. The result is a high quality and unique speech which you feel comfortable delivering, and at an affordable price. An investment well worth making.
