I wrote a great and inspirational wedding speech in my sister's wedding. You too can help inspire and light up a wedding if you make a great speech similar to mine. Just read on and I can help you by sharing some of the knowledge I learned from some speech writing pages on the Internet.
I was also anxious and distressed at the upcoming wedding of my sister because I did not have a proper wedding speech or toast at all. I was so stressed out that I was not sleeping properly weeks before the wedding. I thought that I cannot come up with a good wedding speech. Good thing I searched around the web and found some guide that I also want to share with you all in this article.
The first thing I did was to calm down. After calming down a lot I was able to think clearly and searched the web for some answers. I will share with you some of the tips I found.
1. Write your speech with a single theme in mind. The one theme or one topic policy is definitely for coherence's sake. This does not mean that you can only tell one anecdote or story. What this means is that you can tell a bunch of stories with one over-arching theme governing them.
2. After you figure out your theme then be sure to determine what point it is that you want to impart to your audience or listeners, especially the newly weds. You can be inspirational and funny at the same time.
3. Be imaginative, use colorful words, metaphors, and even strong imagery to help your audience visualize what you are talking about. For example, instead of stating things, show them. Show, don't tell is the classic advice given to creative writers.
4. Rehearse your speech in front of someone else. This will allow the person to critique your speech and style of delivery fast and efficient. This is helpful if you don't have enough time. Working with another person is really the best. Hey, the adage is correct, two brains are indeed better than one.
5. If you don't have anyone to rehearse with then try and record yourself delivering the speech. Believe me, hearing yourself in recording will help you straighten out your delivery and even the voice and style of your writing.
I followed the following steps and I wrote a great wedding speech at my sister's matrimony. It was a very classy and inspirational speech that did not detract from the newlyweds. I'm kind of proud of myself for putting the effort and thought into the speech. I was just glad that my wedding speech made my sister and her husband very happy.
