As the father of the bride, the wedding speech is not going to be foremost on your mind – not until the day of the wedding that is! By that stage it is going to be too late to put together all the heart warming stories spanning birth to bride, a dash of wisdom to send them off into their shared future, humorous asides to lighten the mood, and so much more… this has to be a father of the bride wedding toast to remember. So you will pick up a sample wedding toast somewhere and that will be OK. Yeah yeah.

Leading up to the wedding there are so many other things to contend with, and all of them vying for your immediate attention.You are an integral part of all the organization and planning for the big day, the man with the bottomless pockets, the shoulder to cry on when things go wrong (which they will), and the steadying influence keeping the women in the family from teetering over the edge of hysteria.

When you wake up to the fact that some sort of father of the bride sample wedding toast has still to be written, you will wonder why the devil you kept putting it off, as you really want your daughters wedding to be perfect and your speech even more so. (Thats one in the eye for cousin Jack.)

Well, your choices are as follows:

• Join a speech training organisation or follow our guidelines over the next few weeks.
• Get help from a professional or a friend who can craft you a really good sample wedding toast that you can edit to suit the occasion.

If you cannot do either in the time frame you have left, we suggest you look at our resource page to get your hands on a memorable speech in minutes.

Whatever you do, good luck and congratulations on the impending nuptials. Make your daughter even more proud of you.
