Aside from the obvious, your current fiancee, your are the most important person to attend the wedding day, again for obvious reasons. Now along with the pressures of arriving at the church on time, remembering to pick up your suit from the dry cleaners and the ring from the jewelers, you will have to write and perform a bridegroom speech on the day of the wedding. As if you have not already got enough to organize! Do not worry; here we will talk you through how to write a simple and effective speech that will wow your audience.

Cover All of the Bases

As the man of the day, you will have quite a few points to cover. You will need to make special thanks to certain people whom have helped to make the day what it is. Firstly, always thank the bride's father for his speech that preceded your own, and if he has contributed towards costs for the wedding, always make a special and heartfelt thank you to him for this. Next, it will be time to say thank you to your own parents and flatter them by pointing out how well they have managed to bring you up. This might bring in a few laughs too but even so, it will be appreciated. Also, thank all of the attendees for making the short or long journey to be with you and sharing the special day with you and your new wife.

Special Thanks

An extra special thank you must go out to your right hand man, the best man or best men, if you have chosen more than one. He has spent countless weeks, if not months making arrangements for your stag do and ensuring that you made it to the church on time. Only a great friend would be able to do this, so raise a glass to your best man, to thank you for all of the hard work and effort put in. The general rule of thumb here is to try to appear as sincere as possible, but as this is a true friend that you are talking about, you could loosen this part of the speech up a little and make it a little jovial.

Tell the Story of Love

A great way to capture the hearts of the audience would be to talk about how you and your wide first met and how you grew to fall in love with her. Pointing out her beautiful features and fantastic personality will not only make the bride blush, but can also be seen as a great compliment on her parents. Thank her mother and father for bringing up such a wonderful person and allowing her to marry you.
