Question 1

What should a groom say in his speech?

Accepted Answer

A groom's speech should focus on thanking everyone who has helped make the wedding day special including the mother and father of the bride (or equivalent), the guests, his own parents, the best man, the bridesmaids, ushers, and anyone else who has contributed to the wedding.

Question 2

Do grooms make speeches at weddings?

Accepted Answer

Tradition states that the groom gives his speech at the wedding reception, following the ceremony. The father of the bride generally delivers his speech first, but if there is no father of the bride, you may wish to ask another family member, or the bride, to give a speech first.

Question 3

Who speaks first at weddings?

Accepted Answer

Whoever is hosting the event should speak first and should take the microphone as soon as guests have found their seats. This first toast is most often made by the parents (or father) of the bride and should combine both a toast to the happy couple and a welcome message to the guests.

Question 4

Who typically gives speeches at weddings?

Accepted Answer

Traditionally, the maid of honour and best man give a toast at the reception, just before dinner is served. It's also common for at least one parent to give a speech.

Question 5

How long should bride and groom speech be?

Accepted Answer

No matter how long you've known the couple, it's best to keep your wedding speech under five minutes and aim for closer to three minutes if you can. Even if there's a lot to say, talking for three minutes can feel like a long time—but with a simple template, you'll nail your moment in the spotlight.
