Speeches for Tying Knot

It doesn't matter if wedding speeches aren't your cup of tea. Most people aren't born with the gift to speak. All it takes is to learn a few tricks of the trade and the willingness to spare some time working on the speech. To begin with, you ought to look at your speech not just as a formality, but an opportunity to add insight about the bride and groom for the benefit of everyone at the ceremony.

Wedding speeches ought to address both families on an impersonal level. However, the best man and maid of honor are the two lucky ones who can put in something more personal as long as there aren't any awkward moments for the newlyweds. According to tradition, the father of the bride is the first to speak and is introduced to the guests by the best man if there is no master of ceremonies for the occasion. After he raises a toast to the couple, this is followed by the groom's speech and toast, followed by the maid of honor who proposes a toast for the bride. The best man is responsible for conveying messages from those who were unable to attend and finishes with a toast to the newlyweds.
