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.
