Wedding Speech Delivered by the Bride




Wedding Speech Delivered by the Bride

✨ Bride’s Wedding Speech (Sample)

Good evening, everyone.
First, I want to say how incredibly grateful I am to see all of you here—from our family, friends, and loved ones who have traveled near and far—to celebrate this very special day with us. Your presence means more than words can express. Today wouldn’t be complete without each and every one of you.

When I was younger, I used to imagine what this day might look like—what I would be wearing, where it would be, and of course, who would be standing beside me. Never in my wildest dreams did I imagine that I would be lucky enough to marry someone as patient, kind, supportive, and loving as the man I am standing beside today.

To my parents, thank you. For raising me, guiding me, loving me, and teaching me not only how to dream, but how to work for what matters. The values you instilled in me are the foundation of who I am. I hope today, and every day, I make you proud.

To my new family, thank you for welcoming me so warmly. I know marrying into a family means joining not just one person, but a whole world of traditions, stories, laughter, and shared memories. I am honored to become a part of yours.

And to my husband—my best friend, my partner, my calm place—thank you. Thank you for choosing me, every day. Thank you for loving me even when I’m not at my best, for believing in me, for listening, for laughing with me, and even for the moments when we grow through challenges together. You make life lighter, sweeter, and more meaningful. I promise to stand beside you, not just when life is beautiful, but also when it is difficult or uncertain. I promise to listen, to learn, to forgive, and to always choose us.

Today is the start of a new chapter, not the end of a story. Together, we will write a life filled with love, respect, adventure, and faith in each other. I am so excited for every tomorrow with you.

Thank you all again for sharing this unforgettable moment with us. May tonight be filled with laughter, joy, and memories we will cherish forever.

Cheers—to love, to family, and to a lifetime together.

You may well be wondering what the Bride is doing making a wedding speech.

Well, those of you who know me well, know that I always have talked too much and usually find a way to get my two cents worth in so it probably is no surprise! I also wanted to say thank you to those deserving in my own words.

When I met Ray, I was totally off men and relationships, so it is a more than a little surprising to find myself standing here just under two years later! I have my sister to thank for this remarkable conversion, as she was the Cilla Black wannabe who got us together – with all the subtlety of Blind Date I might add. Her favorite trick was to invite Ray to come for drinks with her and I and then suddenly “remember” she’d left the iron on or hadn’t fed the cat or any other such nonsense.

Of course this was highly embarrassing and cringe-making but I am so very grateful to Donna for knowing us both better than we knew ourselves, knowing that we should be together and putting us in each others’ lives.

She has been a great Bridesmaid and she has helped a lot over the last few months; not least in the organisation of a top hen party - the details of which follow the time honoured code of “What goes on tour, stays on tour”! Donna not only is the best sister a girl could ever have but she is also my very bestest friend and has been my idol since I arrived in this world. Thank you so much for everything, not least for loving me. This is just a small gift as a token of our love and appreciation.

While I am on thanking there are a few more that I would like to do and I promise to be brief!
Firstly thanks to all of you for coming and thank you for the wonderful gifts – we’ll look forward to opening them when we get back from honeymoon. I know that most of you took time off work and travelled a long way to be here and I want to say how much it means to us to share our day with the family and friends that love us.

Sadly not everyone could be with us and I would especially like to mention Ray’s Grandfather, George who sadly passed away last year and my favourite Aunt, Auntie Kissie who has been very ill and wasn’t well enough to make the journey. They are both sorely missed here today.

Secondly I want to thank Ivor – the best best man – he has done a fantastic job, although depending on the contents of his speech, I may retract this!!!! Seriously he has been an amazing support to Ray and has done us both proud in his role. Thanks Ivor for making our day that little bit more special and for not shaving Ray’s hair off on the stag night.

Thanks also to Belinda, my wicked step-mother! – the reading was beautiful and thank you for agreeing to do it. Thanks also for getting my Father here on the right day, at the right time and in the right clothes. Here’s a little something for you to thank you for everything.
I’d like to say a few words about my Mom and Dad. They have been the best parents a girl could wish for and they are also my friends. My Mom is the most amazing person and she taught me to be independent from a very young age. I’m sure Ray would NOT thank her for this as I am incredibly stubborn as a result - but it always made me aware that when I did get married, if I got married, it would be to the right man at the right time and that is certainly true. She is also
an incredibly talented singer, which I’m sure those of you who heard her sing earlier will agree. It was beautiful and meaningful and I’ll remember it forever – thank you so much Mom.

My Dad on the other hand, taught me something that is invaluable; SPORT IS VERY IMPORTANT. This is something that I know will stand me in good stead in my marriage to Ray! It is said that you marry a man like your Dad and if that’s true – then kind, generous, loving, caring, supportive, always there when you need him and great to hug is what I’m getting. Thanks so much for everything Dad, not least for giving me away – although you were probably glad to get rid of me!

I’d just like to say a few words about three of the most excellent girls one could ever hope to meet. Angie Schofield, Tracie Buckley and Catherine Meakings. I’ve been very lucky to find good friends like them. Angie and her husband came over this morning to blow up balloons and bring the table decorations and cake over. Tracie is kindly going out of her way to Merseyside to take my bouquet to my Aunt who couldn’t make it and Catherine has been to John Lewis for me so often in the last few months that they have given her her own entrance. I just wanted to thank you all, not just for the practical things you have done but for the support you have given me. These small gifts are a huge token of my love and appreciation. Thanks a lot you guys.

So now I turn to my new Husband! Last but certainly not least. I want to thank you Ray for a wonderful day – thank you for all your hard work in realising our dreams – today has been so perfect.
I have never been able to find the right words to express just how I feel about this man who has become my husband today – so I’m going to recite this poem in the hope that it might go someway to let him know just what he means to me.
I love you, not only for what you are, but for what I am when I’m with you
I love you, not only for what you have made of yourself, but for what you have made of me
I love you for the part of me that you bring out.

I love you for putting your hand into my heaped up heart
And passing over all the foolish weak things that are held dimly there
And for drawing out into the light all the beautiful belongings
That no-one else had looked quite far enough to find.
I love you because you have helped me to make my life a beautiful life worth living
I love you because you have done more than anything could have done to make me good
And more than any fate could have done to make me happy.

You have done this by being yourself and loving me.
You know, my Nan always told me to marry a rich man – I couldn’t have married a richer man than Ray. He is rich in inner strength, understanding and kindness, in forgiveness and patience. He is my everything and I am very proud to be Mrs Lewis. I‘d like to propose a toast to us – the best is yet to come.

Wedding Speech1



Wedding Speech1

Indeed, where should I begin! What on earth caused the delay?

Before delving into the customary character critique of the groom that typically constitutes a best man’s address, I would like to express my gratitude to Jason for his gracious remarks regarding the bridesmaids, who undoubtedly appeared stunning and performed exceptionally well.

It was a significant privilege to be invited by Jason to serve as his best man on this momentous occasion in his life.
I aimed to fulfill this role with the utmost diligence, thus I deemed it necessary to conduct some research, turning to the internet for guidance.
I embarked on a quest for information pertaining to the duties of a best man, along with various suggestions and advice; however, as anyone familiar with the internet can attest, it is remarkably easy to become distracted,
especially when one’s spouse is out, as I have been informed by my married acquaintances.

Nevertheless, after being sidetracked for a few hours, I returned to my inquiry regarding best man-related matters.

On a lighter note, I did stumble upon some intriguing information about continental drift.
I understand that you did not come here for a discourse on plate tectonics and geography, yet this is indeed fascinating material.
It appears that the continents of Europe and America are converging at a pace of approximately 5 centimeters annually. This is a rather sluggish advancement. Scientists have even devised a scale to quantify movements that occur at such a slow rate, referred to as the Jason Murch scale, named for the duration it has taken him to make an honest woman of Christine!

In fact, when Jason initially requested that I be his best man, my immediate reaction was, "Goodness, I must prepare a speech!"

What shall I discuss?
My research indicated that my address should incorporate some amusing anecdotes at the groom’s expense, or rather, a form of character assassination.
I recall attending a wedding where the best man stood up and remarked how the groom, being a man who had led a modest and virtuous life, had provided him with very little enticing material for risqué and scandalous stories to enrich his best man’s speech.

Fortunately, the situation with Jason is not as one might expect. However, the downside is that I possess an abundance of material, which may prolong our time together, so I trust you are all seated comfortably and free of urgent commitments for the next few hours.

Of course, I am merely jesting. I do have a considerable amount of material, yet 90% of it is unsuitable for public sharing. There was the cast of the ladyboys of Bangkok, and the goat...

I am aware that many individuals here might be curious about what Christine finds appealing in Jason.

I have known him for quite some time, and to be honest, I am uncertain as well! It could be attributed to his strong work ethic. Our initial meeting occurred when we were both representatives selling carpets. Jason frequently made trips to Chippenham and back, not to meet clients, but rather because he spent most of his time at home and needed to accumulate mileage on his vehicle to create the illusion of productivity.

Currently, Jason is employed as a training consultant. He demonstrated early potential in this role by instructing Christine on how to answer the phone for the boss, always claiming that Jason had departed the house hours earlier, despite still being in bed.

Despite this unconventional sales strategy, Jason achieved significant success. He was honored as the guest of distinction at a distributor's annual awards event. I am certain it was merely a misunderstanding that resulted in a night spent as a guest of the Berkshire constabulary! I believe a drink may have been involved.

Returning to the original inquiry, what does Christine see in Jason? It is likely not his work ethic; perhaps it is his romantic disposition? As anyone familiar with Jason and Christine can attest, they have a passion for travel. In fact, they have journeyed to so many distant locations that their carbon footprint surpasses that of Alan Wicker. Scientists estimate that they are personally accountable for approximately 15% of global warming and the submergence of certain low-lying islands!

They have traveled to numerous destinations, including Rome, The Vatican City, Venice, St. Mark's Square, the Doge's Palace, the Bridge of Sighs, Las Vegas, The Strip, the Bellagio Hotel, and New York, where they enjoyed carriage rides through Central Park and visited the Empire State Building, among other very romantic locations.

This may seem ideal for a marriage proposal, and while that could be accurate, Jason opted for something different. He selected a venue that is decidedly less glamorous, yet he insists it is just as romantic: ********’s cabaret club and fish and chip restaurant in Las Americas, Tenerife. I am not implying that it is rough… in fact, I am genuinely not suggesting it is rough, as the owners might take offense and have me eliminated!

Thus, it is neither the work ethic nor romance that prevails; I suppose it will remain one of life’s great mysteries, much like why men have nipples or why women visit the restroom in pairs. However, Christine did mention that Jason has always brought joy into her life.

To be precise, she stated that he never turns off the lights, but it essentially conveys the same sentiment. To be honest, Jason and Christine have experienced many romantic moments together, and I would like both of you to share one with us today.
Christine, could you please place your right or left hand flat on the table, and Jason, would you kindly place your hand on top of hers?
Wonderful, I would like you to remember and cherish this moment forever… the last time you will have the upper hand, Jason.
On a more serious note, I have known both Jason and Christine for many years and hold their friendship in high regard. Jason has always been a wonderful friend, and they have consistently been there for me whenever I needed support.

I would also like to express my gratitude to Christine for the countless Sunday lunches and the use of the spare bedroom, despite occasionally leading her husband astray from the path of righteousness.
I realize that arriving home at 3:30 in the morning and waking you up was not amusing, but at that moment, it certainly seemed so. I know that as an understanding wife, there will be many such instances in the future… or perhaps not, as the case may be.

It has been a privilege to know both of you, and  I feel that both of your families have become nearly like a second family to me. I have come to know all of your children. Jason’s parents and Christine’s late father, Alan, would undoubtedly have been very pleased to see how beautiful she appears today.

Before I conclude, I have a few messages to share from individuals who were unable to attend today. Jason’s son, Wesley, is not present and sends his best regards; I believe the only person more disappointed than Wesley about his absence is the individual who will have to face him in the cage later tonight.

Additionally, there is a card from the members of the Avon Packet Cricket Club. It states, ‘Jason was ineffective in all positions, but we hope Christine has better luck with him later.’ I am not entirely certain what that implies, but nonetheless...
Ladies and gentlemen, I would like you all to stand, etc.......

A Thankful Wedding Speech by the Bride



A Thankful Wedding Speech by the Bride

Anyone who knows me well will understand that it is quite challenging to keep me silent, and today is no different - I believe it is fitting for the bride to speak, although I assure you I will keep it brief!

The primary reason I wished to deliver a speech was to express my gratitude to some very important individuals who have played a significant role in today’s events:

(To the groom) First and foremost, you have brought me immense joy since we first met two years ago, and today marks the happiest day of my life. Thank you for completing my life. Given your history of either missing weddings or forgetting (or misplacing) your suit, I must also extend my gratitude for your eventual arrival at the wedding where we met, and, more importantly, for arriving at the church on time today, dressed appropriately.

I would also like to extend my heartfelt thanks to my bridesmaids. 
Firstly, to my sister, for taking care of me today and during my hen weekend! I greatly appreciate your efforts in organizing our weekend in London
I believe everyone will agree that we had a fantastic time, and I have a small token of my appreciation for you. And of course, to my other beautiful bridesmaids who have been absolute angels today. 
I have a little something for both of you as well. Thank you very much.
(Presents gifts)
I wish to express my gratitude to my mother for all her assistance and support, not only today but throughout the years, and for providing me with my “something old” which I am wearing for good luck today. We have a small gift for you from us.

I could not have been more fortunate to have such wonderful in-laws; thank you for welcoming me into your family and for all your support with the wedding preparations. 

A special thank you to my mother-in-law for organizing the bridesmaids' outfits and for creating the beautiful invitations and order of service cards. And to my father-in-law, thank you for your lovely reading in church today. We also have a small gift for both of you.

I would also like to thank all my friends who have contributed to today and assisted with the arrangements. 
Thank you so much to all my wonderful friends. who have contributed to today and helped with the arrangements. 

Thank you so much to all my wonderful friends for their friendship over the years. They have a1ways been there for me when I really need them.
Lastly, thank you to everyone for coming today to celebrate with us.
I hope you all enjoy yourself.

Humorous Wedding Speech Delivered by the Groom


Humorous Wedding Speech Delivered by the Groom


Well, as Henry VIII said to each one of his wives … 'I shall not keep you long'.

Ladies and Gentlemen, this day is an historic day, on this day in 1666, the Great Fire of London started - nothing to do with my wife's cooking. And on this day in the year 2000, you attended this wedding reception and heard the finest wedding speech of your entire lifetime, and my best man Michael will be making it.

I after all, did have a great speech worked out for you today, but as I am now married, my wife has told me what to say instead.
Thank you - All

So on behalf on my wife and I. We would like thank you all for coming here today and sharing our special day with us. Especially those who have travelled some distance to be here, including our chief bridesmaid Suzy and her boyfriend Chris who have come all the way from Canada via Glasgow.

We would also like to thank you all very much for your cards, kind thoughts and wonderful presents. I was afraid that putting a dinner service on the wedding list was not such a good idea. When I discussed it with Mel I suggesting we should get a dishwasher, but she told me not to worry, she's going to get one when she's married - Me!

We had considered getting married abroad, but we decided we would prefer to share our day with all of you. And I'm glad we did. Here's to all of you who are all very special people, picked by us both and may we all have a great day (toast).

Thank you - Brian

Brian, thank you for those kind words, (you hope that you won't let him down/are proud to be his son-in-law, live up to his expectations etc. Having lived with Mel for 3 years now, I think I am prepared well enough.)

I must say that both Hazel and yourself always make me feel very welcome when I come to visit.
In view of the fact that my new Mother-in-Law is so close, I don't want to say much, other than only Adam had no Mother-in-Law - that's how we know he lived in paradise.

Thank you - Parents

We would like to thank both sets of parents as we wouldn't be here today if it wasn't for them.
We would like to thank them all for your love and support over the years. For all the advice you have given us.
For putting up with us and pointing us in the right direction.
Thank you for all the help with today's preparations, the flowers, cravats, favours, finance the list is endless.
So as a thank you to both sets of parents we have a small gift for you.

Thank you - Mel

I must thank Brian and Hazel for bringing up such a lovely daughter.
But also due to the number of phone calls between Mel and her mother, BT would also like to thank you both.
I asked Mel's mother in the church, how did Mel look in her Wedding dress, she said looked wonderful, but that didn't prepare me enough for when I saw her walk down the isle. I was overwhelmed to the say the least by how beautiful Mel looks today.

So, to my wife, my bride and joy. - Thank you for everything you have done. You know everything about me and love me just the same. I have my faults, yet you still agreed to marry me. I am extremely lucky today to be the one to marry you - and I hope this is the start of many happy years together.

Together We have been planning this wedding for over a year now, although it seems like a lifetime. It has been slightly more difficult over the past few months as I have been working away from home, but thanks to everyone, everything has come together. So a big thank-you to all that have helped and to Mel who has managed so well when I haven't been around.

Of course, Mel wasn't too happy with me working away, mainly because of the timing but she eventually came around to the idea, she said that she didn't mind me being away from home, just as long as I don't enjoy it! I can safely say it was hell!

Thank you - Michael

I would personally like to thank Michael for agreeing to be my Best Man. Although the trouble with being the best man at a wedding is that you never get to prove it.
Michael was reluctant at first, saying that he was an old married man and that I should get someone younger. Well judging what he got up to during the stag night he organised, if that's old and married, then I'm glad I'm heading that way. (PRESENT)

Of course for those who don't know, Michael is my elder brother. Now I know we look nothing alike, I'm just glad I got the good looks in the family. And looking at Mel's brother Chris over there, I'm just glad she doesn't take after him.

Thank you - Ushers and Pageboy

Mel and I would also like to thank Richard and Chris for being ushers today. Thank you Chris for your wordr of advice when we told him we were getting married - You daft git.
We would also like to thank Robert for being a Page Boy today. (PRESENTS)

Thank you - Bridesmaids

A final and big thank you goes to our bridesmaids. We would like to say how lovely the bridesmaids look and thank them all for doing such a wonderful job today. Especially Susy, who as I have already said has travelled all the way from Canada, we would like to thank her for her help and support over the phone and this last week. We have a small gift as a token of our thanks and as a memento of this lovely day.

Ladies and Gentlemen, please be upstanding. I would like to propose a toast … to the bridesmaids.
Now I'm not going to stand here and give you a load of stale old jokes, I'm going to leave that to the best man.

But, I must say - isn't it funny how history repeats itself? 27 years ago Mel's mom and dad were putting her to bed with a doll - and now it's happening all over again!

And talking of history, this day marks yet another significant anniversary. On this day back in 1901, U.S. president William McKinley was making a speech when some fellow shot him dead, now I'm not much of a one for believing in signs and omens, but there no point in tempting fate, so I think I'll sit down.

Wedding Speech Delivered by the Bride 

 Families and friends. 

This has been a terrific day for Bob and I and we are both thrilled you could all be here. I wanted to say a few words in response to my Dad and thank a few people for all their support. I have spent a lot of time thinking about how to make these thanks – its amazing how much advice and how many books there are out there for Groom and Best Man’s speeches but there is not a lot out there to help the bride. 

 So having failed to find any sensible advice in print, I thought I would ask around to the family and friends for some advice on what to say this evening. I didn’t get much advice about the speech but they gave me some useful snippets to use. 

Sarah found out that Bob and I will share our wedding day and anniversary with a very famous Royal – 2 very famous Royals in fact – the Queen obviously as I believe she is having some sort of celebration herself this weekend. The other Royal is the late King Edward who abdicated to be married to the love of his life – Mrs Simpson. 

Now I expect that Bob and I in time will be more like “The Simpsons” than Edward and Mrs but I trust we can be as happy as that couple were. I have some thanks to make. 

Firstly Andy – thanks for the “hairdo” and busting a gut to get here on time to have a trial run. Ben – thanks for taking photos for our guest book and thank you all for posing and signing it. Sarah – you made your dress, you looked after me on my hen night . 

You have been the perfect Best Woman and a great friend for may years now. You have always been around for me through thick and thin and it was a privilege to be your bridesmaid last year. 

I have to thank your new husband Ian too for marrying you – it has been fantastic fun planning weddings together and thanks for all your top tips and ideas – many of which you can see we have stolen! Simon – perhaps I should reserve my thanks to you until after your Best Man’s speech! 

Thanks for being such a good mate to Bob for so long and for brushing up so well today. In fact that goes for all of the ushers too who have supported Bob and have travelled so far to help out today and share our celebrations– including my brother who took to Bob straight away – even coming on holiday with us last year. 

 Sam – mate – joining us on our Honeymoon just isn’t on! My parents have been wonderful in the run up to this wedding -they have been wonderful all my life – supporting me through school and university and have welcomed Bob into the family with open arms. Dad– thank you for your kind words, your input into making today brilliant and for being patient with us in the run up to today – I know blokes don’t care about what colour the flowers should be but you have feigned interest admirably and endured with great humour more than your fair share of wedding talk. 

Mum – you have really worked hard on so many of the little details of today – the table arrangements and flowers, the place cards, the favours, the cake, as well as making numerous phone calls and visits for us. You have helped me choose my dress and I have had great fun having you help organise this wedding. Mum and Dad – thanks for everything and for making Bob so welcome into the family. 

I know you probably weren’t so sure when we rang you at 3am from Peru to tell you we were getting married – we just got the time difference wrong – sorry about that. Of course, I have special reason to thank Rose and Alistair – their care and support over the years has had a very positive influence over Bob and their very best qualities have rubbed off on him – thanks for your generosity and support for the preparations for the wedding. 

Thanks too for making another wee English Girl so welcome in your family – of course others have paved the way – Susan and Jeff have prepared you for the funny ways of the English – but hopefully as you get to know me and my family you will realise that when it comes to whisky drinking, I can compete with the best of you. Whisky drinking is just one thing I share a passion with Bob for. Poetry and hill walking are others. It was on one of the world’s highest points that Bob proposed to me – at Machu Pichu in Peru. 

Poor Bob was feeling really ill that day – the combination of altitude and a few beers the night before to celebrate reaching the ruin after the gruelling walk of the Inca Trail. Spurred on by romantic thoughts of the wedding we were going to in Lima a few days later for Ivan and Fabiola, he made it most of the way to the ruins, pausing to throw up only once en-route. Picture the scene – we rounded a corner and had one of our first glimpses of the ruins. I ambled up some stone steps to get a good view and joined me and whispered the magic words in my ear. I accepted, of course, and we then asked our guide what the flat platform was that we were standing on was for. 

His reply was “Oh, that is an Incan Sacrificial alter – mainly used for offering virgins to the Sun God”! Well Bob – you didn’t get an Incan Virgin and thankfully you didn’t opt for the traditional thing on that alter but asked me to marry you instead. You all know that Bob was recently re-elected to the city Council with a massive vote once more in his favour. Some of you may also know that he has now been appointed Council Deputy– a great achievement. Bob, please just bear in mind that as long as you are Deputy on the Council, it suits me just fine if you are Deputy at home too. But seriously, I am proud to be here, having married you – proud to be your wife. You are the kindest and most supportive man I could hope to know and I love you very much. I know we will have a wonderful future together. Can I ask you please to raise a glass to my Husband – Bob. Wedding Speech Delivered by the Bride

Humorous Wedding Speech by the Groom



Humorous Wedding Speech by the Groom 

The groom has used the wedding date as a source for funny lines, comparing their marriage with celebrity couples for comic effect. While preparing this wedding speech I thought it would be interesting to see if any celebrity couples had been married on the same day as us. Paul Simon and Carrie Fisher wed in 1983...and split up after 9 months. 

Oh dear. Also, Madonna married Sean Penn on this day in 1985; and we all know the outcome of that. Unlike the latter, while Lisa is "Like A Virgin," I plan to "Cherish" her forever and I am not afraid to 'Justify My Love." 

There's always the "Hanky Panky" to look forward to. There are children present, so the less said about "Get into the Groove" the better. We have been together for nearly ten years, and it's been the happiest decade of my life. 

We first got together at a Halloween party, where she was dressed up as a witch's cat and I was dressed as a crazy axe murderer, 

I was instantly smitten with that kitten I can tell you. She stuck with me through my scabby student days, and she's even managed to suffer living with me for five years. At home, we’re the perfect team - I mess up the house and she tidies. 

I affectionately call her my Mrs. Mop. In 1998 I popped the question, so like Elvis's toilet door Twenty-five years ago, we've been engaged for a long time. 

Today she's made me the happiest man on earth, she's my bride and joy.

 And I think you'll all agree she's done a superb job organizing today almost single-handed. (Toast) Please join me and raise a glass to my beautiful bride. 

To the bride! We'd like to thank the bridesmaids for all their help in the preparation for today, and I think you'll agree they look fantastic. We have some gifts for you. (Hand gifts to them and toasts) To the bridesmaids. 

 We’d like to say a big thank you to our moms for all their love and support over the years. You've both been really good to us. So please join us in a toast. To the moms. 

 Big thanks to the best man, my dear brother. I’m not sure I should give you the gift now with your speech pending. This man had the easiest job on the day, or perhaps he just made it look easy. For someone who's not too steady on his legs (you should have seen him in Amsterdam), he made walking up the aisle an art form today. 

Thanks for all your help over the years bro’. To the best man. For being there when wee needed him, my dad has always helped us out. 

Boney M had him in mind when they wrote "Daddycool.” Please raise your glasses and drink a toast. To my dad. And last but not least, we come to the ushers. I've known these chaps for years and they have certainly done the business today. 

Let’s raise our glasses one more time please. To the ushers. And now for the bit you've all been waiting for, the best man’s speech. I don't mind admitting I'm scared, please be kind. Over to you brother. Wedding speech... wedding-speech-delivered-by-bride.

I really am the luckiest man alive.
Thanks to Mom and Dad:

I would now like to thank my own mom and dad for all the love and support they have given me over the years. I am sure you are looking at me now and thinking what a brave boy? I am not really one for speeches especially in front of 80+ people.

You have always been there for me and helped me though good times and bad especially in my younger days.
If I have ever had a problem where did I go mom and dad of course. I couldn’t ask for two more loving people. I am very proud to have you here with Isia and I on our special day. I know that your love and
support will continue for many years to come.

Thanks to Isia:

I now come to the most important person in my life, and that’s Isia my beautiful bride. I am so proud to say that you are my wife you really do look amazing. I am sure that you will all agree that she has done me proud. I wrote this before today so I never knew until now just how amazing you would look. Knowing you like I do I am sure you will now be getting rather embarrassed and possibly a little pink. But I am sorry I must go on.

We first met at a new years eve party in 1999 we said hello and that was it. I never thought that one day that pretty lady would become my wife. The love story didn’t begin until later that year when Isia decided she would stalk me. She seemed to be everywhere I went and text me constantly although it still hadn’t clicked in my tiny brain just how much she wanted me. Well I am a bloke and we are a bit slow sometimes. I am glad to say she didn’t give up on me and we got together in June of that same year. The months went by and the love got stronger.

We have been though allot in our short time together but have always come out on top no matter what.
As you may know the year 2000 was a leap year so at the end of February I decided it was time for action, I hinted on a number of occasions that our relationship should go that little bit further.

For some reason Isia didn’t realise what I was saying until a quick chat with her mom led to a text message at 3 minutes past 5 on 29th of February. With the words “Will you marry me?” of course I said yes and I soon purchased the ring and did the right thing by proposing on one knee. The only problem was it was in my mom and dads bedroom and all I was wearing was a Blur t-shirt and jeans.

Anyway I did have lots of embarrassing stories to tell about our time together but I think I will save Isia any more embarrassment and continue to praise her instead.

Seriously though I thank you Isia for everything you have done for me and all the love you have given me. I cannot begin to show just how much you mean to me. I love you with all my heart and promise that I will be there for you until the day we part. You are  everything I have ever dreamed of its hard to believe you are real.

Missing People:

Myself and Isia would like to send our love and best wishes to my Uncle Derek and Auntie Doreen who are unable to make it today due to Derek being unwell. I am sure you will all join us in wishing him a speedy recovery.

Thanks to others:

There have been so many people involved in the planning and preparation of our big day, and this is now the time to give thanks to them.

Thank you to Sharon and her staff for allowing us to hold our reception here and for helping us with the planning along the way. I am sure you will all agree it is a beautiful setting.
We would like to give a big thank you to Ros sharp and her mom Carol for the beautiful wedding cake. I am glad to see its still standing.

Thank you to everyone who has given us presents we can’t wait to open them all. They are very much appreciated and will be used everyday by Isia while she slaves away in the kitchen. Well she has duties now doesn’t she? We will be holding a car boot sale soon so if you are after a toaster I am sure we have a nice one going cheap?

Thanks to Gary and Andrew:

I would like to thank my brother Gary and nephew Andrew for agreeing to be our ushers today. You have both done a great Job and managed to keep the rabble in order without the need for violence.

Thanks to Dave:

I would now like to say thank you to Dave for being my best man. We have been mates for many years and you truly are the best man for the Job. You have helped me in many ways and given me good advise on how to treat Isia. 

I thank you for all the help and support you have given me especially over the last few weeks, and for putting up with my moaning. My stag night was great fun and I am sure all those who attended will agree. I hope you are about to prove you’re the best man by given me lots of praise in your speech. If not you better leave now.

But seriously I mean it when I say how pleased I am that you have done me the honour of being my best man and best mate. Cheers Dave.
Thanks to Claire, Charlotte, and Eleanor:

Our next and final big thank you goes out to three beautiful young ladies Claire, Charlotte, and Eleanor. We would also like to wish Eleanor a Happy Birthday for tomorrow. Isia and I would like to say how lovely you all look and thank you for doing such a wonderful Job.

Gift Presenting:

Before I pass you over to Dave for the speech of the day, I would like to present a few gifts to various members of our wedding party
to say thank you for the help you have all given on this special day.

I will start by given a bouquet of flowers to our mom’s who have been an invaluable part of our lives. We would also like to give one more bouquet to another special lady and that’s Isia’s Nan.

We also have gifts for our two ushers Gary and Andrew, and my best man Dave.
Finally I would once gain like to thank our bridesmaids and present them each with a gift.

Ladies and gentleman will you please raise your glasses in a toast to our three bridesmaids.

Hand over:

Now here is the part of the afternoon you have all been waiting for my best man Dave.
Thank you!
