A Heartfelt, Emotional Wedding Speech for a Maid of Honor or Best Woman

Best man 1: We'd like to take this opportunity to read a few cards that have been sent here today for the bride and groom. There seems to be just the two, both addressed to the groom. One reads. "We could have been so good together?, Britney Spears. This one reads the same. "We could have been so good together," love. Elton John.

It is I believe traditional to give an insight into the people whose marriage you have all just witnessed. My daughter has made a beautiful bride, but what sort of person is she?Well for a start she isn't environmentally friendly. She wouldn’t let us buy re-cycled toilet paper because she thought it was.

This is a book that puts forward what it portrays as seven rules that can guide couples toward a concordant and durable relationship. The book endeavors to expose a number of what it portrays as myths about marriages and also why they fail. The ideas in this book are definitely coming from the most appropriate channel due to the fact that Gottman, being a professor of psychology and the director and founder of the Seattle Marital and Family Institute, has carried out studies on the routines of married couples in remarkable detail through the span of numerous years. The seven standards Gottman sets out are for the lovers to improve their love maps; sustain affection and admiration; move in the direction of each other rather than away; allow their partner impact them; take care of their solvable issues; conquer gridlock, and make shared meaning. Direct in their approach, yet significant in their impact, these standards show partners new and amazing techniques for making their marriage work. These principles help couples concentrate on each other, on focusing on the little everyday moments that when hung together, make up the absolute entirety of any relationship. Being attentive to customary matters gives life partners a strong foundation for settling dispute when it does happen and discovering techniques for living or coping up with those issues that can 't be settled. (Gottman, 2015)

Thank you to my best than. I am very grateful for all the hard work and effort that you have put in over the last few weeks. I've known you for ten years now, and despite my concerns regarding what you would plan for my stag do and your speech, you have been, and will continue to be a great friend. And so that brings me to my wife - my best friend. She is beautiful, she is intelligent, she is hard working, she is... what does that say? I'm having a little difficulty reading your handwriting. No, but on a more serious note, thank you for marrying me and making me the happiest man in the world. I am often wrong, but in marrying her, I know I have made the right

Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. On behalf of the bridesmaids, I must thank Donald for his kind words. I must also thank all of you for coming today - I know how hard it is to get a day release.

"So excited to share this news that we are now engaged. From both of us, thank you all for the countless well-wishes we've received during the courtship. We are so excited to take this next step in spending our lives together. We are so grateful for how the Lord has brought us together. It has been an incredible journey so far and we are excited about serving Christ together in the coming days."

However I?d like to add to this by saying what a great job you have done getting BRIDES NAME through today and I think everyone will agree you ALL/BOTH look beautiful.

Marriage requires effort and work. Many newlyweds come into a marriage thinking it is easy but do not consider the consequences of marriage that heavily rely on balances and partnership. Marriage is all about compromise. It is important to engage in a premarital program to allow both partners to learn what to expect within a marriage, how to face certain roadblocks, and to better communication when conflict is aroused so that divorce does not become an option. Gottman’s research (2009) has made a significant contribution to the study of relationship and marriage tying unity, harmony, and communication together to make relationship and marriage work. When a couple who does not have consummate love (intimacy, passion, and commitment), they often portray the six indicators of divorce: harsh startup, the Four Horsemen, flooding, body language, failed repair attempts and reflecting on bad memories (Gottman, 2009). Divorce often occurs within the first two years of marriages and almost half of divorces end within the first seven years (Bhutto-Ramirez, 2015).

Aside from all of the marital bliss, it is reported that the first two years of marriage can be very challenging I that all of the romance and courtships fades and couples are more inclined to notice the decline in marital quality (Wilson et all,. 2014). Not only does the first few years the stage and build the foundation for a life conflict resolution styles are formed, and hobbits or behaviors develop that could have a positive or negative implication on the marriage (Huston, 2001). Karnay, 2010 suggested that many newly wedded couples lack the ability to effectively resolve problem within the first few years of marriage.

Firstly, on behalf of the bridesmaids, I'd like to thank Mike for his kind words and reiterate how wonderful they look and what a fantastic job they have done today. I would also like to say that Sallie looks stunning - as I'm sure you'll all agree. Which really isn't that much of a surprise given we are related.

I was a pleasure to see you and Jen at the wedding over the past weekend.

Ladies and Gentlemen I am delighted to welcome you here tonight to celebrate the Marriage of Polly and Justin. I know that many of you have travelled many thousands of Kilometres to be here with us, and I welcome you and thank you for being here. I know Polly and Justin greatly appreciate your presence and your sacrifice.

Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen. On behalf of the bridesmaids, I would like to thank Scott for his kind words. For once in my life, I find myself agreeing with him - they look stunning and did an excellent job today.

     As with any marriage, problems will obviously occur, and the manner in which these problems are handled will most often affect the happiness of the couple. Another major issue of dicussion is the amount of time a couple spends with each other, as well as the quality of the interaction, and lastly, the issue of similarity will be addressed. In order for a marriage to succeed, the communication patterns of the couple must be similar and compatible if there is to be any agreement between the spouses.

What 's the secret to marriages that last despite the annoying or frustrating habits of their partner? How do they make it through the negative times when one is being a little less than perfect? They focus on the positive and not the negative. They don 't dwell on what the other person does wrong. They don 't dwell on the bad times in the relationship. And, during tough days, they find a positive to focus on to help them avoid saying or doing something that could start an argument in the relationship.
