Sentimental Wedding Speech from the Father of the Bride
This speech uses quotes that are skillfully woven into his more personal message, which is a good way of adding humor and providing the speaker with material that is neither offensive or dull. He also includes several jokes that are popular in wedding speeches, but has given his own twist on them to add originality
Ladies and gentlemen, may I start my speech by welcoming the guests. Today, we are surrounded by most of the friends and family that have been important to us during our lives. Some have traveled thousands of miles, just to be here today. We welcome you all and thank you sincerely for sharing this special day with us.
As about half of you will know, this is my

By now, you must be wondering what on earth you have in yourself in for. I want you to know that my wife and I took to you instantly. You are a kind and considerate man who deserves a good wife. Thank goodness you married (the bride) before you found one.
I am only kidding, of course. There is nothing in the world to match the thrill of seeing your first child born. She was a beautiful baby. She still is beautiful - in every sense of the word - and she has continued to fill our lives with happiness and pride.
Everyone knows that she is a rolling stone and couldn't wait to leave home and find new adventures at university. Since then she has made many firm friends, some of whom are decidedly odd, but I'll say no more about that because most of the odd ones seem to be here today.
Now where was I. I expect you may have noticed that the groom's getting on a bit —a few gray hairs already—so it's obviously taken him some time to find his Miss Right. In fact, his best man tells me he once sent his picture off to a Lonely Hearts Club. Apparentlt they sent it back, with a note saying they weren't that lonely.
The groom is a rugby player, or so I am told. I took time to ask some of his mates how good he was and where was his best position. To cut a long story short, he seems to be terrible in every position! I’m sure there's a joke there somewhere, but never mind.
The bride and groom are extremely well suited, aren't they? They're happy and they love each
Good evening everyone. Hope you are all having a great time. I will try to keep this brief as I am eagerly anticipating that part of the night when the best man humiliates the groom.
By all accounts we are lucky that the groom is here today. I have it on good authority that when he
When I look at the bride and groom, I feel such a kaleidoscope of emotions. I know that Kari has found her true match and I know that theirs will be a marriage of long standing. My heart is bursting with love for you two today. I know you have a wonderful adventure ahead of you, and with God?s blessing your marriage will last for decades to come.
Good evening Ladies and Gentlemen - I would like to start by thanking Frank on behalf of the bridesmaids for his kind comments and echo the fact that they look wonderful and performed their role fantastically well, despite the inevitable and healthy rivalry that can sometimes occur. In fact, just before the service I overheard a furious sisterly argument about who was going to be first to dance with the best man. Understandable, I thought - until I got closer and heard them saying, 'You!', 'no, you!'
Good evening. I would like to begin by welcoming each and every one of you to this joyous and stressful occasion.
Good evening Ladies and Gentlemen - I am the groom's father, Ken, and I have the great privilege of being best man. I have recently found out there are two reasons why J W asked me to do this job. 1) To make him look younger and slimmer in the photos. 2) Because he didn't want to burden any of his friends with the terrible prospect of having to give this speech.
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.
Following the ceremony, the guests enjoyed a reception at Ava’s Place filled with love and laughter while dancing the night away. The bride’s three-tiered cake was created by Wendy Burns Weeks, while the southern-inspired groom’s cake was made by Vicky Stanfield. Mollie Holland captured the bride’s vision throughout the entire floral design. The bride and groom would like to specifically thank their parents along with Pam Elrod, Stacy Hughes, Leah Renea Hunter, and Leah
Here is the post that James Kennedy made that has everyone talking. It is very obvious that his girlfriend is in a wedding dress, but nobody knows what that means. She looks amazing, too.
I think you would agree that at least so far the wedding has been beautifully planned, even down to getting an extra hour in bed tonight
Here's to the groom she'll wed, May all their troubles be light as bubbles Or the feathers that make up their bed! Anonymous To the bride from her groom "Drink to me only with thine eyes, And I will pledge with mine;
So, he set out on another journey. He went an entire year asking every woman he found what she wanted most, only to hear a different answer from each and every woman. Finally, his year was coming to an end and he began his way home. On the way he met an old woman, this woman told him that she would tell him the secret to what women want, if he promised to do whatever she asks of him first. He agreed. She told him that all a woman wants is to be in complete and total control over her marriage and love affairs. The man then went back to the Queen and her court of women and told them what he had learned. No one disagreed with what he said, so the queen spared his life. The Old Woman then stood up and said now you have to do what I ask you to. So, will you marry me? The man broke down yelling no, anything but that. However, he had to do it anyway. On their wedding night, he ignored her and treated her very coldly. When she asked why, he told her what do you expect you are old and ugly. She continued to tell him that being old and ugly is a sign of chastity and cleanliness; while, being young and attractive is a sign of promiscuity and dirtiness. She told him that he had to choose which one of the two he wanted. He told her that it did not matter, and it was all up to her; therefore, giving her control over the situation. In reward, the next morning when they
After two years of serious dating, my boyfriend, Marcus Crane, finally popped the question. You know, the question, and I promptly accepted his proposal of marriage. It happened three months ago during dinner at our favorite restaurant, Luigi's, located in downtown Baltimore. Although I had been impatiently waiting for that moment, I must admit, he took me by surprise when, in front of all in attendance, he got down on bended knee and asked me to marry him, slipping a sparkling two-carat diamond ring on my finger.
I knew the groom-to-be, but I didn’t know his fiancé very well. I thought her name was Missy. Missy sounded familiar, so that is the name I put on the card. To Paul and Missy.
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.
