My first idea for my Groom Speech was to do something really funky, a bit way out there. I thought this was the best way to make my Groom Wedding Speech memorable.
This gave me two huge problems. How to be totally different and how to structure the speech itself.
Now you may have had similar ideas yourself especially if you’re getting married in a non traditional way like on a beach or even in a bar (as my friend did)!
The Groom Wedding Speech – Its Real Purpose
After doing a little research with the Groom Wedding Speech examples I realised something very, very important. The idea of the Grooms Wedding Speech is not to steal the limelight with a wacky speech.
I soon realised that my Groom Speech had to be funny, poignant but most of all was going to make sure the attention stayed on the bride. In any wedding, including the wedding speeches the focus of attention should be on the bridegroom.
If your Grooms Speech stays traditional and focuses on the bride you really cannot lose, the bride will be delighted and so will her family and friends, which is half the audience after all!
Having Fun With Your Speech
I followed the advice I got from Groom Wedding Speeches and stayed traditional, thanking the right people at the right time, telling poignant stories about me and the bride, but it also allowed me to put in some fun and personality. So don’t think by following a traditional Grooms Speech format that you won’t have fun. Without a doubt you can still have fun and be original with your Groom Wedding Speech . By following a proven successful path you know you won’t upset anyone and won’t be stuck for things to say.
To make sure all of your wedding speeches are original I suggest you coordinate the best man speech, the father of the groom wedding speech and the bridegroom wedding speech (if the bride decides to speak) to make sure you don’t overlap and tell the same stories.
If some of the stories do overlap it can work really well if the bride’s wedding speech and the Groom Wedding Speech cover the same story but from a different perspective.
In the Groom Wedding Speech you can explain how the Bride was very keen on you from day one, while during the bride’s wedding speech your wife (yep she will be your wife now!) can describe how you chased her for a long time and she was not very keen. If you work hard on these types of Wedding Speeches they can work very well.
Whatever you decide to cover in your Groom Wedding Speech I recommend you stick to a traditional Groom Speech similar to the one’s you can find in Groom Wedding Speech Examples.
Good luck for the big day!
