Groom Speeches | Are You The Only One Delivering The Grooms Speech?

Are You The Only One Delivering The Grooms Speech?

One of the earliest lesson I picked up in my quest of preparing the groom speeches is to answer the question above first and foremost.

There is no fix format as far as the wedding speeches are concerned.  There can be other people that can be assigned to give their speeches…for example your bride, the bride’s father, your best man and so on.

It must be decided early if youe bride-to-be will be delivering the bride speech as well.  Deciding whether one of both will be making a wedding speech is of your own choice.  Either way, it is best to discuss the matter and better still is to sit down together and list down all the topics that both of you want to share with the wedding guests.

My wife-to-be wanted to personally give thanks to some of her own close friends…so in my case, we also have a bride speech.

Once the list of topics is finalised and if both of you decided that each will be giving a wedding speech, then you have 2 ways to go about ’splitting’ the topics.

One is for each of you to take different topics.  This will ensure that there will be no repetition of the same topics.  Also, since the topics are ‘equally’ divided, the length of the wedding speech should also be similar or close.

The other alternative is for both of you cover the same topics but each in your own angle.  This is a bit trickier but if down well, can be very rewarding as they sound so wonderful.

In conclusion, one of the main reason why there is a need to discuss and agree on this matter early in the preparation is to avoid any duplication during the bride and groom speech. The other reason is know what each of you will be presenting. It is not neccessary to see the final product as it will kill the ’surprise’…but what this method will do is to prevent any UNPLEASANT SURPRISES.

Plan and make these decisions early so that both of you have time to prepare your bride and grooms speeches properly.  You may want to check out earlier writings on the importance of planning early HERE.
