Early Planning Makes A Difference In Your Groom Speeches
‘What is so difficult? You just need to thank all those that have played a part in the wedding’….that is what I initially thought on what groom speeches should contain.
I was dead wrong…pun intended.
Failing to Plan is the key to Planning to Fail…it almost happen to me in the matter of planning for the groom speech.
When the wedding preparation got underway, I was already aware that I need to deliver a grooms speech during the wedding ceremony. I have seen and heard how a groom wedding speech is done (I have been to at least 4 weddings so far). I did actually feel that it will not be a big deal.
The wedding speech played at the back of my mind for a little while and to be honest, I actually forgot about it until I was reminded by my best man!! At that time, it was merely 2 weeks before the wedding proper.
It was when I started to wrap my mind around the actual things that I want to share with the wedding audience that I realise that it was a bigger task than I had initially thought.
The first thing I did was to write down EVERYTHING that I could think of that I may want to say in my groom speech. This included things related to how I first met Crystal and also the things that we plan to do together. At the end of it, I had more than enough materials. What next? Well, it is to put them all into the right context. Question is how am I suppose to do that? I will share that with you in my next writing.
In conlusion, please start planning early for your grooms speech. I am assuming that most of you who are reading these words are going to get married soon….also in the same process that I have been before.
Jotting down all the notes is the 1st step towards getting memorable groom speeches done. At this point, there is no need to worry about the structure or the sequence of the wedding speech. That will come later.
