groom speeches help write down 300x224 Groom Speeches BrainstormDo you know what was the first thing that almost make me run to the hills in my preparation of the groom speeches?

Here I am….I am not a very expressive person (some call me conservative).  For a long long time, I had much difficulty expressing what I feel to my fiance. But now, in front of my wedding guests, friends and relatives (about 80 are expected to turn up!!) I am expected to express my love and devotion to my bride.  Initially, even thinking about it gave me the shivers.

I am not saying that all of you is like me.  But I can also safely say that there are those who feel the same way when they start to think about this preparation of the grooms speech.  Maybe you are one of them?

I had some useful advice that help me to get over my initial nerves about the whole matter….BRAINSTORM!

It allows me to at least put things on paper the things that I may want to talk about; also things that may be more comfortable to me.

First thing to brainstorm the speech ideas revolve around how you met your wife. Was there anything unusual about the meeting?  What was the setting like? A business meeting? A dance? Were you introduce by any mutual friends?  How did this relationship develop?  You may want to even share some things from your 1st date.

Related to the first, what was your first impression of your bride?  Is it any different now that you have been able to get to know her better over the courting period?

Another way of brainstorming groom speech ideas is to reflect on all the positive characteristics that attracted you to the bride. List down 10-20 of these charaterictics. Then pick the top 2-3 that you can mention and elaborate in your grooms speech.  One tip is to make sure that you pick the qualities that are different.  Also, do not focus only on the outward beauty.  Of course there is a place for it in your grooms speech.  Just make sure that is not the ONLY good quality that you see in your bride.

The easiest way that I find to express these characteristics is to use stories ….real examples that show up these qualities.  These real life experiences will surely make you speech more alive and more interesting. It enables your listeners to have a glimpse of “behind the scenes”.

Doing this brainstorm early in my preparation of the groom speeches enables me to feel less nervous about the whole thing.

Hope you find this advice helpful.
