1. Make It Yours
The groom speech is an opportunity to talk declare your love to your future wife in the public and what this happy moment means to you. That in mind…this is YOUR speech and you have to write it in your own way and in your own style. It cannot be someone else’s speech. Although there are help around whether in the form of advice or guidebooks, the final piece must sound like it is from your heart. I feel that for some, that could be the most difficult part of the speech to get right. But you must.
2. Think Of Your Audience
The purpose of a groom speech (or any speech for that matter) is to convey your thoughts and feelings to your audience. In this case, one of the key listeners will be your bride and your own family. Try then to design your the speech in a way that honors them and show how much you love and care for them. This will drive your inspiration to write a memorable groom speech.
3. Know Where You Are Going
Start your preparation of your grooms speech by having an outline in order to map out where the speech is going and how it is going to end. This will help organise your thoughts as well. You can try writing it out in a note form for easy reference. By doing so, you can keep on the topic and also be able to deliver the speech in a smooth way. There is no need to memorize the groom speech; that just add pressure on yourself. Just make notes to help jolt your memory and make the speech unique to yourself.
4. KISS
Keep It Short & Sweet. 3-5 minutes is ideal. Even if you are a good speaker and do feel comfortable speaking in front of an audience, do not be tempted to go beyond 5 minutes in your grooms speech. There are others also that are waiting for their turn. Respect the timing. You should be able to condense all you want to say in that period of 5 minutes. Practise often to see how it goes as far as timing is concerned. The audience will appreciate a short, concise and memorable grooms speech.
5. Thank Yous
A large part of the grooms speech is taken by the thank you list and this must not be negelected. You must thank everyone that have help plan the wedding. A great groom wedding speech must acknowledge all those that have assisted in making the wedding ceremony a reality.
6. Check Notes
This has to prepared beforehand. Confer with those that will be giving their speeches too on that day; be it the father of your brise, the best man or the bride herself to make sure that there are no repetition in the wedding speeches. This is to prevent any awkward moments. Your groom speech must convey your own special words that will give a unique feeling to it.
7. Use Jokes Carefully
May not be for everyone as it really depends on you as a person. If you want to include jokes into your groom speech, keep them simple and easy. Keep them natural too.
