Everyone loves to hear a moving speech, but when it comes to giving one, many tend to cringe. However, there is no need to be ashamed as none of us are born with the gift of speaking off the cuff. One of the places where you can’t escape your duty to give a speech is at your own wedding, or your son’s, or daughter’s wedding. For a father, the groom’s speech is not the only one that must be personal, humorous and touching. His speech has to be equally well interspersed with a bit of emotion and with. A little advice for his son and a toast to the newlywed couple are essential elements of a father-groom speech. Putting a few lines on “lessons learned” when phrased correctly can be very moving.

Now the important thing is to jot down a few points that you want to add to your speech. Do some research and take a trip down memory lane. This will help highlight some of the best moments of your child’s childhood and adolescence. Call a few close friends and ask them to pitch in as well. Some touching moments and some humorous will make the perfect combination for your speech. As a father’s boyfriend speech it is that you can take some last minute hints from. For that, though, you’ll need to have a pen handy on the big day and take note of what your child says before going on stage.

Once you have an outline, the next step is to prepare a draft. Your wedding speech should start with a short introduction about yourself. No doubt there will be some guests who don’t know you. Keep it brief and then focus on the body of your speech. The body should contain some notable stories about the newlyweds and about them as individuals. You can do it with a little creativity and express yourself well. Use metaphors, some catchy words, and paint a clear picture. That’s what a good wedding speech is all about. It shouldn’t seem like you’re just saying it because you have to. As a speech of the father’s boyfriend is the one who should give an appropriate response. The body of your speech should contain some friendly advice. However, do not make is a marital speech. The couple will have plenty of time to experience married life as the months and years pass.

The conclusion of your speech is what can have a lasting impact on the audience, including the newlyweds. It can end with a love quote or a funny but meaningful story. A few words of thanks to the guests who graced the occasion, the bride’s family, and the relatives and friends who helped plan the wedding are appropriate at the closing lines of her speech. In closing, she extends her wishes to the couple, as she asks guests to raise their glasses in toasts to a lifetime of love and happiness for the newlyweds. A word of advice, don’t compare a father’s speech with what you have to say. Obviously, your child may have a different perspective on some issues.

Don’t forget to practice your speech so you’ll be brimming with confidence on the big day. No sweaty hands, no dry throat, no pounding heartbeat… all it takes is a little preparation.
