Generally, there are three main speeches in a wedding reception.
The first is the father’s speech, something that most of us
forget. Secondly will be the bridegroom’s speech, then it comes
to the best man’s speech.
Father’s speech
The brides father should be called upon by
the best man to propose a toast to both the bride and the
bridegroom. But before doing that, relatives and close friends
ar to say a few simple words of the bride. Then the brides
father will appreciate the bride in words and followed by the
toast.
Bridegroom’s speech
The bridegroom will take
the opportunity to thank their parents on the years they were
brought up for the love and care, and also for the blessings
they receive from them.
If there are members in the family or
close friends that are unable to attend your wedding, you should
mention them and wish them a speedy recovery. Lastly, appreciate
those great helpers that have help you through the day for a job
well done.
Best man’s speech
It is important that the
best man’s speech to be light hearted and fun. It is suppose to
be the most interesting part in the whole event with humour and
stories to tell. Here is an example:
“I am honoured to be
the best man. I like to thank John for his kind words.
John was born in the year of great human achievements, first man
on the moon, the first concorde to be flown, and thus influence
John to be an astronaut, though he did not make it due to no
rockets in Singapore. And his hero, the six million dollar man.
And so he became a pilot, not too far from being an astronaut.
John was a success in everything he did. But is he all such a
goodie two shoes. During the younger days, John stole the car
keys from his Dad and drove around the street, in the end he
knock the car on to the neighbors gate. Yep, everyone of you in
this ballroom would probably think that he is such an
irresponsible kid, but that was just a BMX bicycle.”
Something like that will cheer the audience up and follow by
some games they have planned.
