The scariest experience of my life has been always when I have been asked to make wedding speeches. Although, I am not shy and neither am I an introvert and being a salesman by profession I am used to giving presentation and addressing large gatherings, yet when asked to be the Best Man at my friends wedding my entire self confidence touched an all time low.
In reality, it was an important day in his life. My entire wedding speech would be remembered by him, his just wedded wife and a host of guest for eternity. Added to that, my speech traditionally would follow the speeches made by the Father of the Bride the Groom and the Maid of Honour now that most certainly stays as a lasting impression.
This incident left me to ponder of how to frame a wedding speech. Following are a few suggestions that might help you in similar situations.
- Asking the Groom regarding what he would like you to say may not be of any assistance, as he himself might not be able to frame together as in what to say. What might be fruitful is asking him what not to say. Here your friend would certainly be in a position to help. This exercise will most definitely spare any unintended awkward situation.
- Make a note of certain important points. Your connection with the Groom. How did you meet up, how long ago, why you are companions, why did he ask you of all people to be the Best Man.? How is this marriage going to change your relationship with the Groom?
- Just in case you know the bride as well then you may use the same set of rules while describing your relation with her.
- After you are ready with your points, you can then form an outline of the points and make a proper speech from it.
As soon as you have all this on paper, practise it. It is not essential that you have to remember it word to word. On the contrary, your speech should sound like an impromptu and not something that you have worked on laboriously.
Remember to have a light snack 15 minutes before delivering the speech. This will calm your nerves and assist in delivering the speech smoothly. Avoid the Champagne as much as possible.
Traditionally, you have to raise a toast to the parents of the Bride and the Groom after you have finished your speech. It is always a good idea to be aware of their names.
Now, all this does sound easy. Doesn't it? Well if you have no less than a month before the D-Day you will be able to do a wonderful job. But just in case you have shortages of time then do not avoid the Champagne. Go all out on it, at least you will have an alibi for your disastrous performance.
