How to Write a Funny Wedding Speech
Marc Blakewill from All Write On The Night recommends: "When choosing a funny marriage quote, try to make it as pertinent to the couple's interests or backstory and it will have the most impact."
If you've been chosen to make a wedding speech it's likely you know the subject quite well, but it's a good idea to chat to members of the wedding party prior to speech writing so you have any information you might not be aware of - the funniest quotes can come from anecdotes!
When it comes to structuring a funny wedding speech, Marc says, "Think of the main part of the speech as the cake and the quotation as the cherry on top.
"You might wish to use a funny quotation for each main section e.g. any drinking stories in a best man’s speech could be introduced with Homer Simpson’s classic line: 'Alcohol: the cause and solution to all of life’s problems.' Funny quotations can also work really well near the end. You’ve already told stories about the bride or groom so the quotation can refer backwards."
Are the couple major movie buffs? "Lines from a film or TV show can work a treat, especially if you’ve already established that they’re, for example, a massive Ben Stiller or Friends fan," suggests Marc.
Marc also suggests, "Instead of ending with a line the guests might have heard before, why not use some lyrics from their favourite pop band? It can be heartfelt and get a laugh because you’re not quoting Keats or Shakespeare but Taylor Swift or Gary Barlow."
