Groom Speech Examples

The groom often gets a good roasting from the best man, so the groom’s speech is a chance to get in a few jokes of his own! As well as thanking the wedding party and both sets of parents, what all the guests are waiting for are some romantic and heartfelt words about his new spouse. You’ll find plenty of example groom speeches to help inspire you when the time comes to write yours, plus jokes and delivery tips.

This was a modest wedding. We liked it that way. The speech felt a little bit formal for a fairly intimate gathering of around 50 people but overall it went down well. Nobody was offended and it was a priviledge to be able to get away with some cheap gags.

Our wedding was in Nelson, New Zealand and we had a wonderful day. My brother Luke (the best man) made a couple of gentle jokes about what a nerd I was - this speech really confirmed it! But it also went down really well. MS Excel calculates numbers of days just by subtracting one cell from another so I was able to produce accurate numbers with very little work.

Hey there - I borrowed lots of quotes from this site and some general internet quote sites also. It went okay although in hindsight I could have been sooooo much funnier!  I got heckled by a 2 year old and wish I'd said 'tough crowd' instead I just asked if he was okay and if he needed anymore cake.... slightly lame but it got a laugh. (probably sympathy but I'll take it). If I ever make another speech I'll definately prepare for some interruptions better.  I tried to format it so that it made sense chronologically. So thanks to the father of the bride for my wife being around, little bit abou

This web-site was a great help in getting the final structure of my speech together.  I DID steal some material from the good examples on this site but like to think that I added a few bits and pieces of my own to make it mine.   Thanks to the site and everyone who did add their speech to the site to help all future Grooms.   Cheers   Vinnie

I found this site so helpfully at the time; so I thought I'd add my speech just incase it may help others like those on here that helped me.

Everyone said the speech was enjoyable, i think the wedding present for my wife helped alot. My advise is copy and paste loads of speeches then take what it is similar to your circumstances and tweak it to your situation. Dont leave it till the last moment. Once I got started I really enjoyed writing the speech and even looked forward to presenting it good luck.
