Wedding Speeches

Dear Hitched.co.uk, Thanks very much for the very useful site. The speeches I read really helped make mine up so I send you mine to add to the list. It was on 29th July 2001. Kind regards, Zander Conway

Dear Hitched Your web-site was absolutely brilliant in providing me with material for my speech. I went through the example speeches and took out the parts I wanted so you will probably have seen most of it before! The difficult part was that I had been asked to give my sister-in-law away as her father had passed away 10 weeks before the wedding. Fortunately I came across the forums and found one related to this subject. I used one of the suggestions as a way of mentioning Alison's father and this must have worked very well as lots of people congratulated me on my speech, saying that the

FATHER OF THE BRIDE SPESCH I HOPE THIS IS SUITABLE PETER STONEBANKS

Thanks to this web site it helped prepare me for my speach on 7/28/2001. I hope this helps others out. PETER

Dear Hitched, What a great stress reliever your site is. Ten days before the wedding, I had the material but no idea how to work it into an amusing, and complimentary speech and all those "How to Books" weren't working for me. Then someone pointed out your site and I was away. I scanned through nearly all the Best man speeches to see the general layout of things and then picked out the best openings lines, closing lines and jokes, wrapping up my stories in-between. My advice to others. Once you have your speech, let someone else not connected with the wedding read it. Then read it

Gave this peech yesterday and it went down well. Just thought I'd share it with you. Luke Ingerson

Here's my speech from Sat 28th July and please feel free to share it. Thanks to all at hitched, especially the example speeches. They proved to be a real life-saver. Although I'd seen other people's comments on the site, nothing had prepared me for how well this speech would be received. What a buzz. Rgds, Martin Poole

I did the attached speech just a couple of days ago for my best mate Sambo and I have to say it went down a storm! I found that taking the mickey out of the groom was a surefire way to get laughs-and luckily it worked. Cheers, Big Al.

Best man's speech I gave on 21/7/2001

I can't tell you how this site helped me! I printed out every single speech and in my opinion took the best from each one - there's hardly anything original here. Literally everyone came to acknowledge how good it was - there was a queue of people when I'd finished and all night people wanted to talk to me about it. Too many to put it down to good manners - at least that's what I'm saying! My speech was delivered alcohol-free which was hard. Perhaps a couple of drinks beforehand would make you feel better. Also - if you use the sneezing gag, make sure you use your Mum's fancy bra rath

Thanyou, Thankyou, this site was a Godsend! My speech went down a storm. I was basking in a warm glow of pride for days after. Thanks for the advice about rehearsing it really helped too! Adrian Davis

Hi, thanks to your site I was able to put together a great speech. May be others can use it as a sample. Chris

Hi Thought you may want to include this speech on your site. If it can help anybody else all the better. I found the site a great help, and as you will see, I used some of the lines from the example speeches. The day went really well, and although I very nervous, it went really well and got a good few laughs. The five pints of lager beforehand probably helped too! Thanks David Bradshaw

Thanks guys you helped me out so hope this might help someone else. Fergus MacDougall
