Wedding speeches have been a par and parcel of our culture since time immemorial and as far as we all remember. Everyone we know surely has wedding speeches said on their wedding days and other people of a far bygone time also do remember having speeches said in their weddings.
So, wedding speeches are an intricate part of our wedding culture. They form a very special part of the whole ritual of a wedding and although some of them have been forgotten the instant they were spoken, there are definitely others which have become quotable quotes at weddings and many people actually quote from those wedding speeches to enrich their own wedding speeches.
However, giving a wedding speech is not that easy, much less giving one which is exemplary. At the thought of giving a wedding speech people start to feel clammy and sweat. However it is not even that difficult a task that men and women alike have to behave like this. Now basically what happens is that the first speech is of that of the father of the bride and then comes the grooms’ speech as a response and thank you to him.
Now, the tips of the century is that if you find your father-in-law getting all mushy and crying eyes over his daughters wedding, then you can do best to keep the situation under control and remove him from the podium as soon as possible. The reason I am saying this is, your bride might get highly upset by seeing this and as a result your first night with her really would be a big waste.
The other good tip is that, try to conform to the tradition of the speech as has been coming down from centuries ahead. However, that does not mean that you confirm strictly but so that you keep within its bounds and not make it sound decorative and highly artificial. Your speech should be ideally highly extolled one, one which people will talk afterwards and therefore be yourself when you speak. No needs for superfluous decoration just say it from your heart. Sometimes a honest speech can go a long way.

Groom wedding speeches are usually the biggest problem for most men who are going to get married. Actually men are not that expressive abut what they feel and how they feel. Many a times they are more prone to keeping everything inside themselves and not expressing anything because it is better not said than going into the whole trouble of saying it.
A man telling a woman that he loves her turns out to be a difficult task just for this reason and here we are talking about a speech that this man has to deliver and that too on the most important day of his life. obviously every one wants their wedding day to be perfect, a dream come true fairy story and therefore there is all the more anxiousness about the grooms wedding speech.
Now for all the prospective grooms out there who are just about shaking to death at the thought of the speech, do not be afraid. We are here to help you out and therefore we will provide you with a variety of templates that you can use to structure your speech around.
For example there is the formal approach which is really the best of all in a situation where you really do no have a clue of what other people would be saying in their speech and where you just want to be polite and come out triumphant. What you do here is just about thank everybody for their toasts and then thank the father of the bride for letting you have his daughter. Then you move into thanking the parents of the bride for providing the wedding ceremony and all the food and dancing and say how you are extremely overjoyed to come into their family.
Then you practically continue in this strain, praising your in laws in this vein on how well your wife has been brought up and etc. next you come to thanking the guests and everyone else who helped make this wedding a success. Basically this is all about thanking people and after you have thanked possibly everyone you are over and done and can heave a sigh of relief.
Now, other than this there are the non formal approaches and the light hearted breaking of the ice where either you are on such good terms with the family that it hardly matters what you say or you are on such bad terms with them that there is a need to break the ice. Both of these are extreme cases but the safer is the formal bridegroom wedding speech.
