They say hindsight is a wonderful thing, but I guess I never really knew just how important groom wedding speeches were until my fiancé and I began obsessively planning the ‘BIG’ day! If the truth be known, I just kept putting it off until a week before the wedding, when I finally woke up and realised that grooms speeches were unavoidable. I started to panic big time.
The moral to this story? Don’t do what I did and make the same mistakes. Plan ahead if you can!
When you start out with your grooms speech, the task ahead may appear insurmountable. There are so many other wedding issues to deal with, like the ceremony and vows that it is difficult to find the time to write an effective wedding speech let alone consider standing up in front of a audience and giving the performance of your life!

As my wedding date got nearer and nearer, I considered all the angles for a funny, motivational and charming groom speech but it just wasn’t happening. Eventually, I realised I should start jotting down notes as thoughts came to me.
I now know there are better ways to write a better groom speech or groom toasts but this was at least a start.
It was then that I began to consider other solutions like speech guides and prompts to structure the speech as a story, jotting down information on me and my bride. You know the sort of things like where and when we met and how our romance blossomed etc. It really did help put our relationship into context and lay the foundations for a future together.
If I gave you some advice at this stage it would be not to worry too much about the content of your groom speech, especially groom speech jokes. The best thing to do is make a start, any kind of start well in advance of the wedding. Just begin with the notes and you will soon find yourself on the path to the perfect groom speech.
