Groom speech examples are something I never considered until I started to panic in the last few days before the wedding. But even if you are in the same situation as I would – I whole heartedly recommend these as a way of avoiding writers block and ensuring you get everything right for the big day.

What’s In An Example?
The great thing about many groom wedding speech examples is that they are designed to let you fill in the blanks and still create a totally unique wedding speech. I have found they work best by giving example layouts and prompts as follows:
• Who to thank
• Funny stories you can tell
• The feelings of your big day
• Groom wedding speech jokes
• Your bride’s personality
• Ways of getting the audience involved
That was basically the gist of what I found most of the groom speech examples to contain. However, I thought I would include the following as well, as there is a bit more detail to the prompts:
- Start with “On behalf of my wife and I”…
- Thank the guests for joining you on this special day and for their gifts and support
- Thank and compliment your wifes parents
- Thank and cmpliment your own parents
- Thank the Best Man for getting you to the church on time!
- Compliment and thank the bride and publically express your love
- Thank the brides maids and maid of honor. Say what a great job they have done – present gifts
- Before passing over to the bestman propose a toast to the brides maids
Though I had read in many places what successful elements grooms wedding speeches should include, having them there in an ordered layout meant I couldn’t go wrong. Another thing that examples of groom speeches really helped me with was to know how to stick to the point without the guests getting bored. The groom speech is obviously an important part of the day, so you shouldn’t worry about keeping it too short. Then again, don’t ramble on either.
