However, you should remember that the ones that are there with you are your friends and relatives, they are people who know you, so do not have to be afraid talking with them. No one will criticize you because you are not the best orator, and people usually listen with pleasure and indulgences, whatever you have to say, because after all the things you say are more important than the way you say it. Use the time to express your feelings about this special occasion.
If you have enough time to hold your speech do not concentrate all your efforts and attention on your bride or on the bridal couple, if the case, say something about the guests and do not forget to thank them for being there with you on this important day. Speak clearly and simple, smile while you are speaking and look the ones that you are speaking with in their eyes. Do not let your emotions overcome you and make sure that you have said everything you wanted and that you made yourself understood. What you say in your speech is your choice. Do not think that some elements have to be contained and some should not under any circumstances. The fact is that you have to be as creative and original as possible and this is after all the main thing your guests are going to appreciate. If you feel a little confident introduce something funny in your speech and seeing everybody laugh will be a very relaxing element that will make your job so much easier.
i don’t know who invented this speech tradition, but I hate it. i turn all red, i stumble over the words, i will make a full of myself. Since I am the only closest friend and almost a relative of the bride, she asked me too to deliver a speech, together with the best man. I will have to meet the best man pretty soon and hopefully he will know everything there is to know about speeches, but i thought I had to have some clue about it myself. I think that your article made me have a clue about what speeches are, but I am still not that confident I could do it. I keep my finger crossed and your words in my min and I hope for the better.
