With just over a week to go to my wedding day, i am yet to start the speech! (many reasons for this, some are good, some not so good).

What makes a good/great groom wedding speech?!

Any worth while sites to check out?

All advice welcome!

Groom speech is easy. Start with "My wife and I..." to which everyone claps. Then it's a set list of people to thank/give flowers to etc. Easy google. You've already done your bit of the entertainment at the front of the church so leave the pressure to be funny on the best man. That's his job.

no-one is that interested in what the groom or the father of the bride have to say as they will all be waiting to heckle the best man. Do the my wife and I thing, thanks you new inlaws (think it was the last time I smiled at mine!), compliment the bridesmaids and say how lovely the wife is and you are all done!

Do what I did, inadvertantly thanked myself for coming instead of thanking the bestman who had flown over from the USA. It bought the house down :)

I wrote my Grooms speech on the day, on the loo!

As others have said, no-one is that bothered by what you have to say as long as you remember to say how gorgeous your new wife is etc etc....

It's also probably best NOT to have a whip round for your father in law during your speech.........

You can't go wrong with all the advice you have got so far Kirk! As most have said it's the simplest of the lot, although it may well still be twitchy bum time!

I've got loads of templates if you want me to send them to you. Just let me know and i'll email them across

Do NOT do what my husband did, by not "believing how well the bridesmaids had scrubbed up"
