They say hindsight is a wonderful thing, but I guess I never really knew just how important groom speeches were until my fiancé and I began obsessively planning the ‘BIG’ day! The truth is that I left it for weeks and weeks before I even realised that I was going to have to get down to it and actually write the thing.

The moral to this story? Don’t make the same mistake I did. Give yourself plenty of time and don’t sweat it!

When you start out with your groom wedding speech, the task ahead may appear insurmountable. After all, there is already so much going into standing up in front of everyone and saying those vows, standing up again and making a speech is pretty nerve-wracking!

As the date got closer and closer I tried to think of an inspirational, yet charming and hilarious groom’s wedding speech and it just wasn’t coming to me. So what I eventually decided to do was to sit down and just write some of the thoughts that popped into my head.

Now, believe me when I say that there are more efficient ways to plan a groom wedding toast, but this was great for kick starting my ideas.

At first it was difficult, but when I started using speech prompts and guides I soon started to jot down little bits of information about me and my bride. You know the sort of things like where and when we met and how our romance blossomed etc. It really helped me to put into words the story of our relationship and what we’ve been through to get where we are now.

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.
