The Order of the Wedding Speeches

Have you ever attended a wedding reception where the wedding ceremony speeches were a disaster? That the speakers were not ready and the order of the speeches were out of sync? That would be an awful sight and mammoth embarrassment not only for the newlyweds but with their relations and friends alike!

The embarrassment could be easily avoided by getting an alert and trained emcee. Not necessarily a specialist but somebody who will enforce some kind of order during the reception. One more reason in the success of a wedding ceremony would be having the traditional order of wedding speeches given.

Traditionally, the father of the bride gives the initial speech to welcome and give thanks to everyone in the wedding reception. He then talks about his daughter; about his wonderful memories and her comings and goings, etc. And publicly welcomes the groom as a latest member of the family and presents the first toast for the newlyweds.

The groom customarily delivers the second speech; thanking the bride's mother and father, his own parents, those involved in the wedding and reception, and proposes a toast to the bridesmaids.

Generally the best man speech is third and followed by the bridesmaid. When all speeches are given, a toast to the newlyweds by other relatives and friends. Normally a toast is about a minute each.

To have a successful wedding reception certain rules and order must be observed. Have a experienced mc to control the time per speech and call upon the prospective speakers in the accepted order.

Marriage Advice
Jane Wells

Let your love be stronger than your hate and anger.
Learn the wisdom of compromise,
for it is better to bend a little than to break.
Believe the best rather than the worst.
People have a way of living up or down
to your opinion of them.
Remember that true friendship
is the basis for any lasting relationship.
The person you choose to marry
is deserving of the courtesies
and kindnesses you bestow on your friends.
Please hand this down to your children and
your children's children.


These I Can Promise
Author Unknown

I cannot promise you a life of sunshine;
I cannot promise riches, wealth, or gold;
I cannot promise you an easy pathway
That leads away from change or growing old.
But I can promise all my heart's devotion;
A smile to chase away your tears of sorrow;
A love that's ever true and ever growing;
A hand to hold in yours through each tomorrow.


From This Day Forward
Author Unknown

From this day forward,
You shall not walk alone.
My heart will be your shelter,
And my arms will be your home.


A Prayer
St. Francis of Assisi

Lord, make us instruments of your peace.
Where there is hatred, let us sow love;
Where there is injury, pardon;
Where there is discord, union;
Where there is doubt, faith;
Where there is despair, hope;
Where there is darkness, light;
Where there is sadness, joy;

O Divine Master, Grant that we may not so much seek
To be consoled as to console,
To be understood as to understand,
To be loved as to love.

For it is in giving that we receive;
It is in pardoning that we are pardoned;
And it is in dying that we are born to eternal life.

Amen
