How To Write A Father Of The Bride Wedding Speech?????

[Badger]

Lads and lasses,

I have to write a father of the bride wedding speech and basically have no idea what I am doing.

Any ideas?

Badger, the thought occurs that it would be best written by someone who is in fact the father of the bride.

Failing that, the only father of the bride speech I actually remember involved 'helpful' hints for the new husband, learned over years watching the bride grow up.


On that note... boy I hope Dad asks for help when my sister gets hitched.... that'll be a FUN day

Well as the backup to the backup, i'm doing it

I have some advice for young wade but most of it revolves around running and hiding.

except this bit.

"Wade, due to the current economic crisis I thought it be relevant to pass on some words of advice. The most expensive vehicle in the world to operate per km is a shopping trolley operated by Trelawney."

apples and oranges....My Big Fat Greek Wedding..

take gerry's advice. My Big Fat Greek Wedding has some good inspiration for wedding speeches; my uncle wrote his entire speech for his sister's wedding based on that movie. went down well too.

And toast the lovely couple with Windex while you're at it.

Ok my opening statement.

"First off I would like to start with an interesting fact, on this very day 75 years ago the famous Alcatraz prison, Received its first boat load of inmates. Young men were taken away from their families to lead a life of solitary confinement from which there was no escape. They were ruthlessly tortured, humiliated and forced to do their masters bidding. Now I'm sure that Trelawney’s choice of wedding date is purely a co-incidence."
