Wedding Toast Speech
A wedding toast speech is traditionally given by a number of guests at a wedding.
It is traditional for the groom to make a wedding toast speech in which he thanks everyone for attending the wedding celebration and it is this speech which represents his first opportunity to speak on behalf of his new wife.
A wedding toast speech is given by the bride's father. Dad will share fond memories he has of his girl growing up. It will be an emotional time for him having 'given away' his cherished daughter and it is this wedding toast speech that is most likely to cause tears amongst the guests.
The wedding toast speech most eagerly anticipated by guests is usually that made by the best man. The best man is usually the comedian amongst the wedding toast speech givers. The best man will give the guests some insight into the life and ways of the groom - sometimes insights that the groom may have preferred to keep to himself.
More and more brides are getting involved in the business of giving a wedding toast speech. In these days of sexual equality - many brides prefer to speak for themselves!
Traditions regarding the wedding toast speech customs vary from culture to culture but one thing they all undoubtedly have in common is to express good wishes for the health and happiness of the bride and groom. The other main function of a wedding toast speech is to offer thanks to everyone who played a part in making the wedding possible.
A great wedding toast speech is heartfelt, sometimes amusing, but always sincere.
