Being the father of the bride is an emotional experience.One of the biggest emotions on the day is pride for the woman your daughter has become and the sadness that your little girl is about to embark on her own life journey with her beloved.It is important to make your speech memorable on this special day.
Step 1: Don't have dad-jokes.
The whole room is dying with embarrassment at the disastrous father of the bride speech at that wedding.This is a chance for you to show your daughter how proud you are of her.Don't distract from it with one liners.
Step 2: Introduce yourself and why you are here to speak.
Half of the room knows who you are, but the other doesn't, so it's good to start a wedding speech with an introduction.
Step 3: The guests came and took their time to celebrate with you, your family and your daughter on her special day.
These guests give gifts from their hearts, not out of a sense of obligation.It is nice to thank people.
Step 4: Let them know about your daughter.
This part should be formal.The time is not right to tell the room about her topless vacation to Mexico or any other embarrassing moments.Tell the room how proud you are of your daughter and how much she means to you.You should express your love for your daughter and your sadness at her no longer being your little girl.
Step 5: Tell them about your son-in-law.
This part should be formal.Half of the room is occupied by his guests and family.If he breaks your daughter's heart, this is not the time to threaten a meeting.When speaking about why you allowed him to marry your daughter, be genuine.
Step 6: You should toast the new couple and wish them all the happiness and love you have ever wanted for your daughter.
Your daughter was the biggest fairytale to you all and remind them that fairy tales do come true.
Step 7: After the honeymoon contact the new couple and thank them for the opportunity to speak with your daughter because she is exactly the way you want her to be.
