I was very nervous but as soon as my first Joke was met with a roar of laughter my confidence soared. My speech went down brilliantly and loads of people came up to me after and told me how much they enjoyed it. The best advice I can offer is to talk really slowly, much slower than you normally would and when you pause in your speech look around the room and engage everyone in the room. I have learnt so much from reading everything on this site and felt I should give something back and if it helps just one future father of the bride in anyway I will be a very happy man.

I timed this to be about 10 minutes - possibly this could be considered a long speech, however as a performer I know that sometimes you only get one shot at making your mark and when you do, you milk it!  I only used the one gag from here actually as I wanted to keep it as personal as possible, but the speeches I did read gave me great examples and hope that I too could do a good job.

Start writing your speech a month in advance and practice, practice. practice. Practice your speech standing up, even walking round your room if it helps When you read your speech on the big day stand tall, talk with authority and if people can see you're enjoying yourself they will relax and enjoy your speech with you Dont deviate and ad lib, its hardwork even for professional speakers to get back on track.... good luck ...

Mine takes into account the bride and groom had already lived together for 6 years and had two children.      I can only underline the advice given on this site to prepare your speech well in advance and to read it out aloud  numerous times so that, God forbid, should your script go missing on the day you could make a reasonably good job without it. This helps you to deliver most of your speech looking directly at those p

I was very nervours about making my speech, like most. However to those about to stand and speak, my advice is to practice and practice more, read alowed it to any one prepared to listen. be happy with your speech. I did all these but was still nervous, that was untill i was introduced and started. then it was fine. I enjoyed making my speech on the day, preparation and practice is the key. Many thanks to the people who uploaded their speeches, they helped me greatly.
