The Question<\/h2>\n

Do you have any suggestions on how to give a great son of the groom speech?<\/h2>\n

\u201c<\/i><\/b>Hi there, I am 23 and my father is having his second marriage at the beginning of next month and has said that I am more than welcome to give a short speech if I wish.<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

I would love to do this but have no idea what to say having not been to any weddings since childhood and certainly having never given a speech! The wedding is fairly informal and I believe that I am not the only other speaker in addition to the traditional father of the bride, groom, best man etc. I am also reading a sonnet in the ceremony. Any suggestions or ideas with regards the speech would be gratefully received!<\/i><\/b>\u201d <\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

Our Answer<\/h2>\n

The best way to go is to speak from the heart.<\/b> Your words are going to be the best way to convey how you feel and it\u2019ll mean even more to your father and new stepmother as well.<\/p>\n

Mention your relationship with your father, perhaps a bit about his relationship with his bride, and your wishes for them in the future. In the meantime, check out our quick tips and ideas below as well!<\/p>\n
