Writing a father of the groom speech

You do have some idea of what you want to say and probably lost of funny stories to share but how do you turn all of this in to a father of the groom speech?

Most of us aren’t used to giving and writing speeches and have no idea how to setup a good speech.
You’ve probably listened to more bad speeches than you care to remember and you don’t want to be remembered like this on your son’s wedding day.

Some questions you might have are:
• How do I start my father of the groom speech?
• How long does it have to be?
• How do I keep it interesting to listen too?
• What do I do if I forget what to say?
• What wedding etiquette do I have to know?
• How do I NOT make a fool of myself?

Like most things in life if you know what you’re doing half the battle is won so why not get a professional to help you write your speech?

Wedding speech author John Wilson has helped many people around the world write amazing wedding speeches through his books.

Many other fathers made their sons proud, relieved themselves of speech writing stress and frustration and they looked great on their son’s wedding day!

This is what a few of the men who used this father of the groom wedding speech package had to say:

“I had to share my story with you as I really want every father of the groom to have a look at this book before doing anything about preparing his speech. I have been a bank employee all my life and can hardly remember a time when I spoke in public. May be once or twice in my school days but from the time I remember I always avoided public speaking and even if there was an opportunity I kept my distance from it.

It was on my son’s wedding that I could not possibly avoid it. I had to do it. It’s not that I didn’t want to speak. I wanted to express my love for my son, tell him how much he means to me and my wife and also at the same time make the bride feel welcome and comfortable to become a part of our family. But I just didn’t have the right words for it…

Maybe you are worried that a speech pack is too general to work for you, Andrew had the same concerns but he still felt the speech was tailor-made for him:

“It was such a happy occasion when my son decided to get married and, during discussions with some close friends about the various preparations that are needed, the subject of the father of the groom speech came up.. I was not very comfortable on this front and one of my friends suggested me to Google it. Initially I was reluctant to buy this book as I didn’t know if it would really help me say what I really wanted to say. I was not at all sure it would give me a speech which best suited my situation and would be appropriate for me.

I must say the book did a remarkable job and gave me something which actually made me feel it was tailor-made for me.

But even if the family ties are a bit more complicated like in Ben Green’s case this book can be of great help too:

“For me, giving a father of the groom speech was a little bit tricky as my son is actually my stepson. Even though we are a close-knit family I must admit I never shared the very special bond with him which normally exists between a father and son, mostly developed during childhood.

I didn’t know if I should be very emotional or should keep it simple and to the point. This book clarified all my doubts and gave me the step by step guidance of how to come up with a relevant speech…
