Father of the Bride Speech

A man has many memorable days in his life but perhaps the most important is giving his own daughter’s hand away in marriage. A father’s father of the bride speech is aimed almost entirely towards his daughter and, of course, towards his new son-in-law. SpeechesForYou.co.uk always try to avoid the cliché: “I feel that I have not lost a daughter but gained a son.”

This will be one of the biggest and most exciting days of your daughter’s life and it is your job, as her father, to ensure that your father of the bride speech fully reflects the joys of your daughter; as well as keeping aunt Mavis away from the sherry…

You can Spend a little time reliving different stories and happy times surrounding your daughter. Furthermore, it is an excellent idea to include your first impressions of your now son-in-law and, with any luck, how he proved you wrong.

It is occasionally difficult for men to express their true feelings and we at SpeechesForYou.co.uk will make sure you end your father of the bride speech on a note that lets your daughter know how proud you are and how much she means to you.

Useful Tips

Describe five of your most memorable memories of your daughter showing her humour, care and compassion. It is far easier to make full use of five good stories in your father of the bride speech rather than briefly mention 10 to 15 accounts that leave people a little confused or not involved. Furthermore, do sit down and write down what your fist impressions were of your son-in-law when you were first introduced; has he proved you wrong or was he brilliant from the start?
