After the wedding ceremony, the wedding reception is next on the agenda of celebration. It is a momentous day for the groom because it is his first day of life with his bride.
The groom's wedding toast is one of the expected moments of the occasion. It is the opportunity for the groom to profess his unending love for his bride. Although it may be a nervous moment for the groom to make a speech and toast, there are preparations that can be made to help deliver it successfully. Here are a few:
Write a draft. If the groom has no idea on how to make a toast, there are great resources for wedding toasts that can be found online. Be sure to keep the written draft short and straightforward.
Once the written draft is finished, be sure to practice it many times! Practice the toast by memorizing it and saying it out loud in front of the mirror or with a friend listening to you. This will help to determine if you have some flaws in your speech or in your presentation.
Once the wedding toast has been practiced and memorized, the next task is to apply it at the actual wedding toast.
Let the wedding coordinator talk to the attending guests and close families settle down first. This will give you the time to compose yourself. Traditionally the best man will be the toast master to introduce the groom to have the toast but the maid of honor can also do it nowdays.
When everyone in the reception has settled, the groom may stand up and start with his toast speech. The first idea is to thank and acknowledge the presence of the groom's parents and parents in law.
Then, the presence of the bride is specifically mentioned since she is the most important. The groom thanks the bride and tells some short stories about her or to the both of them.
After these brief presentations, the wedding toast may now be addressed. The groom may raise his hands with a glass of wine and start the toast.
The toast should be genuine and with spontaneity. The toast should last for about 3 to 5 minutes and it should not take longer than the allotted time. Make sure to have an eye to eye contact with the bride while saying the toast.
Read these examples of a wedding toast of the groom.
"I offer a toast to my bride that she may be blessed by our Lord.
"I toast to my parents for their hardships in taking care of me. I thank them and will forever be indebted to them."
"I raise my glass to my parents in law; I thank them for letting go of their daughter for me.
"I propause a toast to my best man for all his support to me. I have really proven until this day, that forever he will be my buddy."
"I offer a toast to all our guests, your support through these years has never faded. Me and my bride Thank you, may God bless you and guide you always.
These are some examples of a grooms toast. Make the speech toast worthy and memorable. Be happy!
