Find Free Wedding Speeches and Toasts on the Internet

Posted under Wedding Toasts on Sunday 12 February 2006

There are scores of free wedding speeches and toasts available on the net. These toasts and speeches have been put up to attract brides and grooms. More often than not, the free speeches and toasts are limited to a few samples only. The bride and the groom or the Best Man is then asked to visit the paid section to get the best speeches.

This is not a bad ploy because it drives targeted traffic to these sites. The visitors are the bride or the groom, the bride’s father, the Best Man or the Maid of Honor. Each one of them wants to get their wedding speech ready in time. None of them wants to make a fool of themselves before guests, and visit these sites in the hope of getting model speeches and toasts.

The site owners take full advantage of this wedding need. They write keywords that use the word free with wedding speeches, toasts, bride and groom, repeatedly. These keywords are copied and saved by search engine spiders. When a harassed father or an anxious Best Man searches for suitable speeches or toasts he is directed to these sites.

Giving a Best Man Wedding Speech Can Be Tough

Posted under Wedding Toasts on Wednesday 8 February 2006

The Best Man wedding speech is not an easy speech to deliver. This is because it follows the wedding speeches made by the bride’s father and the groom. If the two happen to be good speakers then the Best Man has to rise to a new level to hold the attention of the guests. If the two speakers have disappointed the guests with their dull speeches then they would like the Best Man to wind up his speech quickly so that everyone can proceed to the bar.

There is also one more difficulty that the Best Man faces when he rises to deliver the wedding speech. This arises from the fact that the Best man is an outsider. Only the groom and the bride, and the immediate family, knows him. The rest of the family or friends would be meeting him for the first time. So, the Best Man Wedding Speech has to be something special to capture everyone’s attention.

Invariably the Best Man wedding speech includes some interesting anecdotes about the groom, his personal qualities, their relationship etc. He may also tell the guest how the couple met, and maybe some interesting nuggets about the two. The Best Man also thanks the groom for his speech on behalf of the ushers, bridesmaids, and other helpers.

Good Wedding Speeches Can Add To Wedding Festivities

Posted under Wedding Toasts on Thursday 19 January 2006

How can there be a wedding without wedding speeches? The bride’s father is the first to do the honors, followed by the groom and then by the Best Man. At some weddings even the maid of Honor may be asked to speak a few words. The guests wait for the speeches to end before heading for the bar, and joining the celebrations.

It is not that wedding speeches are not fun. They are. Good speeches can add life and zest to wedding celebrations. But these speeches are few and far between. The majority of the speeches fall flat, because the speaker has not made adequate preparations.

Most wedding speeches are today delivered as a ritual. The bride’s father is too busy making arrangements and has not spent sufficient time reciting his lines; the groom is too overwhelmed by the occasion to stand up and deliver; and the Best Man is busy enjoying the attention to worry about the speech.

So, what should be done? Should the guests suffer the speeches in silence at wedding after wedding? Or should the speakers realize the importance of the occasion and do justice to the responsibility entrusted to them?

Speeches and the Wedding Toast Make Weddings Fun

Posted under Wedding Toasts on Thursday 12 January 2006

Speeches and the wedding toast bring life to wedding festivities. They add to the occasion’s joy, and give the bride and the groom a chance to thank the guests, their friends and parents. The guests too look forward to the wedding speeches, especially if they are well delivered.

Most grooms take the wedding speeches very seriously. They spend hours writing and rehearsing their speech. Many of them even refer to books to get ideas. A few, enterprising entrepreneurs have even set up websites that sell wedding speeches. Those who don’t want to buy speeches visit free sites to obtain tips on wedding speeches and wedding toasts.

It is not only the grooms who struggle with wedding speeches or with the thought of proposing the wedding toast. The Best Man too faces a similar quandary. He would not like to make a fool of himself by stuttering or stammering at the wedding of his best friend. The Maid of Honor is another individual who wants to make an impact. So does the bride’s father.

Funny Wedding Toasts - Add Some Quick Humor to Your Toast

So you’re going to a wedding. Whether you’re the father, best man, or what have you, you’re going to give a wedding toast. Wedding toasts are short one liners and are something along the lines of: “To the Bride and Groom - may your following years together be filled with much happiness and joy.” But, that’s pretty plain and dry - not very funny. With a little humor we can create some pretty funny wedding toasts.

Funny toasts are not at all hard to write. Just make sure you don’t over do it and come across looking like a jerk at the wedding. So let’s quickly throw together some funny wedding toasts to say…

 
  • To the groom: “May you have many happy nights…taking out the trash.”
  • To the groom: “Congrats. Your bride is very lovely - but what happened to that cute chick you were with last week?”
  • An old one but my favorite: “To our wives and lovers - hopefully they never meet!”

    • OK, so those aren’t the most funny or clever toasts ever, but I came up with the first two in a matter of minutes. The point is that you can bring some humor to the wedding by writing some funny toasts. For more information on toasts, check out our page on wedding toasts.
