Groom Speech Examples

To all my fellow grooms,

If you are looking for some high quality groom speech examples, then you are at the right place! (Keep Reading)

I’m about to show you where to get 20 professionally written, awe-inspiring, groom speeches and a step-by-step guide walking you through all you need to know to create your own inspirational groom speech.

But first, a few things you need to ask yourself…

What are YOU looking for with your Groom Speech?

Do you want a great selection of sample speeches so that you can make your own inspirational speech?
Do you want to be able to write your own fantastic speech from scratch?
Do you want to be able to deliver your speech with total confidence?
Perhaps you just want to look as good as you can on the big day and avoid any chance of embarrassment!

Whatever your reasons are, I’m sure you will find the following website extremely helpful …I know I did:  “Groom Speeches: Say the right words at the right time”

When I first read it, I thought the guy wrote it specifically for me because he answered every question I had, and allowed me to overcome any fears and doubts that I previously had.

I’m sure that if you read it for yourself, you will get immensely satisfying results when you deliver your speech…

His “Groom Speeches” system is the easiest thing in the world to follow, when it comes to getting a quality groom speech and presenting it to your friends and family.

When I first ran across his website, I was already frustrated because I hadn’t found anything worth using yet.  And when I started reading through everything that was included, I felt like i hit the JACKPOT!

There is something like 20 sample speeches, over 100 toasts, piles of quotes, jokes and one-liners that will make your speech THE one to remember…

The only warning I will give you, is that you may have to use 2 or 3 different speeches to make it sound a bit more like your style. (especially if you have known your fiance for less than a year) – But it’s still not that big of a deal. It helped me out a lot.

Enjoy!

One very important element of your groom speech is humor.  Funny groom speeches are definitely pleasing to the crowd, but don’t take them overboard. Let me share with you a quick example of what’s ok to say, and what’s NOT ok to say on your wedding day…

I went to a friends’ wedding where the groom added “too much funny” to his speech and actually ended up hurting peoples feelings. (like the bride!) I’m sure that wasn’t the goal he had in mind when he started out, but because he wasn’t really prepared to give his speech in the first place, the pressure got the best of him and he ended up saying some things that were not appropriate for a wedding… Much less HIS wedding!

Now don’t get the wrong idea here… He’s a good guy and he didn’t get nasty or anything like that.  In fact, the words and conversation itself wasn’t that bad at all.  I don’t remember exactly what was said, but it had something to do with a past relationship of his.  Normally this would have been a laughing matter for him and his wife, but let’s face it; NOBODY wants to hear about their partners ex on their wedding day!

So rule #1 is to leave the “ex lover” talk at home on your wedding day. (even if you think your bride won’t mind)

A couple of minutes later in his speech, my friend said something like “how he couldn’t believe that the little chubby girl from down the street would turn into such a beautiful person and steal his heart for so many years, ect…”  Even though he meant for it to be a compliment, his wife told him later on that it made her want to cry.

Why? Because NO bride want’s to be reminded of a flaw that they have (or use to have) on their wedding day.  This is the day that they have dreamed about their entire life, and they deserve to feel more beautiful then they ever have.

Overall, his wedding still turned out great, but a lot of embarrassment and ‘hurt feelings’ (and some regret on his part) could have been avoided if he would have just did a little bit of planning ahead.  He could have done what most other guys do and browse through some groom speech examples to get an idea of what other grooms were saying.  It doesn’t take much work, and the little “tips” and “reminders” that you will get from them are priceless! You can read my last post about this here: http://groomspeechexamples.com/sample-wedding-speeches/

So that brings us to rule #2: Be Prepared!

Even if you are a naturally good speaker, keep in mind that the circumstances during your wedding will not be the same as any other day. Begin working on your speech ahead of time, so you can put some actual thought into it. Read through speeches that other grooms have given, and see if there is anything that could potentially give the wrong message.  That is really all it takes to figure out what “funny will fly” in your groom wedding speech.

As I mentioned the other day, I waited way too late to start planning my groom speech, and it almost cost me my wedding!

Ok, so I’m being a little dramatic… A silly speech wouldn’t have cost me my wedding, but it sure would have been embarrassing if I wouldn’t have been able to put something together, don’t you think?

So much like you, I started scouting the internet in search of some sample wedding speeches that I could use as a template for my own speech. (I just hope you got an earlier start on this then I did!)

I ran across a few freebies that some other grooms had put up online, but nothing was really making sense to me. It’s like I didn’t even know how important this speech was going to be until the time came for me to sit down and start writing… Then it hit me!

I realized that the reason these sample wedding speeches were not helping was because they were not coming from ME. I got this overwhelming feeling (it hit me out of nowhere) that I wouldn’t be able to forgive myself if I just “copied” someone else’s speech.

But at the same time, I was drawing a blank and needed some help because I’m not a good writer, so here’s what I did…

I picked up a package of groom speech examples and toasts from this wedding website.

Now, I don’t know why or how it happened, but all I know after I started reading through these prompts and templates, the words just started coming to mind. I think it had something to do with the “triggers” that they provide that gets your brain thinking in a different way.

Whatever it was, it worked!

Within an hour of getting these sample wedding speeches in my hands, I was finished. I ended up making a few minor changes to my speech the next day, but all in all, the guide that I followed in that package pretty much did the trick.

Now, if I’m being honest here, I probably made the purchase out of desperation, and I don’t want you to do the same, so let me give you a few tips that I learned the hard way.

#1 – If you decide to get these groom speech examples, then just go with the digital version. There is really no reason to spend twice the amount of money JUST to have it delivered to your mailbox. (It’s the exact same thing from what I can tell) Plus you will have them within about 3 minutes.

#2 – Use the “fill in the blank” templates FIRST, and then read through the sample speeches. I found that reading through the samples first would take me back to trying to repeat what I just read. (which was NOT my ideas)

The templates worked great, and I honestly don’t think I could have put together a better groom speech if I would have started a year early!

As the groom, you will be expected to give one or more groom toasts throughout the evening. This type of thing may sound easy, but if you leave somebody out, it probably won’t go down too well.

So I’ve put together a few guidelines that you will want to follow when giving these little miniature speeches. I wrote mine down on a napkin, just so I wouldn’t forget, and I am SO glad I did! You can also use these guidelines when writing your main groom speech.

Here is a short list of people you DO NOT want to leave out when showing your appreciation…

Don’t Forget To Thank The Father Of The Bride

This is just out of respect. Be sure and thank him for proposing the toast (if he did). Thank him for his lovely daughter whom you are now married to, for his kindness and friendship (just don’t flat out lie). Also don’t forget to acknowledge and thank him for the wedding feast if he contributed. (That will make him feel good)

Don’t Forget To Thank The Wedding Guests

This one is often overlooked, but it’s polite to tell everyone how much you appreciate them for attending, and how thankful you are for all of their good wishes. If you have received gifts at this point, be sure to mention that you are grateful for all the lovely gifts that you have received.

Don’t Forget To Thank Your New Bride

This one should come natural on your wedding day. Take it from me… No matter what you right down, the right words will just seem to come out when you are talking to her during this time. Thank her for marrying you! (That simple line will mean a lot to her) You can talk about how you met, why you love her, and how excited you are about your new future together.

Don’t Forget To Thank The Individuals

There will certainly be the individuals who help make your wedding day special. DO NOT forget to tell them how much you appreciate them! These are people who help organize and plan the event, bridesmaids, groomsmen, and of course the Best man!

As long as you don’t leave anyone out of these groups, you will be just fine!

Enjoy your day and make the most of your groom toasts!  You can get some toast examples here.

Believe me when I tell you that a good collection of groom speech examples could turn out to be the saving grace on your wedding day… Especially if you are anything like me!

I always knew that when the time came for me and my fiancé to get married, I would have to give my groom speech, but I had no idea just how important that speech would turn out to be in the long run.

The truth is that I am a bit of a procrastinator, and I put this part off until it was almost too late. So my advice if you are a ‘groom-to-be’ is simple…

Don’t wait too long like I did… START EARLY! I promise you will be glad you did.

You see, it wasn’t until I actually sat down and started to write the thing, when I hit a roadblock. I had been with Tracy for over 7 years, but I was completely clueless as to where I should start. I think the reality of how important it actually was set in, and I just wanted it to be perfect.

It was pretty difficult at first, but after a while I decided to use some basic speech prompts and guides to help me along with my thoughts. I used a few “memory jogging” exercises and within minutes, I was pouring out all kinds of great ideas. These memory joggers were just simple things like where we met, how long we’ve been together, and some of our other memorable moments. You know… basic things like that.

My biggest tip to you if you are in this stage is to write all these memory joggers down as they come to you, and not get sidetracked like I did on the other stuff. (like wedding speech jokes, and the groom toasts!) These are just distractions, and will delay the process of completing your wedding speech.

The important thing is to remember is stop putting it off (if you are), and just start writing SOMETHING. When you have something written down, you can begin looking around for some quality groom speech examples to help you expand on your ideas. (or you can just click here to use the exact same ones that I used)

Either way, when you are first starting this project, remember this quote… “You don’t have to get it right, you just have to get it going”
