Bride Speech Sample III
It is not traditional for the bride to speak but I thought it only right that I start married life as I mean to go on- by having the last word. I would like to take this chance to thank everyone for taking the time to share this magical day with us. Today wouldn’t have been as special as it is without you- our family
and friends being here to celebrate with us.
I hope everyone is enjoying themselves and that the newspapers kept you entertained while we were having our photos taken. Please remember to use the cameras and can you please sign the guest book with any advice on married life!
I would like to thank Everybody for doing the readings. We have a small gift for you if you would like to come and receive these.
I would also like to thank my friend (Friend's name) who played piano for me walking down the aisle. (Friend's name) taught me to play piano many years ago and was a great inspiration to me. I played piano at her wedding and felt it was only fair that she returned the favor. I have a small gift here for you
A big thank you goes to my bridesmaids, (Bridesmaid's names) who were both a great help in the run up today and in keeping me calm throughout the day. I have something for you if you would like to come and collect this.
I would like to thank to my In laws and Parents for contributing to today and helping us make it
as special as it is.
(Groom's parents name) have welcomed me into the family and even put up with me staying with them at my most stressed out time known as finals. Thank you for raising (Groom's name) so well for me. I understand that the warranty is out of date now and the refund deadline has long since passed. I might keep him for a while though as he has so many qualities- charm, brains and beauty are sadly the only ones missing….
I would like to thank my mum and dad for all their love, support and guidance throughout my life. I would not be where I am today if it wasn’t for your encouragement. You have been wonderful examples to me and shown me the love and commitment involved in a marriage, which will hopefully stand me in good stead. Thanks dad for giving me away- although you were probably glad to get rid of me. Just remember, you have not lost a daughter today, you have gained a son.
We have a small gift if my mum, and mother in law, Jane, could both come and receive these now. If
you look after these the way you did us, they will also grow and thrive.
Over the past few months, I've been gathering a few opinions about marriage;
Some say that marriage begins when you sink into his arms and ends up with your arms in his sink.
Someone told me that love is one long sweet dream, and marriage is the alarm clock.
A lot of people seem to think there is a big difference to your relationship once you are married.
Someone told me: Before marriage a man will lay awake all night thinking about something you said; after marriage he'll fall asleep before you have finished saying it.
They say that when a man holds a woman's hand before marriage, it is love; after marriage it is
self-defense.
Our opinion of marriage today is more positive than this- I’ll let you know if I still feel the same 20
years down the line.
I have not yet said anything about my best friend and
husband, (Groom's name)
He is the man who came to be my Guardian angel,who has guided and protected me through the ups and downs of life. When I think back to the night we got together, I knew right then and there that this was who I would spend my life with.
We are gradually moving closer together- it used to be Scotland- Oxford, then Cambridge- Oxford and from April it will be Cambridge- Nottingham. They say that out of sight is out of mind. In our case, that is definitely not true. I know that our relationship is strong enough to last through anything life throws at us. Hopefully, in the near future, we will live in the same part of the country.
(Groom's name) has stuck by me through some difficult points. Over the years we have both reached various crisis points- in spite of popular belief, student life isn’t always easy. This has just brought us closer together and has shown me that (Groom's name) is my soul mate in life and our love will only grow stronger each day.
(Groom's name)- you have given me strength and courage to stand up for what I believe in and have given me more confidence in my ability by your encouragement and faith in me. You have given me a treasure trove of beautiful memories and given me a gift that is priceless, and that is believing that love really does exist. My most treasured memory will always be today.
If it is true that Guys are like stars - so many to pick from but only one can make all your dreams come true! And you are that star for me
I love you (Groom's name) for all that you have made of yourself in this life, and for what I know we will make together in our lives from this day on. I am so proud to be your wife. The most beautiful wedding gift I'll have today is knowing in my heart I have your love forever...........
I would like to take time now to remember those who are unable to be with us today. Many of our family were unable to travel to Edinburgh. Others will be looking down on our wedding day
I would therefore like to propose a toast.…. (raise glass) to absent friends…..and for my Soul mate (Groom's name)
