Father of the Bride Speech Sample II
On behalf of my wife (Wife's name) and myself, we would like to say it's lovely that so many have been able to make it here today. We have guests from so many places. I thank you all for making your auspicious presence over here and blessing the newly wed couple for there happy married life
Now, as father of the bride, I have the pleasure of making the first speech, and paving the way for the star speakers, the Groom and the Best man. I won't bore you with a long speech because of my throat.
I along with my family want to say THANKS VERY MUCH to all who have helped to make this a lovely day. It is a mark of the love within our organization that different ones have helped with the service, provided accommodation for guests, arranged flowers, done hairdo's, taken photos, cooked and prepared food, provided a car, music, and have prepared this venue for the couple.
I hate to quote names as I know I'd miss someone out, and not everyone who has helped is able to be with us here today. We are so thankful for all your kind efforts, and I'm sure you'll now join me in showing our appreciation to all those lovely people!
Wasn't it a lovely wedding? How happy (Groom's name) and (Bride's name) look! As per there meet they met in Nicaragua, where (Bride's name) was to do the work she's always loved, in a land where there's a great need. (Groom's name) parents (Groom's parents name) are very hospitable people, and they put up many visitors arriving or departing through the capital, Managua. (Bride's name)stayed there, met (Groom's name) , and, as they say, the rest is history!
After a while, (Groom's name) used the traditional method of asking my consent to a marriage, he got (Bride's name) to email me! This is a wedding that joins two families together.
(Bride's name) you are looking so beautiful. What to say about her? She's intelligent, good-looking, generous, hard-working, popular and witty. Surely, you can tell she's my daughter!
(Bride's name) is a loving daughter that we are so proud of. Yes, I know dads can be biased, and, yes, she could never do any wrong in my eyes. She does have a strong mind of her own, which I am sure (Groom's name) has already found out for himself!
(Groom's name)got to know us first over the Internet. He's now been living with us for 5 months. He seems to get along with us very well. He has a pleasant, considerate and loving manner and makes a lot of effort to get on with us. We're sure he'll look after (Bride's name) very well and make a good son-in-law for us.
With having been married 2/3rds of my life, I believe I can give the couple some practical advice.
Firstly, a Marriage Certificate is not a qualification. It comes with no guarantee, and no expiry date!
Marriage is not about finding a perfect partner, it's about learning to become one.
There are many things that go into making a marriage happy.. Love, faithfulness, trust, someone who will listen, persistence, patience, tolerance, tenacity, stamina, and forgiveness, or failing that, a defective memory is very useful.
At the end, Thank you all once again for your help and for being here today. Now, I'm finished, so you can enjoy the Groom's and Best Man's speeches, no pressure, (Groom's name) and(Bride's name), and an evening of music and enjoyment!
Once again, we want to show our appreciation for everyone's help to make today perfect for the couple, and of our love for the sweet couple.
