Groom

The audience will be willing you to succeed, and won't be expecting any fireworks. The tick list of 'must includes' is:

  1. Thank the hosts
  2. Thank / mention her parents
  3. Thank and mention your parents
  4. Express delight at the warmth and generosity that people have afforded you since you became engaged
  5. Introduce your best man

The rest is all about you and your bride.

You can try for a few laughs, but the audience will probably expect a bit of heart-on-the-sleeve stuff. They've invested a fair bit in coming to your wedding and this is your opportunity to demonstrate that they are witnessing the real deal.If you'd like a hand getting it just right then please give Lawrence a shout!
