How to Write the Perfect Wedding Speech

Video Transcript

"Hi, my name is Laura and today I'm going to give you some tips for writing the perfect wedding speech. First of all, you're going to want to decide what your subject is going to be. Are you going to write a speech about love or are you going to write speech about marriage particularly or are you going to write about one homecoming or leaving the home and what is that going to really encompass? And that'll give you a good starting point. And this, of course a very broad general starting point for you to begin with there. Next of course you're going to want to write a few drafts of the speech. In order to make it the perfect speech, you're going to have to start from square one and then move up as you go. So make sure you give yourself enough time to write the speech. You're going to want to make personal and funny references to the bride and the groom in your speech; but you're also going to want to include something, something a little more serious to give buffer to those. So you're going to want to have the sweet and the tart in the same speech so that you can make it really good. And finally, you want to perhaps draw from famous literature or poems in order to give your speech even a lot to their meaning. The best speech that I ever saw at the wedding was one which drawn off the, the very last passages from the Lord Of The Rings which was about Sam getting married which was a very great speech. It was by the, the brother of the groom and it was a very long; it's almost like a, like a lecture. It's not saying that you need to write a lecture for you for the perfect wedding speech; for if it's going to be perfect, it really has to blow people away. And one way to do that is to actually try and make it more like an essay or a speech as written out and then of course you want to memorize it. So write something that you can memorize within that time frame and really try to include things that are going to make it better than you ever imagine that could be. You can also refer to wedding guides and see examples of other speeches and sort of draw from other people's ideas. But you really going to want to do it on a person by person basis; so you want to, you know, try to reflect yourself in your opinions in your speech. So good luck writing that perfect wedding speech."
