All Speeches Great & Small

Wedding speeches, for most of us, are the pinnacle of our public speaking lives. It’s usually the only point in your existence where you’ll have to stand up and say something funny and/or heartfelt about somebody close to you. More than anything in the world you just don’t want to muck it up but it’s the expectation, the pressure, the grandness and expense of the day that conspires to make many speakers a little bit nervous about the whole thing.
 

The difficult aspect about wedding speeches is that nearly everyone who has to make one will have little or no experience of public speaking and if they do, it almost certainly won’t involve a comedy remit. And the pressure to be funny can be stifling. I speak to many people all over the world who can deliver a corporate speech but when it comes to being funny and genuinely funny at that, it’s just a complete mystery to them, and that’s totally understandable. Not everybody can perform heart bypass surgery and not everyone can fix a car, so why should everyone just be able to turn their hands to comedy wedding speeches?
 

if you’ve got enough time to plan, research, write, rewrite and rehearse, then a great wedding speech can be yours, and if you’re up for that challenge I’ve laid out some hints and tips to help you along the way.

This should be the most straightforward speech but if you simply turn it into a list of thanks then you’ve really missed an opportunity. A wedding speech without humour is also inexcusable, as it will just become a blur of acknowledgments and sentiment. So, think how you can make anything from your parents to the first date funny and leave your bride until the end. Keep the emotion real and honest and let the guests enjoy a few tears as well as laughs.
