There is nothing quite as amazing as a wedding. You’re going to find that there’s something wonderful about two people getting married. This becomes especially true if you are close to the bride and groom. If you’re the brother of the bride, then you may be asked to be part of the ceremony. It’s for that reason that you may want to start getting ready for the inevitable moment when you’re going to have to say a wedding speech. With that in mind, the following bullet points are going to help you come up with something good, overall.
Get A Piece of Paper Out
The first thing that you should do is simple, get a piece of paper out. You should get a paper out because you’re going to need to put in a few bullet points. The starting one is simple, mind you, and that’s introducing yourself to the audience that has gathered. Sure, a lot of people will know that you’re the brother of the bride, but they are not everyone is going to know whom you are. It’s for sure that reason, that you will need to start with an introduction. Talk about what your name is, how you know the bride, and how she’s grown to become a great woman.
Discuss How Your Sister Has Changed
Talk about the past, and consider telling a story about the past. You have grown up with your sister, so you know a lot more than other people know. With that in mind, make sure that you discuss how your sister has changed since she has been engaged and will no doubt continue to change as she gets married to the love of her life. Talk about how you have talked to the groom, and that you’ve experienced a few things with him, and he truly loves your sister. This is going to definitely come across as sincere, and something grand overall.
Love Is A Good Topic
If you have experienced love, or you have a favorite love story, movie, quote, or anything along the lines of this topic, you should consider discussing it. Think about looking at some lyrics, or something that you can quote in regard to the bigger picture of marriage. If you’re stumped, don’t worry. You could go with a sacred text, such as the Holy Bible. The Corinthians, for example, has a whole chapter on love and marriage, and could very well help you flesh out a little bit more out of your speech. This is a good way to set up a new element overall.
Edit The Speech
With the 3 major bullet points you have above, you are going to be able to write quite a bit. However, you should edit things a bit. In order to edit things, you’ll want to focus on a few elements. If you wrote this all out on a piece of paper, then you can start to edit the simple points and see how long it takes you to say them. Time yourself, speak it out loud, and just edit the bullet points into a succinct speech.
