Father of The Bride Speech Example

Father of the Bride 2 Here is another example of our “fill in the blanks” wedding speeches - Father of the Bride

Every father knows that one day his daughter will find a great man, fly the nest and get married. Every father also wishes his daughter the best of luck in finding the right man, one that will make her happy beyond belief. And when the time comes when this happens, all the father can do is observe and hope for the best for her. Today, that is my role.

As a child, Karen was outgoing, strong and loving, something that she has brought into her adult life. But along the way she has picked up many skills, some from working and some from love. But everything she has done has made me the proudest father I know. Always wanting to become better in what she does, and being the generally caring person that she is, makes me unbelievably proud. When I was giving her away today, I cannot deny I felt a loss. After all, I was giving my daughter away to be married. But when we reached the altar, I felt something else, and for a while I didn’t know what it was. But then it dawned on me, that the feeling I was having was joy and happiness that I was giving my daughter away and that she was happy, happier than I have ever seen her.

When I first met her now husband, Paul, I instantly knew he was a good man, and would not be the type to mess my daughter around. Over the next few weeks I saw my daughter become happier and more confident in herself, wearing clothes that previously she had thought “made her bum look big”, or for other reasons chose not to wear. But Paul changed that. He has brought her out of her shell, let her be herself and not tried to change her to make him happy. After seeing how she was after the first couple of weeks, I hoped for her sake that it wouldn’t end, and leave her upset and heartbroken. But deep inside I think I knew that with her, I could trust Paul.

My main fear as a parent was my daughter making the wrong decisions in life; marrying for the wrong reasons was one of these. But once I had got to know Paul, I couldn’t have chosen anybody more suitable. Simply for the way he treats and makes my daughter feel about herself, I cannot thank him enough. So Paul, thank you.

Ladies and Gentlemen, I would finally like to say a couple of thank you messages. Firstly, to my daughter and her husband, for making me the happiest, proudest father around today. Thank you. Secondly, to all of you for joining us in our celebrations here today; you have all helped make it such a magnificent occasion.

I am sure that I could go on all day thanking everybody, but I won’t bore you all now, but I will say it to you when I see you. Thank you.

Ladies and Gentlemen, please join me as I wish the bride and groom all the happiness in the world. The Bride and Groom.

This is a good tip for a nice closure of a Father of the Bride speech…a lot depends on the nature of the Father and whether he has the ¨cojones¨…A couple of weeks before the wedding I was listening to some music when a song came up which seemed just perfect- ¨Take Good Care of my Baby…¨ by Bobby Vee…the words just fit the bill…First of all I visualised the two best men and an usher camping it up, completely over the top, miming the first couple of verses a la Three Degrees…but they didn´t have the cojones so I fixed up for the best man, at the words, ¨Take it away Ben….¨ to switch on the song which I, standing next to my Daughter, mimed, and with my arm around her shoulder rocking from side to side to the song, absolutely brought the house down…all I could see was and audience of 120 guests all swinging from side to side singing their hearts out in accompaniment, I sat down with cheers ringing in my ears…You see, you have to pick something which is appropriate to your situation but it´s no good picking something which nobody knows and of course absolute secrecy is the byword,(my Daughter didn´t have a clue either), and practice…practice…practice…Good Luck,,,!
