There are plenty of things to talk about when giving your groom speech.   Narrowing down the ideas is often hard.  I jotted down some ideas in my note pad and found them very helpful.    This in not an inclusive list.  It’s just a starting point for you.

1. Wish the guests a warm welcome.
2. Welcome the guests by name that helped out with the wedding details.  Just don’t forget anyone.
3. Thank the bride’s parents.
4. Thank your new wife-need I say more?.
5. Compliment your bride: tell her how stunning she looks. And do mean it!
6. Compliment the ones did the reception arrangements.
7. Thanks your best man for his efforts.
8. Mention how you met your wife-if appropriate.
9. Explain why you picked this particular day for the ceremony.
