It’s fine except you should also ask one of the grooms brothers what is his quirks and then use that too so you don’t just single out the bride. Also for the ending do say.. good bye. It doesn’t fit with …Now for the moment you’ve all been waiting for… Instead use a pun about the couple or say ‘here’s to the new bride and groom’ or something like that.

You and your husband stay together no matter what your in-laws do. Your husband should stand up to "his" family and demand respect or cut them out of your lives.

His family isn’t just being disrespectful and offensive to you; they’re being disrespectful and offensive to him by treating his wife badly. It sounds like the whole lot of them need to grow the hell up, and your husband needs to grow a pair and demand his family treat the two of you with respect.

You tell your husband that you don’t want anything to do with him.

OK, I don’t know how much this is about Scottish vs English. There are rude people in every walk of life. It’s clear that your in-laws think they can drive you away so your husband can find a wife who is more suitable to them. But this shouldn’t be an issue between you and your in-laws.
As far as you are concerned, this is an issue between you and your husband, and his apparent tolerance of his families bad behaviour.

If he is quietly standing by while his family disrespects his choice of wife, then he is a coward and needs to get a backbone.

You don’t have to get along with his family. Heck you don’t even have to like each other. But everyone needs to show respect, and he needs to tell his family, "When you disrespect my wife, you are disrespecting me".

Its all very nice but I dont at all like the part >>>>>

I’ve never seen so many target and bed bath and beyond gift cards, bags, and packages in my life! There was so much wedding stuff that 3 weeks ago, Sarah had to move in my room because her room had become so over stuffed with wedding favors, bridal party gifts, wedding invitations, wedding RSVPs, flower girl baskets in every color, and of course, wedding gifts.>>>>>

It makes it sound like there so much stuff its just a hassle, and that their gifts arent singularly appreciated. Plus dont mention store names.. esp a discount store like Target. Gee, Ive never seen so many Target packages ! Like calling them all a bunch of cheapskates. See what I mean ?

Instead talk about.. how with every gift that arrives, Sarah is just thrilled that people think so kindly about their marriage. Leave it at that.

This is very good — it’s very appealing and the wedding crowd will love it.

My only slight reservation would be to referring to everyone’s generous gifts as "stuff", particularly that her room was "over stuffed" with gifts, etc. It makes it sound a bit like it was a nuisance receiving all these gifts! People like to think that their gift was "special", and if it’s lost in a mound of other gifts, then it obviously isn’t. (Are Target, Bed Bath and Beyond Gift stores? Are they reasonably up-market? If not, it’s safest not to mention them. But I really wouldn’t mention the gifts anyway.) Perhaps you could say instead that your sister’s wedding dress, favors, invitations and RSVPs were taking up all your sister’s room, and that leads nicely into the rest of your story.

I hope the day goes well!

I thought it was nice and humorous. Don’t listen to ‘Joy’. It’s supposed to be long, it’s a speech! But in the end instead of ‘goodbye!’ say something like ‘I wish you a happy and fruitful *wink* marriage.’

I’m sorry but it is too long, I would go back to the drawing board. Did you know there are books about writing speeches for such an occasion?

Perfect! I enjoyed reading this.

P.S.
I’m glad you waited until they were married before letting the groom know not to wake her up early in the morning. lol

Comment on Who should wear a tux? by endorable

Since your dad and the two stepfather’s will not be active participants in the ceremony, they don’t need to wear the ‘wedding uniform’ if finances are an issue. They are however ‘honoured guests’ and should be provided with bouttonieres, as should any grandfathers or godfathers that are in the picture still. That should make everyone happy

It’s your wedding; do what you like. Traditionally, in a formal wedding, not only would the entire wedding party (father included) wear a tux, but the invitation would say, "Black tie" or "Black tie optional." But since it is your wedding, Dad should wear what you are comfortable with, and since he won’t be standing at the altar, it won’t look weird.

It would be best, however, if he wore a dark (black or navy) suit, because it will look best in pictures.

heavens if you really want it done with style, do not put a small boy in a tux- [under 8]. she will find boys wedding clothes on the internet, but if you do want it formal the dads should wear a tux, other wise a dark suit will do. If any step dad or father in law is in a tux–be sure you own dad has one, [his past is irrelavent].

If you don’t mind that they aren’t going to be in a tux…than I wouldn’t worry about it. Typically the Groom, bestman, groomsmen, ring bearer and the fathers (steps included) should be in tuxes, but I think its preference. Especially if someone can’t afford to rent a tux (where they can be pricey) than I wouldn’t worry about it. What we did was put the dad’s in matching tuxes…they don’t match the wedding party exactally, but they don’t differ from it much…then my stepdad rented a tux for himself…it’s close to what our dad’s are wearing, but it’s from a less expensive tux rental place. Yea it’ll look good in pictures if everyone is in tuxes, but if someone can’t afford it…than I wouldn’t worry about it.

I think it should be up to you and your future wife. Maybe if you do decide that the others should be in a tux…than offer to pay for them…just a thought.

Hope this helps!! :0)

I think whatever works best for your situation is fine. It’s not necessary for everyone to be in tuxes, so if it’s not an option, don’t worry about it. I think the people you listed having tuxes is enough for your situation. You’re right about the pictures too. They’ll be fine. It’s not like all the grandparents, aunt & uncles, cousins, etc. will be in tuxes and bridesmaid dresses. I think as long as both your dad and stepdad don’t have on tuxes, it’s fine. If only one of them wants to get one, I think it might be awkward, so I would stick with neither of them getting one. Good luck and congrats!

I say ask your real father if he wound mind not wearing a tux. If he can’t afford it and you didn’t rent anyone else’s, I’m sure wouldn’t mind. Hope I helped.

At alot of tux places if you have a large party they get a discount on threir tuxes and you get one free, why dont you give your free one to your dad.

In the weddings I have seen all the fathers wear a tuxedo because of the formal family pictures. The fathers are considered part of the wedding party as honored guests, so they usually wear the same attire as the groomsmen. However, that isnt a steadfast rule and if you would rather them wear a balck suit then have them wear that. I will say this though it will probably look odd if her dad is dressed to the 9′s and yours arent. So for uniformity I would do it.

Dude, just let them wear what they want to wear. Tell them to dress nice, a suit or whatever, but the tux for the grooms dad is overrated. I just got married last week and my dad just wore a suit. But it wasnt that easy because it was the topic over many conversations prior to the wedding….all because he didnt want to wear one…..when all is said and done, not a single person noticed.

And the picture argument doesnt work for me because unless you are doing an extreme formal wedding, it doesnt even matter…..also, tell me how many houses you have been in where a wedding picture was displayed that included the bride and grooms family??? I have a lot of friends and been to a lot of houses and havent seen a single one. I have seen many of the bride and groom, but never of the entire familys.

The recommended, traditional order is the following:

- Father of the Bride
- Groom
- Best Man
- Maid of Honor

While this is the traditional order, it is definitely OK to move the speeches around if you wish to do so.

Guests neither know nor care who’s paying for the wedding. We’re paying for ours. Our officiant is welcoming everyone to the ceremony, and then the DJ will welcome everyone as he starts the introductions. The BM and MoH are giving toasts at the reception, too.

you can do what you want, it’s your wedding! If you feel that since you and your new hubby are paying, you should give the speech, then do it!

Good Luck!

my cousin’s father welcomed everyone to her first wedding
and ended up saying he thought she was too young to get married. (at 23) She’s been divorced twice, go figure. Do it yourself

Why not as a couple welcome your guests and thank them for sharing the special moment with them.
