Fathers and their sons may play golf together and share their thoughts and ideas. What fathers say in their father of the groom's speeches are probably, though, a secret until the wedding day itself. The groom speech is also usually a secret from everyone although the best man may be asked to hear a practise run.
Father of the groom speeches are given at the discretion of the couple. Sometimes they only want a short speech from the best man or the father of the bride. The groom's dad, though, usually likes to say a few short words on an occasion that wouldn't have happened if they hadn't been there in the first place. They like to say just what their sons mean to them and talk about the memories they have of their boys growing years. The Groom speech on the other hand refers mainly to his bride and to how lucky he is to have found her. It may also, of course, include some teasing comments about his best man too. Naturally he will thank his parents for their lovi ng and caring and, quite often, their help with the wedding.
Father of the groom speeches should always include a welcome into their families of their new daughters-in-law and their parents. They usually include kind comments on how much they love those new daughters-in -law and why. A Groom speech will, of course, also say why he loves his new wife. It should also welcome his guests and thank them for their gifts. Father of the groom speeches are usually the shortest of the wedding speeches because the father of the groom is really only an honoured guests at the wedding. They should always speak after the father of the bride if he is speaking.
A groom speech is usually sentimental in tone but that is not to say it does not have its light-hearted moments. He may refer to his best man and how he had to support him at the altar instead of the other way around. Usually too it will thank his parents for all they have done for him over the years. Such a speech always ends with a toast to the bridesmaids.
Both typ es of speeches are part and parcel of the magic of the wedding day.
