Talk about how wonderful the wedding has been and how happy you are to be a part of the couple's big day.

Next talk about your son's his childhood days and his life as an adult. You can talk about some embarrassing stories about his childhood, there are bound to be some funny ones. Add a little emotion to it by talking about how you felt when he was growing up, and your role as a father. Mention that fact that you are proud of him and his achievements and have faith in his ability to raise a family. Talk about his bachelor days and his personality back then. AVOID any mention of his past relationships even in jest. A father's groom speech cannot afford to include anything that can embarrass the newlyweds on their special day. This is the day for the bride and groom, and no one else. Then talk about how his character has been enhanced by the bride and how he has grown and changed.

Your own wedding day and marriage goof ups and lessons you have learnt in your life will be both funny and thought provoking. Express your thought about the relationship and your confidence in their abilities to face the future together.

Express some words of happiness at getting to know the bride's family. Give the bride and groom your blessing.
