7 Easy Tips For A Same-Sex Wedding Speech.
A same-sex wedding speech is no different than say, the Father of the Bride Speech. As in a typical civil wedding, a same-sex wedding speaker is often the first speaker of the reception. Consequently, there are some important things the Speech must cover.
The Same-sex Wedding Speech
Many people have never been to a same-sex wedding, and they don’t know what to expect. Well, there might be two wedding dresses or none at all. And all weddings, irrespective of gender, are about two people celebrating their love, and making a lifelong commitment to one another.
It is an honor to speak at a wedding, so if you’re asked, here’s an easy and essential outline for a same-sex wedding speech:
- Start by welcoming the in-laws, then the other relatives, and finally the friends that are in attendance
- Thank the people who have helped put the event together.
- Compliment the couple on their appearance.
- Talk about your offspring (or relative or friend), about their accomplishments, and their life so far.
- Congratulate the couple and welcome them into the families.
- Offer your advice and wish them well.
- Make the actual Toast for the couple.
Final Tips
Your same-sex wedding speech should be around 5 minutes long. Essentially, it should not be longer than 10 minutes…. brevity should be your goal.
Finally, relax, stand still (don’t sway or make any other movements that distract from your speech), and make eye contact with the couple.
So, follow these tips, practice until you feel comfortable, and your speech will be a fantastic success! Good luck!
