Wedding
Speech Themes
by Hilary Basile
As with writing any other type of speech, you
need to develop a speech topic for a wedding speech. Often, it's best to
choose a theme when writing a wedding speech. Following are popular wedding
speech themes:
Congratulations
This type of speech is congratulatory in
nature. Accentuate the reasons why the event is cause for celebration. This
theme is generally offered by co-workers and casual friends and lasts for no
more than 2 to 3 minutes.
Nostalgic
A nostalgic speech is most appropriate for
family members or close friends. Develop the speech around some of your
personal experiences and remembrances that are more sentimental in nature.
This speech should last about 5 to 7 minutes.
Humor
A humorous speech must be written and delivered
by someone who knows the bride and groom well (as well as their sense of
humor). This theme generally offers funny stories about the couple that you
were a part of, as well as amusing comments or distorted facts. The style of
wedding involved can dictate whether or not this wedding speech theme would be
appropriate. For example, a humor theme will work for a casual wedding but not
necessarily for a formal wedding.
Religious
To properly give a speech around a religious
wedding theme, you need to respect the religion itself. You must use the
correct terms for blessings and words of congratulations. It may be beneficial
to add a special section from religious texts.
Personal
This theme is frequently used by parents and
other married couples. It often involves giving advice to the newly married
couple so that they avoid common mistakes. This theme can be funny or
sentimental.
Poetic
Those that choose this theme will give their
opening and simply read a poem that they feel best applies to the couple's
marriage. This theme works best with romantic-themed ceremonies and
receptions.
Whichever wedding speech theme you opt for,
make sure you rehearse it in front of others prior to the wedding day to
ensure it is appropriate.
