What a speech from your stories sounds like

An excerpt as an example. Your speech is written from your own answers.

Bride, example

When I told my grandmother I was getting married, she asked just one question: ‘Can he dance?’ I said yes. That was a lie.

Marc, you've taken fourteen dance lessons since then, secretly, on Tuesday nights after work. We'll soon find out whether it was enough. But first I want to thank the people without whom we wouldn't be standing here.

What this speech needs to do

Your speech has the same backbone as a groom speech: thanks to the people who have been with you, one moment from your story and words spoken directly to your partner. What makes it special is your point of view. You're not describing how you look as a couple from the outside, you're telling what it feels like from the inside.

You don't need to justify giving a speech, and you don't need to play yourself down. Jokes about your looks, your dress or your nerves aren't necessary. One honest sentence carries further than any apology.

How your speech can be structured

  1. Opening: a line that immediately sounds like you.
  2. Thanks: to parents, family, the wedding party and friends, grouped and with a reason.
  3. The story: how you met, or the moment you knew.
  4. The couple: words spoken directly to your partner.
  5. The toast: to the two of you, to the guests or to love, whatever fits you.

If you both speak

If you give one joint speech, your voices alternate: one of you starts the thanks, the other takes the story, and at the end you speak to each other. If you give two speeches one after the other, agree on who thanks whom. That way nobody hears the same list twice.

Common questions

Do brides give speeches?
More and more often, and you don't need a reason. Many brides speak to thank the people around them and to say a few words to their partner, alone or together with them.
How long should my speech be?
We suggest 4 minutes. In the interview you choose anything from 2 to 8 minutes.
Can we speak together as a couple?
Yes. Tell us in the interview that you're giving the speech together. It then alternates between you and shows who says which line.
How do I avoid sounding cheesy?
With details. Instead of “the happiest day of my life”, tell a specific moment: where you were, what was said, what you thought. We leave lines like that out on purpose.
Can I remember someone who isn't here?
Yes. In the interview you can name someone you'd like to remember. The speech does it in one gentle sentence without weighing the evening down.

What you can rely on

Promises you can check before you pay anything.
