Typical reception programs
require the parents of the bride and groom to say some things about
the newly wed couple. Naturally, the bride and the groom and the
best man also have turns in speaking in front of families, friends,
and guests. The bride and groom
speech are usually the highlights of the reception
program.
Although the bride speech does not follow a certain structure,
groom speech encompasses certain parts. Traditions suggest the
following parts of a groom speech.
First, the groom must begin by welcoming everyone who exerted much
of their time and effort in coming to their wedding.
