Wedding Speeches. If you’re following tradition, there is a set order in which the speakers are introduced Usually, the toastmaster and master of the cere- monies will introduce the speeches at the end of the meal. The formal order of speakers is: • father of the bride (or a close family friend) • groom • best man


If the to


bridesmaid or guests want


bride, chief speak, that’s


great too! Where they go is up to you. Often it’s before the best man and after the groom. Traditionally, the speeches take place after the


meal, but


some couples decide to have them beforehand to allow the speakers to enjoy their meal free of nerves.


Father of The Bride. The brides father should be called upon by the toastmaster (or the best man) to propose a toast of 'health and


happiness to the bride and


bridegroom'. Before doing so he would normally welcome the grooms parents, relatives of both fami- lies any other guests and welcome the groom to his family and say a few words about his daughter.
