Toast To The Bride

Why I Created “Toast To The Bride”

For nearly two decades of videoing weddings I have gotten to share in this most joyful day with countless families. Nearly all weddings are wonderful events where most things go according to plans and the things that don’t just create laughter. Except for the speeches!

It seems most people have tremendous fear of public speaking and therefore put off preparing for their toast to the bride. The result is, much too often, painful long minutes of listening someone who’s had a little too much to drink say thoroughly embarrassing things. The important things never get said and people will be wincing for years to come at how Uncle Sal or Joe Bob make a complete ass of themselves.

It doesn’t have to be this way because giving a wedding speech is actually very easy. If one knows the basic rules, anyone could give a perfect, charming wedding speech that everyone would applaud with no more than 30 minutes preparation.

I’m going to attempt to outline what you need to know in this blog. If you find yourself with only hours to go before the wedding and no speech in hand then I suggest you get the little book you can see in the right hand column of this blog. Get it for two reasons: It is an small electronic book that you can be reading three minutes from now, and it is a really good book.

They actually sell you a version especially written for the exact speech you are going to be giving. For example “father of the bride”, “best man”, etc. In each version of the book you will find many complete speeches that you can customize in minutes, or if you have a little more time you can learn what the basic elements are that need to go into the speech and put together your own presentation that will fulfill all the rules of etiquette while leaving everyone feeling good about you and the wedding.

Here’s one more reason to buy the wedding speeches books I recommend. After you buy a book they will tell you how you can help them sell more books and they will pay you a commission for each book you sell. I loved the wedding speeches books I own and love that I can make a little money by helping other people.

There is no excuse for becoming a legend of bad wedding speeches, imortalized forever on video, when you can instead be a star of the day with the perfect comments that the bride and groom will cherish.
