This beautiful father of the bride speech was written by Mia’s Father. After hearing the speech, we asked for a copy of it. Hope this gives you some inspiration for your speech. Some of the quotes –
“Love is a mystery, the most profound mystery of existence maybe”
“I love you – ti voglio bene. Which means literally not I want you or like you but I want good for you.”
“The marriage of true minds, and hearts, of Mia & Tim bearing it out beyond what any of us can foresee.
Traditionally, at the reception, the bride’s father is the first one to make a speech to the wedding guests. Closely followed by the best man and groom, the father of the bride is usually seen as a bit of a warm-up act, and something to be endured rather than enjoyed. However, with a little effort you can make sure your moment in the spotlight is something to be remembered.
The Father of the Bride speech should be personal and heart-warming and should sound up lifting about his daughter and son-in-law’s future. Your speech should begin by thanking the guests for attending and should acknowledge the Groom’s parents whilst welcoming your new son-in-law to the family.
When preparing your speech, think about what you want to say to your daughter; it may include your bond with her, special memories of her as a child and watching her grow in to the beautiful woman she is today. You can incorporate some funny anecdotes but be sure not to include anything that would embarrass her! If you know the Groom well, you can add a few stories of him too; however, he will get a lot of focus in the Best Man’s speech so you can dedicate this time to your daughter.
You may want to talk about relationships and give some tips to the newly weds. Keep it light and avoid any pessimistic views from spoiling the occasion.
Good luck! Once you have delivered your Father of the Bride speech, you can send us a copy and we’ll add it to our examples to help others.
