Have to do a wedding speech! HELP!

[grumpybastard]

My eldest son is getting married in a fortnights time so its going to be expected of me to do a speech.

Being generally crap at any form of conversation, im enlisting the help of Aulro!

What makes a good speech?

The only thing i can think of saying currently is "Thank you Sarah for taking him off my hands"

add "woohoo" to the front of your speech and that should just about cover it I think

when my daughter got married the groom's dad prattled on for 15 mins and you could see every one was bored stiff, i got up spoke for about 2 min, got an applause haha, just welcome her to the family and tell her she looks stunning and wish them both a long and happy marriage and thank her for taking him off your hands

Im thinking that the shorter speech, the better (within reason).... my vocabulary wouldn't stretch to 15 mins anyway

Thanks for the tips

does Sarah have a sister. I still have a 32 yo (yes, three two)living at home

Afraid not, which is a shame... she was raised by her Grandparents and is quite sensible and manages to keep the boy inline.

I reckon if you still have a 32yo at home you might be just a little bit to nice....trying being a GrumpyBastard and they will be out the door in no time

It doesn't really matter what you say. It's the kind thoughts you tell.
When you get up there and start your speech, a lot of guests would have had a few drinks and probably won't remember what you say any way.
Your blood pressure will rise and you will feel an uneasy sweat, don't worry, we have all been there before.
After it's all done and that itching feeling leaves your back of your neck and you propose a toast and are glad it is all over and you sit down.
your partner will say you did well.
Then when you later view a video of your speech, you'll realise what a fool you made of yourself, but no body cared

Humour. You make people laugh and they don't care how long you talk for
