Benefit of using Example Templates

When trying to put together my own wedding speech, I didn’t make use of other sample speeches as a pattern until very late in the game – they would have saved me a lot of time.  I really did the things the hard way – and hopefully you will be able to save yourself that trouble.  Good samples can really jumpstart your thinking about your own speeches content and style – I recommend using them highly.

Remember that just because you are using another’s sample as a blueprint, you are not copying everything verbatim – in other words, use what you find as a guide – you want to make the speech totally, entirely your own.

Fortunately, good wedding speech outlines are just that outlines, with fill-in-the blank type of a format.  You have to come up with the detail about:

Those whom you are going to say thanks to

Funny stories about you and your fiancé (tasteful – not embarrassing)

Your feels about this huge day

etc.

Another great benefit of the groom speech layouts is that they helped me to stay focused – my mind tends to get lost in detail.  If wander when you talk, like me, have a structured outline will help you stay on target – which is a benefit for you and your guests.   You don’t want to bore them!
