Groom Speech Examples That Work
Here are proven examples of how to nail the most important parts of your groom speech:
"Thank you all for being here today. Looking out at all of your faces - family, friends, people who've traveled from near and far - I'm overwhelmed by how much love is in this room. Sarah and I are so grateful you chose to spend this special day with us."
"Sarah, you're the kindest, most compassionate person I know. You make me want to be a better man every single day. You laugh at my terrible jokes, you support my dreams, and somehow you convinced me that I deserve someone as wonderful as you."
"So please, everyone, join me in raising your glasses to my beautiful wife, Sarah. Here's to love, laughter, and happily ever after. Cheers!"
Common Groom Speech Mistakes to Avoid
Your guests want to celebrate, not listen to a novel. Stick to 3-5 minutes maximum.
Make a list beforehand: parents, wedding party, anyone who helped plan, special guests who traveled far.
Practice out loud multiple times. Have water nearby. Slow down - everyone wants you to succeed.
This is your chance to honor your bride and thank your loved ones. Make them the stars of your speech.
Even if you're a natural speaker, have key points written down. Wedding day nerves are real.

Frequently Asked Questions
Traditionally, the groom speaks after the father of the bride but before the best man. However, modern weddings often place the groom's speech wherever it fits best in the reception timeline. Coordinate with your wedding planner or MC.
Aim for 3-5 minutes maximum. Your speech is important, but remember that guests are excited to celebrate, dance, and enjoy the reception. A heartfelt, concise speech is more impactful than a long one.
It's perfectly normal and expected for grooms to get emotional! Take a moment to breathe, have water nearby, and remember that your guests are rooting for you. A few tears just show how much this day means to you.
Having notes is completely fine and recommended! You can memorize key parts but keep note cards or your phone handy as backup. Wedding day nerves can make even confident speakers forget their words.
You don't need to name every single person, but do acknowledge key groups: both sets of parents, your wedding party, and any special guests who traveled far or helped significantly with the wedding.
Coordinate with your bride to avoid repetition. You might focus more on thanking guests and families, while she focuses on the wedding party and friends. Or split the thanks and both talk about your love story from different perspectives.
