My Father Wedding Speech - A Struggle
It's not easy to write a speech for your daughters wedding, but if you have a son or a daughter then one day you will stand before the same dilemma I did.
For a whole month I tried to write one single page but I just couldn't get it right.
The day of the wedding started to get closer and closer and I realized I needed help.
I started surfing online looking for speeches but they were mostly bad written ones but I took a few and tried to get a "best of" collection, taking stuff from different speeches.
That did not work very well and I realized I had to go at it another way and from a different angle.
But once again, I was not getting anywhere with my speech and I got more and more frustrated.
But then I thought about maybe not to try and copy what other people have done, but to get help on how to write my own speech.
After all it was my own daughter I stood in front of, I didn't want to just say things because you're supposed to.
I wanted to say things from my heart and things I really meant.
And soon enough I found a few websites that looked promising, so I picked out a few and finally I found the one I was looking for.
Things looked up quickly and suddenly I was well on the way of writing my father wedding speech.
A few rules of conduct:
But the truth is that there is no wrong or right.
Every bride and every groom is different.
The speech is for them, not you or me.
So as a final "rule", write the speech for the couple that's getting married and not for anyone else.
By the way, my speech was very good and I even got my own daughter to cry, try and beat that guys!

A few rules of conduct:
- Never embarrass the bride or the groom
- If you use jokes, be sure they are nice
- Make sure you know it by heart
- Don't improvise, the original is better
- Keep a list of all your keywords, this way you won't get totally lost
