The father of the bride’s speech should welcome the quest and thank them for attending the ceremony. He should also talk about how proud he is of his daughter, what a joy she is to him and her mother. He should also mention the groom and welcome him to the family.
The grooms speech should thank the father and mother of the bride, thank all the wedding guest for attending the wedding ceremony, and thank the groomsmen and bridesmaids for all they have done.
