Be sure to mention if you\u2019re the <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">mother of the bride<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, a <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">bridesmaid<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, a <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">best friend<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, or a family member.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>A moment of thanks<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: Take a quick moment to thank the host of the wedding for putting this special event together.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Pick a theme or subject<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: This is probably the hardest part of the <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">wedding speech<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. To make it easier, think about the couple and which words come to mind when you think of their love. Are they silly? Adventurous? Or maybe fate seemed destined to bring them together against all odds? Figure out what defines the couple and build a speech around that. You can also choose to describe how you witnessed their love story unfold.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Incorporate memories<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: Once you know the general theme of what you\u2019ll be saying, think of specific memories that bring the theme to life. The best toasts in a wedding are those that feel personal, so include details where you can.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Come to a conclusion<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: Some people \u2014 especially those who didn\u2019t plan out a speech \u2014 tend to drone on. Avoid this by tying everything together in a conclusion. How did these memories and moments bring you to this day? Answer that briefly and you\u2019ll have a coherent speech.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Congratulate and wish the <\/b><b>newlyweds<\/b><b> well<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: Wrap it up with <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">well wishes<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> for the <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">newlyweds<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, including a lifetime of <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">true love<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, happiness, and more.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>End with a toast<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Raise your glass<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and ask the guests to toast the couple in honor of the <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">big day<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.
