Quick question re grooms speech

[Luke.]

Just writing my speech for my wedding next month. Now this might sounds like a stupid question, but is the bride to be aloud to see it before the big day? As I wouldn't mind getting her views on one or two bits and bobs.

Allowed to see it?

Who cares if she does????

[Luke.]

God. Tradition. I don't know.

[sneijder]

She's not allowed to see your two bits and your bob until the wedding night.

[Luke.]

So apart from not being able to see my bits 'n' bobs the night before, anyone got any views?

It's "allowed".

Thanks. It's been a long day. But your answer's slightly ambiguous. Apart from pulling me up on my spelling, which is entirely justified, is it allowed? So to speak.

Never been a groom, but I can't see why not. For starters, she might want to remove something so best to find out now than when she smacks you one when you sit back down.................

[becksW]

Don't see why not, esp if you're the one who is after advice. I'm sure she'd be quite happy to help.

I've not heard anything in the marriage book which says its prohibited, but you might want to consider the element of surprise, particularly with regard to the bits that (presumably) are dedicated to your new wife.

Yay. Three sensible replies in a row.

Of course it's allowed.

Moving on...

You have to toast the bridesmaids.

Remember to heap praise on them...

You know, they look so beautiful you could give them one...

One at a time or all together...

Stuff like that...

It happens occasionally

[plg]

Depends... on how risque you are making it.

I ran the "jokes" past my wife to sense check them, but didn't show her the other stuff.

[Solitude]

she's already got you too scared to act on your own instincts...........rest of your life mate.

Follow this ^ excellent advice!

It's your day, the two of you. You can do whatever you want, say what you want to say, make sure you don't get sidetracked by the expectations of others.

Makes perfect sense to me. Cheers Ewen.

When I did my best man speech I told my brother and (now) sister-in-law they could see it if they wanted to, but I'd rather they didn't as I'd rather it was from the heart rather than what "the big book of weddings" says you should put in there. (though if there's a topic you don't know whether to include you might want to mention it)
Same with showing it to my friends, their input could probably make it a better speech, but it wouldn't be my speech.

That probably doesn't help.

You're getting married, now she gets a say in EVERYTHING.
