Father of the bride speech
Discussion
Hi All,
Mr 13th is very much looking forward to giving his "little girl" away and thinks her choice of husband is brilliant and their baby boy a little star.
However he's madly run off his feet so despite his best intentions all will be left to the last min (wedding In two weeks!!!!) so I want to help him out with the speach but that's not really a step mothers place.
Nonetheless in the last panic I would like to be able to offer some assistance;
Previous proud fathers ideas please and I'll send you some wedding cake

Son in Law is so much better than all those other men she would traipse in every night since her 14th. After the first couple of hundred I wondered if she would ever find a man to settle down with but am so glad that SinL has been able to fill the breach no other seemed to manage.
Should go down a storm.
Genuine Hahaha but no; despite all my influence she was a very good girl Should go down a storm.

Ladies and Gentleman and Friends of my daughter. There comes a
time in every wedding reception when the man who paid for the damn thing
is allowed to speak a word or two of his own. And I should like to take
this opportunity, schloshed as I may be, to say a word or two about Martin.
As far as I'm concerned. my daughter could not have chosen a more
delightful, charming, witty, responsible... wealthy? Let's not deny it....
well-placed, good-looking and fertile young man than Martin as her husband.
And I therefore ask the question... why the hell did she marry Gerald
instead?
Because Gerald is the sort of man we used to describe at school as a
complete prick. If I may use a gardening simile here, if his entire
family may be likened to a compost heap... and I think they can...
then Gerald is the biggest weed growing out of it. I think he is the
sort of man people emigrate to avoid.
I remember the first time I met Gerald. I said to my wife... she's the
lovely woman propping up that horrendous old lush of a mother of his...
either this man is suffering from serious brain damage, or the new vacuum
cleaner has arrived. As for his family, they are quite simply the most
intolerable herd of steaming social animals I have ever had this misfortune
of turning my nose up to. I spurn you as I would spurn a rabid dog!
I would like to propose a toast.... to the caterers. And to the pigeon
who crapped on the groom's families limousine at the church. As for the
rest of you around this table not directly related to me, you can f
k off!
I wouldn't trust any of you to sit the right way on a toilet seat!
I love my stepdaughter too much or I would slip Mr 13th that speach, and how long through considering nerves etc would he realise!!!? but I think I would be the only one laughing!!!http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-N1sjdLQIj8

(also luckily she has chosen a fantastic husband, as luckily my stepson chose a wonderful wife; I'm a step grandmother of 4, brings a tear to my eye) Oh just weddings! spook me!

Cut him some slack, stop being a control freak. I was best man for my brother last Friday, I wrote my speech the day before the wedding... and I wrote his half an hour before he delivered it. I'm not even joking. The moral of the tale is, two weeks is plenty, let him do it himself.
I'm no control freak. Freak maybe, control is not a word I'm familiar with. I know that he thinks his only daughters wedding is terribly important, he will write his speach I just wanted to give him some ideas to be getting on with.
He wrote a speach for our wedding 20 years ago and lost it; I will never forget that look of total terror.
