When it comes to wedding speeches, some love them, some loathe them. But, they have become a staple at weddings and for good reason. Writing and performing a groom’s speech is a momentous part of a wedding.
So I’ve created a groom speech template you can download, print and use to fill out to help create the structure of your own, personalised speech. As well as top tips and ways to perform your speech to help ease any nerves, so you can actually enjoy the whole experience.

First things first, you don't actually have to have a groom's speech or any wedding speeches for that matter (we didn't at our wedding!). Or you can have joint, couple or group speeches. Let's not forget brides, bridesmaids, mothers of the bride/groom and female guests, can also make a speech too. There are no rules.
