We thank you for this place in which we dwell,
for the love that unites us,
for the peace accorded us this day,
for the hope with which we expect the morrow,
for the health, the work, the food,
and the bright skies that make our lives delightful;
for our friends in all parts of the earth.
Amen
Parents of the bride.
`Thank you Ladies and Gentlemen. Please be on your feet as we welcome the bridal party. Put your hands together for our hosts, the mother and father of the bride. As you all know, the day your little girl gets married is the happiest day of the century for every doting parent and don†™ t they look radiant? Thank you Brian & Lily Walker, we can see where the bride got her good looks from. I†™ m not saying which, you both look wonderful tonight.†™ (wide applause)
`And now, here come the parents of the groom, looking happy and proud. Please welcome Michael & Maria McGregor. Derek†™ s parents just got back from trekking in Nepal to be here for their son†™ s wedding. A big hand for Michael & Maria McGregor, Parents of the Groom.†™
`And now we come to the Matron of Honor, Meagan McGregor. It†™ s been said that Meagan is chosen for her ability to outthink, outrun and generally outwrestle anything with up to eight legs that stands in the way of a smooth-running wedding. In Meagan†™ s case, she†™ s also the Bride†™ s Auntie. A tremendous grip on the woman as well! Let†™ s hear it for Auntie Meagan.†™ (wide applause)
`Now we come to our Best Man, Ladies and Gentlemen, Orlando Jones by name. The Best Man isn†™ t just there to pass the ring to the groom. He†™ s there to put his body on the line for his best friend. Greater love hath no man, they say. He also assures us, he really is the best man. We can†™ t wait for his speech and wise counsel. Let†™ s hear it for Orlando.†™ (wide applause)
`Now we come to the Bridesmaids and Groomsmen. They are the understudies for the Bride and Groom. If the Bride and Groom chickened out, it†™ d be two of you tying the knot in their place! There†™ s a sobering thought.†™
`So without further ado and just a little nepotism, we have Winona†™ s younger sister Emmeline Walker our first bridesmaid. Gentlemen, Emmeline is single and taking a break from her career as a ballerina to concentrate on bringing home a gold medal at the next Olympics for gymnastics. Let†™ s hear it for wee Emmeline!†™ (wide applause)
`Our second bridesmaid, Mary Jo Zimakowski has known Winona since they were in high school together and as usual, Mary Jo says she has Winona†™ s back. Let†™ s hear it for Mary Jo.†™ (more applause)
`Our last bridesmaid has watched `Twenty Seven Dresses†™ five times. This is her twelfth time as a bridesmaid and she†™ s running out of wardrobe space. Let†™ s hear it for Daniela Pavelic. Hope you catch the bouquet Daniela.†™ (wide applause)
`Our first groomsman is Michael McGregor Junior. Michael, or Junior as big brother Derek calls him, is seventeen. He†™ s single, six foot four and 250 pounds. His interests are rap music and wrestling. Don†™ t anyone let him near a microphone tonight, folks. Let†™ s hear it for Junior. ‘ (wide applause)
`Our next groomsman is Jim Mellor. Our Jimmy†™ s a hairdresser who specializes in some of the more exotic punk rock styles you might see in the music industry. Imagine a cross between Salvador Dali and Edward Scissorhands. Jimmy also did our bride†™ s hair tonight. Nice job, by the way. A big hand for our second Groomsman! ‘ (applause)
`Our last groomsman, Alan Peterson has known our Groom, Derek ever since they got arrested for brawling at a football match over ten years ago. It†™ s amazing the things that bring people together. Let†™ s have a big hand for Alan our third groomsman.†™
`And now the big moment, Ladies and Gentleman, our bride and groom Winona and Derek! Doesn†™ t she look beautiful? She†™ s been practising her bouquet-throwing and hopes to give a good account of herself when the moment comes. As for the groom, look at him! He scrubs well for a guy who gets into football brawls, doesn†™ t he? Ladies and Gentleman, a big hand for Winona and Derek!†™ . (wide applause)
`Ladies and Gentlemen, please take your seats as we hear a few words a prayer of thanks for God†™ s grace from our host, the Father of the Bride – Brian Walker!†™
(Dinner is served)
Now all of those taking pictures, be sure you†™ re ready for the photo-opportunity. Derek make sure you have a firm hand on the cake with your beloved bride. ‘ (the cake is cut)
`Thank you Ladies and Gentlemen.†™
Bridal waltz - first dance.
`Ladies and Gentlemen, we now come to that very special part of every wedding party, steeped in symbolism. The Bridal Waltz. This is the moment when the groom walks his bride to the dance floor and they begin a dance that will last the rest of their lives. Put your hands together for Winona and Derek as they begin their special waltz as husband and wife.†™
I†™ d like to request all the single ladies to step forward for the bouquet throw. The married ladies who†™ ve sneaked on, don†™ t be greedy. This is for single women only. Our lovely and charming bride Winona has been practising this throw all summer, so give yourselves some elbow room.†™
(to the bride) `Winona, if you†™ d be so kind…..†™
(INSTRUCTIONS: Emcee bravely motions all the
single ladies forward)
`Ladies take your place behind the bride and be prepared to jump high. Fortune favors the brave! At the count of three, the bride will throw her bouquet. Ladies and gentlemen, let†™ s all count together.
Are you ready Ladies? Would you just look at the concentration. There†™ s some determined women out there. The countdown! One, Two, Three! What a throw, ladies and gentlemen.†™
(Bride throws the bouquet and it is caught)
We have a winner! We†™ ll have the Best Man cleaned and brought to your table later.
Now while the groom retrieves the garter, don†™ t let any of those garter jumpers melt into the crowd.
We have the garter. Get ready gentlemen.
(Groom throws the garter and it is caught)
We have another winner! We have the next groom. I hope that preacher hasn†™ t left the room. Let†™ s hear it for our winners. (wide applause)
Ladies and Gentlemen, please stand by for a few words of thanks from our new Groom, Derek McGregor.
Well I guess that†™ s about everything ladies and gentlemen we have finally come to the end of our program. It has been a great day and a wonderful evening with you all. Again thank you all for your presence. God bless and Goodnight to each and everyone.

Don't leave anyone or anything important off your list of thank yous.
The groom's wedding speech is often about covering all bases. It doesn't have the bravado and general LOLs of a best man speech , the gushing and poignant words of a bridesmaid speech, or all the nostalgia and tear-jerking words of a father of the bride or groom speech. Instead, a groom's speech is half admin, half emotion; kind of like an Oscar acceptance! A chance to shout out the wedding party, thank the ushers, and tell your new in-laws how chuffed you are to be part of the family. To help you write your speech - and to make sure you don't leave anyone out - we've put together a handy groom's wedding speech checklist . You'll thank us later!
A groom doing a speech solo is more common, but we've also seen lots of couples do their thank you speech together , as well as brides making speeches too ( more ladies on the mic please !). Our list covers all bases and standard family structures, but tweak it as is appropriate for you. Hopefully it comes in handy whatever kind of wedding thank you speech you're making.
(In no particular order, but this order makes for a nice crescendo!)

Being a parent is an excitingly unpredictable adventure. Reaching the point where your kids start getting married is, to say the least, overwhelming. As a mother of the groom, you have a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to add a dash of humor, a pinch of nostalgia, and a whole lot of love to your son’s big day.
The key to a successful and beautiful speech at a wedding is finding the balance between heartfelt sentiment and lighthearted fun. Below are three examples of funny mother-of-the-groom speeches, followed by a guide and some tips for how to write one.
First of all, from the bottom of my heart, I’d like to thank the bar staff for dutifully keeping my glass of Champagne at just the right level of fullness so I could get through this speech without any trouble.
Now, for those of you who don’t know me, my name is Karen, the proudest and loudest mom from this side of Michigan. I’m the one who raised this charming, sweet, and intelligent young man we’re all celebrating tonight. Now, was he always this way? I’ll let his dad do the talking on that.
I remember the day I gave birth to Robert—who we still called Bobby at the time—I looked into his eyes and thought, “Wow, you have your father’s eyes… and lips… and nose… what the hell were my genes doing?!”
But all kidding aside, raising our little Bobby was nothing but a joy. All your misbehavior and “adventures” at the time might have been stressful, but at least I’ve got all these stories to tell now.
I’ve watched Bobby grow from a frog-chasing, mud-pie-making, video-game-playing lanky boy into this fine man standing before us. And I could not be any prouder.
When Robert was little, he said his dream was to marry a princess from a faraway land. I’ll let y’all decide whether Minnesota is far enough, but Christine, you’re as close as it gets to royalty in his eyes. And I must say, I agree.
Christine, you are such a wonderful, caring, and kind young woman. All of Robert’s nieces and nephews love you—probably more than they love Robert, honestly! But who wouldn’t? Thank you for choosing my son. If he ever starts fumbling, let me know, okay? We will straighten everything out quickly.
Anyway, with that said, welcome to our tiny family! We’re loud, we’re nosy, and we’re all here because we love you two so much.
To end my speech, I’d like to offer some sage advice. Robert, for the love of God, please remember to put the toilet seat down. And Christine, well, just remember that Robert’s doing his best. You two stay kind and patient to each other now more than ever, you hear?
Everyone, let’s raise our glasses to love, laughter, and a happy ever after as wonderful as they both are. Cheers!
2. Hi, everyone.
For those of you who have no idea who I am, I’m Maria, the mother of the man over there who looks like he’s dreading what I might say in this little speech of mine.
Firstly, let’s give a round of applause to the newlyweds for looking so fabulous today! I mean, with the trademark Fuentes family genes, would you expect anything else?
Now, let’s talk about my son. The man of the hour. As a kid, he had two big ambitions: to become an astronaut and to avoid eating vegetables for the rest of his life. You may not have gone to the moon, and we may have force-fed you broccoli, but some doors close so others can open.
As a teenager, Juan would always say, “I’ll never get married. I’ll be a cool bachelor forever and spoil all my nieces and nephews.” Fast forward to today… we all know how that went! But honestly, who can blame Juan?
My daughter-in-law, Sasha, is such a catch. What a gorgeous, brilliant, and intelligent woman! She’s learning all my recipes one by one and outdoing me! Soon she’ll take over the world, and no one can stop her. Not even Juan.
But in all seriousness, Sasha, I’ve never seen my son as happy as he is whenever he’s with you. And for that, I am eternally grateful.
I have just one piece of advice about my son: he’s allergic to housework. It makes him break out in excuses. If I were you, I’d keep an “EpiPen” handy.
Just kidding. Jokes aside, love is not about how many days, months, or years you have been together. It’s about how much you love each other every day. And if all else fails, remember, a good sense of humor and a bottle of wine can solve just about anything.
So, let’s raise our glasses to Mr. and Mrs. Fuentes! May your life together be full of love, laughter, and unforgettable memories. Cheers to the newlyweds!
3. Ladies and gentlemen,
I’m Carol, Tom’s mom. I’ve known him for a long time—well, since birth, actually. In many ways, he hasn’t changed at all: he’s still a bit of a picky eater, still loves superhero movies, and still needs a gentle nudge to do housework.
When Tom was little, he had three goals in life: to eat candy for every meal, to become a dinosaur, and to stay up past 10 PM. I’m proud to say that he’s achieved at least one of those. I’ll let you all guess which one.
I remember when he started dating—a parent’s worst nightmare, I know. He came to me for advice. I told him, “Be yourself, be respectful, be safe, and whatever you do, do NOT show her your collection of weird socks on the first date.” Jenny, I apologize if he didn’t follow that last piece of advice.
All jokes aside, the day Tom introduced Jenny to all of us, he was lit up with a brightness that we’d never seen before. That’s when we all knew that she was the one.
Tom and Jenny, I’m sure you’ve already heard all the clichéd things about married life being hard. Being a rollercoaster. All that jazz. So I’ll just say this: marriage is like a fine wine, it gets better with age. And this fine bottle of wine can only get better with age if you both handle it with care and don’t drop it.
So, let’s raise our glasses to Mr. and Mrs. Wilson-Whitaker, a match made in heaven! Thanks for being a reminder that love, laughter, and a good sense of humor can make any marriage a joyous adventure. Here’s to a lifetime of happiness and love. Cheers!
The key to writing a funny speech as a mother of the groom is having a lot of anecdotes, characteristics, and memories related to your son. Gather all of these points by spending a lot of time reflecting.
Reminisce on childhood stories, teenage phases, and other significant milestones. Focus on humorous and endearing memories or any tale that shows his personality traits.
Preparing an outline can help you organize your thoughts, making the speech easier to write. Here is an outline you can follow:
Remember that your audience will be diverse. When incorporating humor, make sure it is appropriate for all ages and understandable by everyone —this means no inside jokes that only you and your children will get.
In the same vein, respect your son’s and daughter-in-law’s boundaries. Do not share any stories that could embarrass them.
Starting a speech—or any writing project for that matter—can be intimidating. However, just put all your thoughts down into words. Do not worry about perfection or conciseness at this point in the process.
Since you want to write a funny speech as the mother of the groom, you have to sprinkle your speech with appropriate humor. Although jokes will be a large part of this, there are other ways to make your speech even funnier:
Getting your timing right when delivering jokes is also crucial. Know how to read your audience in real-time—see if they will be receptive to jokes. Likewise, pausing at the right moment, such as before or after a punchline, can add more impact to your speech.
Once you have written all that you want to write, it is time to start revising. Watch out for any grammatical errors, long sentences, and awkward phrases. This is your opportunity to rewrite parts that sound unnatural or unfunny.
This process might take several do-overs. Be patient and kind to yourself as you go through multiple revisions.
Read your speech out loud. This is important not only for the delivery but also for spotting any errors during your revision.
In terms of delivery, reading your speech out loud multiple times will get you used to delivering it. For instance, you can work on your intonation and find spots where you should pause.
Ask people you trust—such as your partner or other children—to listen to your speech. Doing so has multiple benefits:
You can edit and revise your speech according to the feedback you receive. As mentioned above, revisions will take multiple times—asking others for help will make the process easier.
Although you want to write a funny mother of the groom speech, not everyone is a natural comedian. If you feel awkward delivering jokes and being sarcastic, take a step back and focus more on sentimentality—if that is what you are comfortable with. You can sprinkle some humor into your speech afterward.
When faced with the responsibility of giving a speech, it is easy to feel overwhelmed. You might even want to back out.
However, at the end of the day, you do not have to be anything other than your son’s parent. As the last tip says, be authentic. Use these funny mother of the groom speech examples to guide you, but personalize the details and the stories to make it true to yourself and your relationship with your son.

Mother of the groom speech tips & ideas.
Are you a proud mama of the groom and on the brink of giving one of the most memorable speeches at your son’s wedding? Don’t feel intimidated. Giving a mother of the groom speech shouldn’t be an overwhelming experience.
Begin your wedding speech with an engaging opening that captures the attention of the audience. Share a touching story about your son or a heartfelt quote that represents the essence of love and family.
For example, you could say,
“Ladies and gentlemen, let’s raise a glass to my son. From the moment he was born, I knew he was destined for greatness, and today, as he embarks on this new chapter of his life, my heart overflows with joy.”
or you can add a bit of an ice breaker by saying;
“As I looked at my son today, it’s hard to believe that the same little boy who used to put mustard instead of ketchup on his hotdog is now here getting married. Times have certainly changed!” You can start off with some light humour to show your excitement for this special occasion.
Take a moment to reflect on the cherished memories you’ve shared with your son throughout his life. Share stories that showcase his unique qualities, such as his kindness, determination, or sense of adventure.
“As a mother, I have seen my son grow into the incredible man that he is today. From the moment he could walk and talk, my son has had an inquisitive mind and endless energy. He’s always been full of stories – from his first day at school to his high school prom night.” or; “My son is an amazing young man and I am so proud of all that he has achieved. He always had a passion for life, be it playing sports or academics or even his hobbies – he embraces them all with enthusiasm.”
Let your audience relive those precious moments with you, like the time you both embarked on a spontaneous road trip and discovered the true meaning of adventure!
Inject humour into your speech by recounting amusing quirks or parent-child moments that have brought laughter to your lives. Share light-hearted anecdotes about parenting challenges or funny misunderstandings.
Just make sure that the humor is affectionate and won’t embarrass your son.
For instance, you could talk about how you used to sing off-key lullabies to soothe him to sleep or the time he tried to make breakfast and ended up burning the toast.
You could also say;
“I remember when my son was young, he was always trying to build things out of anything he could find. He would come up with the craziest ideas – like building a treehouse from wood planks and old sheets! I used to supervise him as best as I could but it didn’t stop us from having fun.”
“My son and I have always had a special bond, but there were certainly times when our relationship was tested. He was always trying to get away with mischief, like sneaking out after curfew or trying to persuade me into buying extravagant gadgets!”
One idea for a mother of the groom speech is to express your profound love and pride for your son. Speak from the heart and share how he has grown into an exceptional individual. Highlight his virtues, accomplishments, and the values he embodies.
“To my dearest son, you have brought immense joy and pride to my life. Your kindness, empathy, and resilience inspire me every day, and I couldn’t be prouder of the person you have become.”
“My son, you have made me so proud. Every day I witness the wonderful person you are becoming and I want to thank you for being my little miracle.”
We’ve all heard of stories about mumzillas and bridezillas berating each other. But let’s keep the Pandora’s box close and take this opportunity to welcome the lovely bride into your family. Share how she has changed your son’s life for the better and express your sincere gratitude towards her.
For instance, you could say;
“My son’s face lights up with joy when he talks about his now wife. I’m so thankful that she has added love and happiness to his life. She has shown him that it’s okay to take risks and have faith in the future.”
“My son is so blessed to have a wife like her – she is kind, loving, and always puts him first. It’s evident that they are meant for each other and I’m sure they will live happily ever after.”
Make sure to let the bride knows that she is welcomed into your family with open arms!
Another idea for mother of the groom speech is show them who’s the boss by offering up your own words of wisdom! Provide marriage advice that is both humorous and meaningful.
You could say,
“I want to offer some sage advice from a wise woman who has been married for many years – communication is key! Talk openly with each other and never be afraid to air out your grievances. If she wants the cake, buy the goddamn cake! If he insists on watching football, let him watch soccer!”
“No marriage is perfect. But if you can take the time to understand each other and make compromises, your bond will only become stronger with time.”
Conclude your mother of the groom speech with a heartfelt message of love, hope, and well wishes for the couple’s future.
Express your love for your son once again and let him know that your support is unwavering.
Leave the audience with a sense of optimism and excitement for the couple’s journey.
“As I look at the two of you, I can’t help but be filled with hope for your future. Let this day be just the beginning of all of the wonderful adventures that awaits you!
So let us all raise a toast – to my son and his beautiful bride!”
Now it’s time to crack open that bubbly and celebrate the union of two beautiful souls! Your son’s wedding is a day to be remembered – one that will stay close to your heart for years to come. Enjoy every moment of it and savor the memories you create together. Your speech should be a reflection of your love and admiration for the couple, and should be filled with words that will resonate in their hearts forever!
