Another Groom’s Speech Example

Here is another of our popular fill-in-the-blanks wedding speeches.

Firstly I would like to say a massive thank-you from my wonderful new wife and me for joining us on this very special occasion here today.

Since meeting (Wife’s name) people keep asking me, how did you know that she was the one for you? And tell me how you feel when you look into her eyes. The truth is that the feeling is so intense that I hardly know where to start. I sat down for hours on end trying to write my feelings down, but everything that I wrote didn’t seem to do it justice. After trying to write my feelings down, I went to see her, and as soon as I looked into her eyes, I knew exactly what to say.

My heart started pounding to the extent that I thought it was going to leap out of my chest, and for the first time in a long time, I got nervous and scared when I looked at her. My mind was thinking of a million different things at the same time and a smile came upon my face, one that hasn’t been removed since the day I met her. Then (Wife) looked at me and said the three magic words that nearly brought me to tears. I love you. As if my feelings weren’t all over the place already, they started singing songs in my head.

So how do I feel when I look into her eyes? Truth be told, I am scared, weak at the knees and like a young child. She makes me feel complete, and so happy I don’t know where to start to explain it. And when I look into her eyes, I see the most beautiful person inside and out, and one that I feel so lucky to be with, it hurts.

(Wife) has given me a new lease of life. Made me feel better than I ever thought possible. She fills me with happiness and an endless love that if I multiplied it a million times, would be not enough to repay. And when (Wife) agreed to marry me, I could have fainted I was that excited and happy. I just hope that I make her as happy as she makes me.

So after the last (amount of time you have been together) do I believe in love at first sight and a love so true that it hurts me inside? Yes. Now I do.

(Looks at his new wife, maybe takes her hand)

(Wife), you make me so happy and complete that I feel I can never give you what you are giving to me. But I promise you this, from the moment that I open my eyes in a morning, to the moment I close them on a night, and all the hours in between, I will do everything in my power to make you truly happy. Whatever it takes I am willing to do. Every vow that I made to you today I meant with all of my heart, and they will be as true in one hundred years time as they are today. (Wife), I truly love you. Thank you for being you. I love you just as you are so don’t ever change into someone you are not.

Finally, a last thank-you to the best man, the father of the bride and the bridesmaids for their speeches today, and thank you to everyone for their contributions that have made today such a marvellous occasion.

Please all join me as I raise my glass to the bride, the one I love with all my heart. The bride.
