If You Are One of the Couple
If you are either the husband or the wife, you should thank all of the guests
for coming to celebrate 50 years of marriage with you. You should then express
your gratitude to your spouse for hanging in there with you for all of these
years. Share a story or some feelings with your spouse and your friends and
family about a particularly inspiring time, loving time, difficult time, or a
moment of levity in the 50 years of marriage that you think is appropriate. You
can present your spouse with a gift during your speech as well, which is a great
way to end your golden anniversary speech!
Where to Start
Starting a speech can be very difficult, so the best way to start off is with
a brief introduction of yourself if you are not the husband or the wife. For
instance, you don’t need to give your entire background you can simply say, “Hi,
I’m Jane. I am a long time friend of Bill and Nancy and am so glad to be here
today.” This will give the other guests that are at the party some idea of who
you are and why you would want to give a speech at all!
What to Say
50 years of marriage, what do you say? If you are married, thank the couple
for being an inspiration to you and your spouse. Thank them for sticking
together and being two people that everyone could count on. You can tell the
couple that you hope that your marriage can be as strong after 50 years as you
know that theirs is now. If you have one, share a cute story that you think
demonstrates the strength and beauty of the couple’s love. You can also present
the couple with a gift, a framed picture, or a framed piece of scripture or a
poem during your speech. The point of the speech is just to convey how happy you
are for the couple for sticking together for 50 years, as well as to express
what an inspiration they are to married people everywhere.
How to Close
Closing the speech can be the most difficult part after starting! The best
thing you can do is say congratulations and that you hope to celebrate many more
anniversaries, golden or no, and thank them for sharing their day with you. The closing
needn’t be anything extravagant, and there will likely be someone that will
follow you in their congratulating the married couple for their 50th wedding
anniversary.
