However, most brides want their speech from their father to be serious, and deep
from the heart. This is not to say you can’t make a light-hearted remark to lift
the mood in the room, but the overall tone of the speech should not be humorous.
To begin, address the audience. Thank everyone for attending the wedding, and
for supporting your daughter and new son in law on their memorable day. Once
you’ve thanked the audience, you can begin to address your daughter.
When you begin to talk about your daughter, it truly needs to come from the
heart. You can begin by commenting on how beautiful your daughter looks. You can
go deeper into that comment, saying how you’ve never seen her look more
beautiful than she does today.
Next, launch completely into your speech. Beginning with talking about when she
was born, or a little girl will help give the audience a sense of how much you
care for your “little girl.” This also helps give the audience a sense of how
you’ve watched her grow and change over the years, which is what you should
address next in your speech. Once you have talked about when she was younger,
illustrate how she has grown and changed over the years, by over coming
obstacles and how she has gained a sense of who she is as a person.
You can
conclude this part of your speech by telling her how proud you are of her for
growing into such a beautiful woman. Giving the audience and your daughter an
overall sense of how “daddy’s little girl” has grown from playing with dolls
into a mature, radiant young woman will truly hit hard with the audience and
your daughter.
To conclude, you should talk about your daughter’s new relationship. Speak about
how you felt when you first met the groom. You can also relate how you believe
there is no one better for your daughter, and that you know she will be happy
for the rest of her life. To end your speech, tell your daughter how deeply
happy you are for her, and give her your blessing.
This father of the bride speech should come deep from your heart and soul. Each
word should be well thought and prepared. In the end, the audience and your
daughter should be left with a warm feeling that you truly love your daughter
and are deeply happy for her.
