It''s now time for the bridegroom's speech.
It''s the part of the day I have dreaded,
but convention decrees I must do it.
It''s the price that you pay to get wedded.

Conventional speeches are boring
I can't think of much that is worse
So I've decided to flout convention
And deliver this speech all in verse

To assist you in keeping awake
And staying quite fully alert
I intend this speech to resemble
An extremely short mini skirt

Just long enough to cover
The things that I'd like revealing
But short enough to attract
Your attention because it''s appealing

I'll keep this speech very short
And I trust you''ll not find that I'm wrong
As King Henry VIII said to his wives
I shall not be keeping you long.

Well the wait to get wed is now over
Our day has arrived at last
The planning is finished - it all went OK
But how did the time go so fast

All you guests have so kindly gathered
To witness the events of today
And I find myself feeling nervous
About making a speech in this way

Distinguished guests, relatives, friends and freeloaders

On behalf of my wife and I, thank you all for joining us today to celebrate our marriage!
It’s a privilege to be in the company of so many people that are important in our lives and we’re delighted to welcome you here to share our special day with us.
It’s great to see you all and I can honestly say it would not have been the same without you.

Events like today don’t just happen. We have been planning this wedding for some time now. Well, I say "we", Sarah actually did most of the work, as one of the best things about being a man is that weddings seem to organise themselves. So to Sarah and everyone else who has helped organise today I would like to say a big thank you.

Now as is custom, there will be a few toasts during my speech, so please don’t neck the whole glass at the first toast…mentioning no names, Mum.
To start with, I would like to take this opportunity to say that unfortunately, there are some people close to our hearts who cannot be with us today. I know they would have enjoyed it immensely. Our thoughts are with them and we know that their thoughts are with us.
Ladies and gentlemen… please be upstanding & raise your glasses to ABSENT AND LOST, Family and Friends
