Son's Wedding Speech: Mother's Wedding
Ladies and gentlemen unfortunately it is time for a select few of us to arise from our chairs and entertain you with witty banter and stories reflecting on the bride and groom. So whilst I am sure the remaining speakers are DESPERATE to get up and give their respective speeches you will have to bear with me. As Henry V111 said to each of his wives in turn, “I won’t keep you very long.”
As this is my first wedding let alone my first wedding speech I was given very specific instructions from those in greater authority as to what I am allowed to say. As such I did what any self-respecting human being would do... try to write my own speech... fail miserably then steal one from the Internet. So welcome to Kim and Trevors wedding.
For those who do not know me I'm Jacob, Lucy’s eldest son and I've been given the great honor of giving my beautiful mother away to Ben. At this moment in time I am full of admiration and pride for the commitment they have both made today and one day hope to follow in the example they have set. Although when I get married I'll do it for one of the real reasons... pregnancy, for money.... or with a gun to my head.
Firstly I wish to convey my heartfelt thanks to everyone in attendance today particularly those who have travelled some distance to be with us on Lucy and Ben special day I know I speak for my entire family when I say thank you.
During the time we’ve known Ben we’ve come to realize how much he means to Mum. He is a different, loud, sexist man but at least he has all ten fingers. Even so, when you see how gorgeous my mother looks today, it proves the one thing I’ve always known about Ben – he is clearly a man of vision … often blurred, sometimes doubled, but nonetheless a man of vision who’s been lucky enough to find my mother. So it’s a pleasure, Ben to formally welcome you into our family and I know it’s a cliché, but I would like to say that today we haven’t lost a mother, we’ve gained a true blue Australian– every
