"When my daughter announced that she planned to marry the boyfriend thought it was best to perform some background checks. So I went to the police station local and asked if he was well behaved. The sergeant behind the desk was very reassuring. He apparently never had any trouble with it ever happened the night. "
Somehow he can get away with very corny jokes at a wedding, the jokes would be very flat elsewhere. Maybe it is often half the people do not know the other half. Or maybe it's that everybody is trying hard to be polite, and make it a happy day for the bride and groom. But in reality, I think often it is more likely that most guests have already had "too much" and laugh at everything he said, even a very modest attempt at humor.
The father of the bride traditionally has a special place at weddings. Most likely this is because normally expected to be the host and pay the bill reception in the past. Shades of another tradition in some cultures and older times of paying a dowry, and her daughter leaving home to live with the groom's family, I guess. The bill is often spread around a little more widely among families these days. But it is still a key for a parent to see your beautiful daughter out of home to live with his new partner. Is the public "giving your daughter away" tradition that makes it even worse. More than a bride's father secretly quickly wiped a tear or two at the wedding of his daughter.
This special place for the bride's father gets mean sometimes the role of master of ceremonies at the wedding of his daughter, and to intervene from time to time and say a few words to keep the occasion moving along. Sometimes this role is the best man, another guest who is a speaker able, or even a professional artist, if the budget stretches that far.
Whether or not he is the master of ceremonies, the bride's father, who generally is expected to give a brief speech at the reception. The model is fairly well established by tradition:
1. A few opening lines, perhaps with some humor to draw attention.
2. Thanks to the guests for coming and for supporting the people behind the organization of the event.
3. Some comments on the day so far as compliments aimed at the ladies.
4. Some personal comments about how it feels to be the father of the bride.
5. Some kind words on the bride.
6. Perhaps some comment about how the romance began to blossom into marriage.
7. A welcome to the family to the groom.
8. Some comments on the plans of the couple, some words of wisdom and advice, and best wishes for their future together.
9. A toast (or two), the couple and their future, and maybe talk about missing relatives and friends.
10. A closure of some lines, often as the host wishing everyone a good time for the rest of the festivities.
Assemble a successful speech comes easy for some, but that may be helpful to get a draft prepared by professionals and ready to work out. After all, giving a father of the bride wedding speech can only occur once or twice in the lives of most parents. And there are few things worse than it was said afterwards by the mother of the bride forgot to mention the work Aunt Mildred hard icing on the wedding cake!
