Isn’t it silly to think a marriage contract must be serious all the time, allowing for a breather only during the wedding reception. Do people really frown on funny wedding vows? If the marrying couple are always serious and want to break up their own lives with a bit of humor, whose to say that it is wrong. That is not a question open for answers, it is a statement, like; whose life is it anyway. You don’t really want an answer, you are stating a frustrating question out loud. No answer required.
Of course, saying vows is important as you must abide them for the rest of your married life. But, isn’t the act itself serious enough? That can be answered. If you want to break a serious situation up with laughter, wouldn’t that set the tone for the rest of that glorious day? If you and your fiancé want to do something different, because you want different results than the standard marriage, try making each other laugh. You both must agree that it is acceptable to say your funny wedding vows, that way no one is surprised.
It’s not a comedy show, but since everyone is sitting there anyway, some may even be sleeping, so liven up that beautiful day by showing your guest that it is okay to smile, and even chuckle. It doesn’t have to be the end of the world if your parents don’t think it’s proper. They had their turn. Besides, those funny wedding vows can go a long way during that stressful time. Practice in the mirror or with your partner. Make your day, your day. No one else can live it for you or can be blamed if it isn’t exactly what you wanted. Even if everyone protest because they don’t think you are being responsible, you are committing the rest of your life to someone, isn’t that enough?
Take in mind, I am not talking about the reception toast. That is a personal blessing from your best friends. They usually are funny and everyone laughs. What if you think you and your fiancé are being cute and funny and no one laughs? Would that end your world, make your commitment less sincere, or mean that your marriage is doomed to fail? Of course not, it means you have a bunch of old fashioned folks in your audience, and if the standard vows were good enough for them, their grandparents, and their grandparents’ grandparents, it should be good enough for you.
Whoever you are, remain true to yourself and your relationship. If you want to laugh instead of faint from stress, make up something cute and sweet to say to your future spouse. I’m sure it will be a welcome relief. If not, maybe you need more time to figure out who you both are, step back, find a safe ground to stand on. The stress of getting married can ruin any good wedding, and most brides are so stressed out, they don’t even remember the day. Give yourself and your honey something good to remember. Say your funny wedding vows and have a great day!
Wedding Toasts
July 15, 2008
Wedding toasts are a time that is remembered by everyone for the wonderful thoughts, stories and anecdotes about the bride and groom, this is also a time when every guest is watching and listening. When you ask someone to say a toast at the wedding, it is very important that you ask an individual with whom you can trust. Wedding toasts are not a chugging contest. Your glass should not need to be refilled after each toast. While wedding toasts are very common, it can be difficult to give a great toast if you’ve never done it before. Sure, you see the movies where toasts are spoken as if they are poetry, seemingly with no forethought or effort.
It is a good practice to write a groom speech of about five minutes but that must include all the gratitude towards the friends and family, humor or healthy jokes.
And it could be so that you really don’t have the time to browse the internet to find resources and tips on groom speeches. And, to be honest, for you alone, the groom speech is not among the major responsibility of the day nor it is a priority. It is a good idea to write out and practice the father of the groom speech in advance to make sure all goes well on the big day. Try not to sound like a robot as can happen when one over-practices, but give a speech that is heart felt and honest. It’s about everything you need to know about delivering a smashing Groom Speech.

Some Maids of Honor like to be spontaneous and not rehearse anything prior to making the toast while others (the majority) usually bring notes or a prepared speech. Thats why there are folks who are professional writers that put together speeches or toasts. That is where their talent is in life. During the event of a wedding, there are numerous opportunities for the use of custom-written speeches and toasts. In many instances this can turn an ordinary event into an extraordinary one!
Remember, a toast does not just have to be talking. A lot of times the best wedding toasts are song in a song. Remember, the more you practice, the more relaxed you will be on the night. Remember that these quotes can be used anywhere throughout the eulogy. Use as many as you feel are necessary.
Funny wedding toasts are growing in popularity in many countries. This is because people like to have a little bit of fun at a wedding as well. Funny wedding toasts are not limited to the best man, though. Actually, anyone can give a funny toast at a wedding if they have a mind to it.
