The conventional programme of speeches and toasts begins with the bride's father, who proposes a toast to the bride and groom. The groom replies and, in turn proposes a toast to the bridesmaids.
The father of the bride is usually the straight man of the wedding speech set. Guests at the wedding party can be counted upon to treat his contribution with genial respect.
Daddy is expected to say a few reasonably sober, sensitive yet witty words. He also has to include some love and affection.
The Best Man is expected to roast the bridegroom and to show no mercy. If he can do this without embarrassing him too much in front of the opposition he's a hero.
From "older bridegrooms" to "wilful brides" Mitch Murray has speech advice and one liners for all scenarios. The complete book of One liners for weddings is published by Foulsham at £7.99
