Best Man Wedding Speech
Well to be honest Steven I thought you would have spoken for longer today….. as that was probably your last opportunity to speak for any length of time without interruption.
Not that I’m saying Ellen talks a lot!
Afternoon everybody…..or is it evening….. seems so long ago that we started these proceedings….
For those of you that do not know me my name is Mark
Although I’m sure you’ll have a few other names for me after I’ve finished this…. Although BIG NOSE is a little obvious!
Also just a little soundcheck….Can hear me at the back????
Good then put a bottle aside for me!!!!
Well…I hope you’ve all been having a good time and enjoyed yourselves so far……… Good …..but as they say ….. every silver lining has a cloud….. and I’m afraid it’s just got overcast!
I must thank Ellen’s parents for their hospitality today and that really did look like a splendid meal………..
although I’m afraid mine should be just be hitting the city sewer system around …. About….. now…
Response to Steven’s Toast To Bridesmaid
First of all may I re-iterate and thank Steven for his complementary comments to the Bridesmaids, who have done a splendid job today at looking wonderful.
Although….. No-doubt my sister has already told you this……
Read CARDS / TELEGRAMS here!
“Don’t forget dear ….. the slightest ill treatment and you come home to Mother!
Closer Look…………… Oh!! Its for...
... middle of paper ...
...m service lady will of course be puzzled by this request and ask him whether Mrs Scott might want something more substantial
To which Steven will probably reply
‘No that’s ok I'm conducting an experiment to see if she eats like a rabbit as well!"
Ladies and Gentlemen please….. settle down…
Could you please stand now and join me in a toast to the bride’s parents for this special day. Thank you.
And while you are all standing I’ve just got a few last things to say…..
Steven you are an excellent friend and it’s been an honour to be your best man. I wish you and Ellen all the very best for the future.
If everyone could now join me in a toast to Mr and Mrs Steven and Ellen Scott.
Congratulations!!!
Firstly, I would like to thank Nick for his kind words on behalf of the bridesmaids and anyone else he mentioned. While I’m on the subject of gratitude, thanks also to Elite Golf Club and all the workers for a wonderful spread. Any chance of a golf membership?
Firstly, on behalf of the bridesmaids, I'd like to thank the groom for his kind words, and I have to say they have done an excellent job today and look absolutely wonderful.
As about half of you will know, this is my second father of the bride speech. To misquote Oscar Wilde from 'The Importance of Being Ernest:
On behalf of my beautiful wife and I, we would like to thank you all for coming along, and sharing this very special day with us. And a huge thank you for the wonderful presents.
Best man 2 :Also, thanks must go to the beautiful bridesmaids, who did a fabulous job today getting the bride ready and making sure she didn't back out. So if you could please raise your glasses again. To the bridesmaids.
Ladies and Gentlemen – I’ll start by thanking Brian on behalf of the bridesmaids for his kind words.
On behalf of our family, we want to welcome each of you to the wedding today. It is a true testament to Bobo and Twiggy that you have taken time from your busy schedule to come and witness their marriage. I have never seen a more beautiful bride than Twiggy, and my brother looks just plain button busting proud, doesn’t he?
So thank you judge Ball, Vanessa, Sharon, Susan, Dan, the rest of the panel, my peers, and whoever else I’ve missed. You guys gave me the opportunity to live. And though the sun sets on this chapter of my journey and the dawn rises on the next one I will always be eternally grateful and indebted to you all.
Ever since the fall, mankind has had a voracious desire for power and influence. People witness this desire within the walls of the Capitol Building when the media exposes backroom deals. It also springs up whenever a politician uses a podium to persuade people that he makes the world work. Politicians possibly rely on persuasion because they crave the power. However, persuasion is a manipulative, unBiblical tactic of forcing others to accept a point of view by all means necessary.
As Father of the Bride, I am honored to be the first to speak this evening. I would like to begin by welcoming each and every one of you on this joyous occasion. It is good to see so many friends and family here today to help celebrate Paula and Manson’s wedding. I would also like to remember those who have meant so much to our family, but could not be here today.
persuasion on people you need to be familiar with the structure behind a persuasive message. It is important to identify which route is beingused (central or peripheral) and understand the effect of the communicator,the content of the message, the method of communication, and the reaction by the audience. Counterarguements in making a public commitment strengthen out resistance to persuasion.
Good afternoon ladies and gentlemen. I would like to echo the groom's sentiments and mention that all the bridesmaids look truly beautiful, indeed.
Finally, on behalf of the bride and groom I would like to thank everyone for sharing their special day, it is a true millstone - sorry milestone in their lives. On behalf of myself I wish you'd all stayed at home - as things would have been a lot easier on me. I started planning this speech about 5 months ago and I expect you all feel like I've been delivering it equally as long. But now it gives me immense pleasure (not to mention relief) to invite you to all stand and raise your glasses in a toast to John and Angie. To love, laughter and happily ever after. To John and Angie CONGRATULATIONS
In my opinion, persuasion is the process of presenting your main idea to an audience and getting that audience to accept that idea as truth. Social psychologist Robert Cialdini penned these six principles of persuasion that are tools in helping you to move your audience closer toward accepting your idea or thought; the principles are Reciprocity, Scarcity, Authority, Commitment & Consistency, Consensus, and Liking (McLean, 2010, p. 538-540). In this essay, I will provide definitions for each principle of persuasion. Also, I will provide a situation where I was tasked with persuading someone at work to do something that I needed help with. Lastly, I will evaluate my application of the six principles of persuasion.
Good evening, everyone. Today, we’re here to honour the bride and groom. As the bride’s best friend, I feel honoured to be standing here on such an important day of her life. We have been through a lot and so much together in life, and I cannot imagine being anywhere else but here on my best friend's wedding day.
