A Daughter’s Thoughts on Her Dad’s Father of the Bride Speech

When your baby decides to begin a life of her own and accepts a proposal from some lucky guy, what do you do? Even though you may have a propensity to say things like I forbid it, what are you thinking, he is a looser and other such nonsense that may seam appropriate it is best that you first begin with, baby I am so proud of you, congratulations. Then you can excuse yourself to your den where you keep that special bottle of liquor that you have been saving for a happy occasion and hit it hard.

Then you may rejoin the occasion in progress. Your wife is weeping in the corner and it is your job to pull all this together and rejoice as a family! In time you will be made to write your thoughts down and put them together into a father of the bride speech or toast or both. Yes, it will be difficult to let her go, but she will always remember the toast that you provided for the young couple. This is also your time to shine as well. Some would say that to keep it short would be advantageous. I say no. Work the crowd, have some fun, go dad go. After all this will be the last time that you get to speak to both of them together until of course they hit you up to co-sign on their very first Mercedes Benz.

Dad, you are the luckiest guy in the world at this point. Everybody is watching you and what you will be saying. Some hints for your success begin with ordering three doubles, something like salty dogs that go down easy for the first two drinks then a straight shot of moon shine on the rocks if you can find it for the last drink and the toast. You will be fine. Everything will be rosy for the rest of the evening. The father of the bride speech is for you dad, it is really for you.
