Who does wedding speeches and in what order?<\/h2>\n

Traditional Speech Givers & Order<\/h3>\n

Traditionally, and I say this tentatively as we live in the 21st century, after all, the following wedding party members give speeches in the following order<\/strong>:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Father of the Bride<\/li>\n
  2. Groom<\/li>\n
  3. Best Man<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    But and this is a big but, there are no rules when it comes to who makes a wedding speech or in which order.<\/p>\n

    It’s also worth remembering that not everyone has a father or father figure in their life, not all weddings have grooms or best men. So these roles may not fit with your day.<\/p>\n

    But that’s absolutely fine, it’s your day so it should be celebrated in your own unique style.<\/p>\n
