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!!!
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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?
However, before I begin, on behalf of John and Angie I would like to thank everyone who has helped to make this the special day that it is - and I think we can all agree it has been splendid so far.
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.
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.
Hi everybody, for those who don’t know me, I’m Lindsey’s cousin Jaime. On behalf of the bridesmaids and myself we would like to recognize and thank _____ and Kathy Zarwi for being such amazing hosts! I know I am not alone when I say, it has been quite a day; a day to be cherished and unforgotten, a day that celebrates two people who fell in love. As kids, Lindsey and I spent a lot of time together, getting into who knows what trouble- as our moms would say, silence was never good thing when the two of us were together. But, for my speech I've decided not to tell any embarrassing stories because it would also be embarrassing to me...
On behalf of the bride and groom I want to thank you all for coming out today for such a special event. As the best man I would like to say a few words about my best friend Adam and his amazing wife Layla. Im Saleh, I've known Adam since the 3rd grade when we were once more interested in Harry Potter films, than we were about girls. We grew up together, did everything together, and went to college together. You are like my brother and I will always cherish and miss all the fun memories we had.
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.
Firstly Paula – thanks for the “hairdo” and busting a gut to get here on time to have a trial run. Ben – thanks for taking photos for our guest book and thank you all for posing and signing it.
