Father of the Bride Wedding Speech

Welcome, everyone. I believe, that as father of the bride, it is my dubious privilege to make the first speech, so, here's one I prepared earlier.

I would like to start by saying what a pleasure it is to welcome, on this very happy occasion all relatives and friends of both families. I'd like to take this opportunity to thank especially my wife for not only being tolerant but more importantly an outstanding mother and the guiding influence in the upbringing of our daughter, culminating in today's celebrations.

To the reverend, our thanks for officiating at the ceremony, and to his "boss” for keeping the weather at bay.

Before I ask you to join me in a toast to the bride and groom. I'd like to bore you with a few words. I will try to keep them short. as I know that the other speakers are really looking forward to standing here before you and making their speeches!

Nine months ago Nicola phoned and asked me what I was doing on Saturday, 23 March. As she knows that I always play golf on a Saturday, I thought she had taken up the game ...

  • Women in Sports and Sports Broadcasting

    Before I conducted this media analysis about women in sports and sport broadcasting, I hypothesized the obvious - that more male sports would be in the media, and that there would be more male sports broadcasters as well. Through my observations I did find that the sports arena and sports broadcasting sphere are male dominated. However, I also found that although there are not many stories about women, there has been a steady progression and magazines like Sports Illustrated are becoming bold enough to highlight women athletes in a magazine that is targeted towards a male audience. Although women still have a long way to go, they are making some headway into the male-dominated sports arena.

  • Good Sports Equal Aggressive Men?

    In sporting activity participation and televised sports, there is a noticeable difference between male and female interest and involvement. In the article Center of Attention: The Gender of Sports Media Michael A. Messner discusses the issues that involve all aspects of sports strictly being a man’s affair. Messner expresses ideas that men are not only the forefront of sports participation, but sports media as well. A point is made in the article about the leaders in sports being those who are the most aggressive. This point is the reasoning behind why men are the superior figures in sports. The aggressiveness of men causes there to be more interest into male sporting activity which makes men a dominant figure in sports.

    Marijuana, the most abused drug in America, has had a lot of publicity recently. Marijuana has caused multiple economic problems within the U.S. A controversial question has arisen from the increased popularity and troubles of this drug. The question is whether or not the U.S. government should legalize marijuana possession and sale in the country. Many Americans believe that the drug should be legalized for various reasons; others, however, are against the legalization of the dangerous drug. While legalization has both pros and cons, the positives of legalizing marijuana for those people over the age of twenty-one far outweigh the negative aspects of legalization.

  • Gender Roles In Sports Culture

    1398 Words  | 3 Pages

    Sports culture as a whole has epitomized the idea of “manhood” and its values. The competitiveness, passion, and most importantly the brotherhood fostered by gathering around the couch and watching burly men throw balls of various shapes and sizes on television, all while drinking copious amounts of beer, has been the staple in the majority of men’s living rooms. Of course, these games would be nothing without the sports commentators who regurgitate stats and their analyses of the game to the world as it happens. Not to mention that these commentators happen to be majority male as well, which begs the question: how could women possibly fit in as sportscasters for such a male-dominated culture? In “Women Sportscasters,” Max V. Grubb and Theresa Billiot tackle the issue of women’s roles in sportscasting, and argue that sports culture as a whole needs to change to advance women’s roles in this masculine domain. For now, however, they claim that women are given roles that “objectify them and place them where they do not threaten the status quo,” and this is apparent because of how the media emphasizes women’s looks, keeps them out of the limelight, and prioritizes broadcasting men’s as opposed to women’s sports.
