I have never been good with public speaking and when I new the big date was coming closer the thought of writing a speech really prayed on my mind. I had the constant worry that if I did not get it absolutely perfect before the wedding I would not be able to speak on the day.

The thought of standing in front of a crowd of people and saying the wrong thing was a constant fear and it was actually making me less enthusiastic about getting married believe it or not. Writing the perfect groom wedding speech is a fear for most men as I later found out. I just wish I had learnt that sooner.

Eventually I built up the motivation to write the speech and I did not know where to start. Do you go for a funny speech or something more emotional and sincere? How to get the balance write was very difficult. The best thing I learnt though was to get some words down on paper. When I started writing it got the ball rolling and the ideas started flowing.

If you are in a similar position my advice is to think about the story of your relationship and just start writing. Do not worry about the order of the speech yet, just think about your partner and the best moments of your relationship and put it all down.

I would highly recommend getting a guide to help you with the structure and tone of the content or at least speak to a friend who has been there before. This helped me greatly as a groom wedding speech presented in your home is much different from a crowded wedding hall. The main point though is to speak from the heart and try to capture the way your partner makes you feel.
