These speeches by bride or groom-to-be are the ideal way of expressing the couple's gratitude to their families and friends for the loving wishes expressed on the occasion of their engagement. They state publicly the couple's love for one another, mention their hopes for the future and end by looking forward to their forthcoming wedding day. Although the groom usually responds to the toast to the engaged couple these speeches are suitable for use by either of them. There are a few sentences marked separately, which are only suitable for either bride or groom-to-be. The poems add a light-hearted and unexpected touch to the speeches. Learn More
