How weddings have changed in the decades! Coming from a handful to 400-500 invited guests; one-two to six-eight wedding party members; an easy wedding car to expensive and big wedding cars; three course meals in order to six course meals; 1-3 live bands; simple attire to colorful and flamboyant dresses, suits and attire and off-the-cuff to well-prepared wedding speeches.
Talking about aforementioned, wedding speeches are nevertheless an important part of a married relationship and guests do enjoy hearing them, talking about them before, during as well as after they’ve been delivered.
We know of wedding speeches delivered before the meal, during the meal and after the meal, yet it is of a strong opinion the groom speech must be delivered as soon as the meal. I am aware that for many bridal party speakers i.e. Father of the Bride Speech, Father from the Groom Speech, Bride Speech, Groom Speech and Bestman Speech (5 main speakers), they might would rather contain the wedding speeches before the meal, so they can enjoy their meal (some of them are paying for it!). However, is going on the invited guests and just how most of them (as well as wedding ceremony venue staff) would rather the wedding speeches to become delivered following the meal for most reasons, some of which include:
The invited guests have already been fed and watered and are not listening to wedding speeches on an empty stomach (at least of food, which would be the case before the meal, though weddings today do provide light snacks upon arrival on the wedding venue)
Food could be cooked and served with the agreed time (introduce the wedding ceremony speeches before the meal and their could be a delay of Fifteen minutes to 1.5 hours, driving your kitchen staff crazy continuing to keep food freshly cooked, presentable and edible)
The wedding ceremony speeches become the transition from the meal on the dancing (with nothing happening as soon as the meal, people are expecting ‘a few words’ to be shared about the Bride & Groom after which they do know they can get up, move around, have a break, go for a walk, go to the bar…)
It can be hard for fogeys of the Bride & Groom to speak in public places, since most of them couldn’t survive used from it. So, they can, should they so wished, speak prior to the / their meal.
There should still be some form of formal speech(es) after the meal…
