Non Traditional Wedding Reception Speech
Posted: Wed Aug 03, 2016 10:13 am
Well the time is ticking down, a month from now my youngest daughter will be getting married.
This is so very exciting.
She is having a very non traditional kind of wedding, it is what we historically call, a small town country wedding, held out in the country at a small town hall. Very casual, with a wee hint of tradition.
She and her beau are very easy going and laid back. My daughter is the exact opposite of a bridezilla
My daughter has asked that myself and my husband give the introduction speech. They are planning an open mic style for anyone who may wish to speak. (sometimes this is a little risky and nerve wracking because the silence can be a bit of a challenge as can some long winded guests be).
I am not much of a public speaker, but feel confident that we can pull off a meaningful, and touching speech. Neither of us are long winded, but we both are rather sentimental.
We do have to do the standard introductions of the wedding party, a welcome message to the guests and we do have to acknowledge our out of towner's, and a couple very special guests, (grandparents and the youngest niece/nephew)
Can anyone offer up any unique suggestions to help us make our speech memorable?
