In this blog post, I will introduce various examples of wedding ceremony speeches along with the thoughts that should be put into them to deliver an emotional speech.

 

Wedding ceremony speech by a teacher

I would like to express my sincere gratitude to all of you, the guests, who have come to celebrate the marriage of the groom, ○○○, and the bride, ○○○, despite the cold weather today.
I am very sorry to all of you that I, who do not have much life experience, have come to this place.
I am only here because of my special relationship with the high school homeroom teacher of the groom, ○○○. Please be generous and understand.
The groom, ○○○, studied hard in spite of his difficult circumstances in high school and excelled in his studies. He has been praised by many teachers for being an honest and exemplary student. He has now grown into a healthy and reliable young man who fulfills his role and duties as a member of society.
Meanwhile, the bride, Ms. ○○○, received a solid home education and cultivated virtue, just as the groom did, and has grown into a wonderful and humble first-class bride, so I think it is a great joy for both families and society that this young couple met and got married.
Today, I would like to say a few words to the groom and bride from the perspective of their homeroom teacher, rather than as the officiant.
Married couples are partners who meet and share affection with each other to pursue happiness and live together as a common destiny. That is why marriage has many meanings in life. We usually say a lot of nice things to the bride and groom at the wedding.
“We should accumulate virtue, take good care of our parents, and be bound to each other by love. We should also live in society with patience and humility.” These are all good words, and we should practice them. However, what I want to emphasize here is only about filial piety and health.
When we have children, we raise them with all our love and care. It also causes a lot of pain and spoils a lot of things. However, if you think that your parents would have done the same when raising you, you will realize their love for you and understand their heart and sincerity. At that time, you will naturally feel a filial piety towards your parents, and that filial piety will affect your children, who will also become filial. This is the root of filial piety. When that happens, families and society will become harmonious and morality will be restored.
Today, the concept of filial piety is gradually disappearing as the times are changing rapidly, individualism is prevalent, and nuclear families are becoming the norm. However, the relationship between parents and children is called the bond of heaven, and it is the duty of human beings that cannot be broken even if the end of the world comes. I hope that the feeling that I must do what I can for my parents will remain unchanged, no matter what anyone says.
Next, you need to have courage. Courage is strength, and the source of strength comes from health. When a couple is healthy, the family is filled with peace and happiness, and they have the energy to live their lives, and the wisdom to overcome hardships and adversity.
If you lose your health, your strength and courage will naturally weaken, and as a result, you will lose the will to live and become a loser in life, causing worry to your children as the head of the family and your wife, making your parents sad, and showing a subservient attitude to your colleagues and neighbors. Therefore, I ask you to never give in and have the courage to overcome adversity and hardship.
Finally, I would like to thank you for listening to my views, which are still immature and lacking in life experience, and I conclude my speech with a wish for the groom, ○○○, and the bride, ○○○, to have a blessed future.

 

 

Wedding ceremony officiant’s speech

Hello.
It is a day as clear and beautiful as the happy faces of the bride and groom. I hope that all of the guests who have come to celebrate have a happy day as well.
We marry because we love each other so much that we don’t want to be apart even for a day. We promise to love each other and be together for the rest of our lives. But when we actually live together, things don’t seem to work out that way. We often say that we are like enemies to each other. Why is that?
I think so. I think it’s because everyone is only trying to get something from the other person. I think there are a lot of people who think of marriage itself as a tool to get something from the other person. As a result, they start to demand conditions and want something better.
True love is giving. If you think about what you can do for your partner before you want to, your relationship will always be peaceful and loving. It is not a one-sided giving, but a mutual giving between the couple.
Of course, it will never be easy to do that in life. But if you keep that in mind, I think you will have fewer arguments than if you forget that.
Everything depends on how you think. Our reactions can be completely different depending on how we think about the same thing in the same situation. Treat everything positively and with affection. A very small difference in perception can bring about a big change in life.
Do you know the Happiness Evangelist, who is also used as a gag material these days? That’s what he mainly talks about. Look on the bright side! Develop a habit of responding positively. There are so many difficult things that can happen in life. What you absolutely need in times like these is a positive mindset.
I told the bride and groom two things. “Try to be positive and give to each other!” I ask that you always remember this. Then your home will be full of love.
I sincerely congratulate the bride and groom on their union, and I will conclude my speech.

 

 

Wedding ceremony, the officiant’s speech

First of all, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to the groom’s father for allowing me to officiate this wedding, even though I am not very good at it. I would also like to take this opportunity to congratulate the two of you on your marriage, which you have made possible with the blessings of your families and guests. Today, the sky is clear and the weather is perfect for autumn, and I would like to thank the guests who have come to grace the wedding of the groom, ○○○, and the bride, ○○○, even though they are busy with their own work. On behalf of the parents of the bride and groom, I would like to thank the guests first.
And today, I would like to express my gratitude to the parents of the bride and groom for raising and teaching the couple, and I wish the newlyweds a happy life together. I am honored to be asked to officiate at this wedding on this auspicious day, in the presence of the bride and groom’s parents, relatives, friends, and many guests.
Looking at the clear weather today, it is clear that even the sky is blessing this couple’s wedding. How can I, who am so lacking, say anything else? But I think I should officiate as a senior member of society who has lived a few years longer than the bride and groom.
Even if the officiant were to stand up here and give a long speech about honoring parents, being friendly with siblings, and loving each other, the words would not be heard by the bride and groom standing in front of the officiant. Also, since these are words that must be followed, I will omit these common words here and replace them with a few simple words of advice for the bride and groom.
First, I hope that you will recognize the virtues of being a husband and wife, respect each other, and live in harmony. The most basic thing to achieve a happy marriage is the harmony of the two of you.
The bride and groom have grown up in different environments, but from now on, they must break out of that environment and create new values in a new environment. Since people have different backgrounds, their personalities and lifestyles are bound to be different. It is not easy for two people who grew up in different environments to get married and live together as a family. Therefore, in order to achieve harmony between a couple, they must have an understanding and a caring heart for each other. To do so, it is desirable for the groom to live with the feeling that he or she is always receiving help from the bride and for the bride to live with the feeling that she is always receiving help from the groom.
Just as fish gather in deep waters and birds flock to lush forests, there are always good people around a person full of love. This is true for couples and families. Always think of others before yourself.
And I would like to say a few words to the guests. You are here today to celebrate the future of the two of you.
Please don’t end your attendance at the wedding by watching the two of them start a new life together. Please continue to pay attention to the two of them and offer them warm advice and encouragement so that they can build a happy family.
Once again, I would like to offer my sincere congratulations to the two of them on their wedding.

 

 

Example of a wedding officiant’s speech

I would like to offer my sincere congratulations to the groom, ○○○, and the bride, ○○○, on their marriage.
Today is the only day of your life, and I would like to express my gratitude to all of you who have come to celebrate the lovely bride and groom, their parents who have raised them so well, and their relatives on behalf of the bride and groom.
Now, the two of you have become a married couple in front of all these people.
As a senior who has been married for ○○ years this year, I would like to say a few words.
A few months ago, the bride and groom came to me to ask me to officiate their wedding. I told them many things as a life and marriage veteran at that time, but I would like to say it again today.
Marriage is not only a meeting of two people, but also a meeting of two families.
After all, they are individuals and families who grew up in different environments, so there will be many times when they will have conflicts in their lives.
When a problem arises, people think of clear and firm standards within themselves.
How they deal with the situation at that time will play a role in building a good family in the future.
Young people these days say things like, “I have to give in because I’m a man.”
However, compromise is something that both parties must do for each other.
It is not always about who must compromise, but rather about being prepared to compromise for each other at any moment.
I believe that this mindset will help you a lot in the crisis and conflict you are facing.
You need to think from the other person’s perspective and have the ability to look into their hearts.
If the people who will be together for a long time are always ready to make an effort to understand each other and make concessions for each other, they will cherish each other and be happy as a couple forever.
I wish them eternal happiness in the future and will end my speech here.

 

 

Wedding gift Sample wedding ceremony officiator speech manuscript

Hello, everyone.
I have a lot to say as I give the speech, but the guests will probably get bored, and even if I say a lot, the bride and groom probably won’t remember much of it, so I tried to finish as quickly as possible.
First of all, I would like to thank the bride and groom on behalf of their family and relatives
and all the guests who have come despite their busy schedules to celebrate this joyous day.
As a senior who got married before the bride and groom and has lived a little longer, I would like to offer my heartfelt congratulations to the two of you as you start a family and give you a few words of advice.
Today’s joy of marriage is not only for the two of you, but also for all your relatives, the guests here, and all those who are not here but are celebrating from afar.
As the officiant, I would like to take this opportunity to ask all the families to use today’s wedding as an opportunity to resolve all the misunderstandings that have been causing discomfort and to wish for nothing but good things in the future.
Marriage is not always sweet and smooth.
The German poet Heine said that any compass is a rough sea that has never been navigated before. I hope that you will always live your lives as a captain and navigator who sails toward a hopeful future based on the past, and that you will work together to build a happy and harmonious family. I hope that you will always solve problems through dialogue, refrain from saying things that hurt each other’s feelings, think from the other person’s perspective, be considerate of each other, and always encourage each other with a smile.
Especially in difficult times, I hope that you will have the heart to strengthen the friendship between your parents and siblings, not just between you and your family.
And as the Bible says, I think that you can never succeed in life without forgetting the three minds.
The three minds are the initial mind, the middle mind, and the last mind.
Everyone starts off humble and sincere with a desire to learn, but most of them forget their original intentions over time. However, I hope that the bride and groom here today will not forget their original intentions and that their love for each other will remain unchanged until the end.
I will conclude my speech by wishing you both good health and a happy family.
I wish you both happiness.
Thank you.

 

 

Wedding officiant Sample wedding officiant speech

Thanks to my job as a teacher, I have been asked to officiate at a few weddings.
Every time I saw that, my heart would swell with the desire to wish the young men a fresh start. But I can say with certainty that no wedding I have ever attended has been more beautiful than today’s. Thank you to all of the guests who attended today’s most special and beautiful wedding.
The two people standing in front of me no longer have the faces of young men.
The faces of the two of them in my memory from my undergraduate days were more youthful and fresh, but 10 years have turned them into middle-aged figures.
However, the two of them have a love that is like a slow but long-burning fire, rather than the passionate love of a young man and woman.
There is no passion in the eyes that look at each other, but there is affection and respect.
The proof of this is the trust that has endured through the difficult and poor years, and the loving children standing by their side will be the witnesses.
I have always wished for young couples.
I have always said that marriage is the most blessed thing that can be achieved in life, and that a happy marriage is like the most beautiful fruit.
At the same time, I have also talked about the effort that must be made to reap the fruit.
Young couples who are just entering into marriage usually only know the budding love,
and they often neglect the time and effort it takes for that tree to grow and bear fruit.
The first thing is to have strong faith in each other.
The second is the determination not to break the promise made today, no matter what hardships come their way, and the third is that all things must be resolved through love and dialogue.
The two people standing in front of me have been practicing these things themselves.
Even in the difficult years, poverty and the vicissitudes of life, the head of the household’s courage was not broken, and his wife’s trust was not broken.
After 10 years of marriage, this couple stood in front of me wearing their best clothes, and their love
has already borne the strongest and most durable fruit.
Today, this ceremony will be a chance for them to be recognized for their love once again in front of their guests.
As I look at this couple holding each other’s hands tightly,
I dare to offer a prayer.
Even if the waves get even stronger in the future, as they have been so far,
They will never let go of each other’s hands and will live their lives looking into each other’s eyes.
Finally, I conclude my speech by wishing the couple, who stand before you with unwavering love, all the best for their future together.

 

 

Sample script for a wedding ceremony officiated by a teacher

Hello, everyone. Today is a very special day for ○○○ and ○○○, who are getting married with your blessings. I would like to express my sincere gratitude to all of you who have come to bless the couple despite your busy schedules, and I am deeply honored to be the officiator of this wedding. As the officiator of this sacred ceremony, I would like to offer some words of advice to the bride and groom.
There is an old saying, “All things go well in a happy family.” This means that everything goes well when the family is harmonious. To do so, we must first have a mind that respects each other. Instead of insisting on our own habits or personality, we should have a mind that respects others, understand them, and make concessions to create a harmonious family. Like the saying “husband and wife are one,” I believe that if two people join their hearts together, they will not be afraid of the harsh winds and waves of this world at all.
I believe that the two of you make a very good couple, and I believe that your married life will be very happy. However, even if you encounter any difficulties, if you have faith and love for each other and have a sincere attitude and have a sincere conversation, it may lead to your love deepening, so please keep that in mind and always try to have a sincere conversation.
I hope that the two of you will live an honest and diligent life. Now, when the two of you start a new family after marriage, the most important thing you need is a sincere and diligent attitude towards life. When you make good use of the time you have and give it your all, you will become confident in everything you do and I believe you will also have good results. And I hope that the two of you will always live a life that is upright, honest, and true.
Also, I hope that you will always have a grateful heart and live a positive life. You must never forget the great love and grace of your parents, who supported you with love and devotion and gave you great teachings, so that you could have this honor today.
I hope that you will always have a grateful heart and live a positive life. In that case, you will become two people who are filial to their parents and other relatives, have a close relationship with their siblings, and are loved and trusted by everyone.
Today, the two of you are meeting as a couple of social intellectuals that everyone envies and blesses. Everyone here wishes the two of you prosperity in your blessings. I feel pride and a sense of accomplishment in this fact, and I hope that the new family that will be born will become a precious family that can contribute not only to the glory and development of the two people and their families, but also to this country, this nation, and humanity. I hope that the couple will become a couple who finds greater joy in serving and giving to their neighbors, and I will conclude my speech with this.
Thank you.

 

 

Other wedding speeches

First of all, I would like to thank all of you for coming here today.
I am also very excited to be here today to officiate this wedding in the warm spring weather.
Everyone, let us give a round of applause to this beautiful couple who have chosen each other from among the many people in the world.
How can we not bless them for choosing each other and making a lifelong commitment here today?
Today, I would like to give this young couple some advice on making choices in life as a mentor and senior.
There are many different kinds of people in the world.
They have different backgrounds, appearances, and personalities.
How do we decide to choose each other from among all these people and spend our lives together?
It is because of the mysterious phenomenon of love.
Everyone knows that when you fall in love, you see a different side of your partner that no one else can see.
Some say it’s because you’re in love, but I think it’s a happy phenomenon that some young people experience at least once.
As a married man myself, I hope that this couple will have a happy future, but even if that’s not the case, I’m going to teach them how to overcome it wisely.
Even if the couple’s life is filled with minor disagreements that lead to misunderstandings, they hope that people will remember their beautiful first meeting.
There are several important moments in our lives when we have to make choices. Choosing a spouse is one of them.
I hope that the faint feelings that you felt for each other when you first met, and the reason you decided to get married, will remain in your hearts forever.
I hope that you will keep this in mind whenever you fight or argue, and remember your affection for each other.
These two have chosen each other as their lifelong spouse. They have recognized each other. They will never have the freedom to choose another person again. Therefore, they should love each other and do their best to pioneer a happy path for themselves.
I hope that this couple will have a bright future, and I hope that they will maintain a wise marriage so that they will not regret their choice.
Thank you.
