| It
is not traditional to have speeches at Indian weddings, but if you
are having the western influences and are going to have speeches,
here is the order. |
|
Brides Father
|
|
|
The Brides Father says a few words about
the bride and groom and proposes a toast to them
|
|
|
Groom
|
|
|
The Groom responds to the bride's father's speech
by saying how lucky he is to have found such a lovely wife and thanking both sets of parents
for a wonderful wedding and the guests for their present.
He thanks anyone else that needs to be thanked. He acknowledges the services of the bestman and
proposes a toast to the bridesmaids.
|
|
|
Bestman
|
|
|
The Bestman replies for the bridesmaids, thanking the
groom and adding a few compliments of his own. He then does his speech and reads out the
telegrams, he congratulates the bride and groom and announces the cutting of the cake.
|
|
The Speeches are ended by toasting the happy couple and
usually the bride and groom feeding champagne to each other
