Talks briefly about his daughter, usually an anecdote of when she was small. Expresses his pleasure at his new son-in-law and toasts health and happiness of the Bride and Groom
The Groom
Thanks the Bride’s parents for the reception (if both sets os parents have contributed, the Groom should thank his own parents after thanking the Bride’s parents), he also thanks the Bride’s parents for their Daughter. (Nowadays this can be left out or used as a chance for a joke!) He also thanks the guests for attending and for their presents. He then thanks the Bridesmaids and proposes a toast to them.
