Making a speech is one important thing on the wedding ceremony. Are you feeling nervous because it is your first time to give a wedding speech?

In fact, delivering a wedding speech is not s difficult as you may think. Bride, groom, parents, friends, they all need to make a brief speech on the wedding. No matter who you are, there are some general rules to dress the speech.

Obviously, the speech should have some touching words. If you can say something to entertain the guests, that will be a nice and interesting speech.There are some basic rules of preparing a wedding speech.

Rule1. The opening and the closing words of a speech are the ones that make the major impression. In the beginning, you need to introduce yourself and tell a humorous story so that you may catch the attention of the guests.

Rule2. Do not rely only on your memory, and think you will stand up and just start speaking. You should have a paper in your pocket, which will help you if you feel you need it.

Rule3. No matter who is giving the speech or toast, there will be an order of sorts in the direction taken. The Bride comes first with the litany of how beautiful she looks. The Groom comes second with how lucky he is to have such a lovely Bride.

There are some exceptions of the order. For instance, second only to the birth of her first child, this is the most important day in any Bride's life.

Rule4. Try to make your speech to be brief but meaningful.

Rule5. Never to say hurtful or negative words about the families of the Bride or the Groom. That is strictly taboo.

Island Wedding for Tour Fans

This post is writing for couples who love travelling or love the nature. Today, I want to write something about the island wedding. Island wedding is one kind of outdoor weddings.


To couples who love tourism, island wedding is a perfect choice. There is no doubt that, the biggest advantage of island wedding is it combined shooting, wedding and vacation into one trip.

What’s more, before the wedding ceremony, the bride and groom can take their wedding photos on the island they are in. After the wedding ceremony, they can start their honeymoon right away. By comparing with the wedding which holding in the hotel, island wedding is much better. No matter how leisure the hotel is, its scenery can not compare with a sea island view.


However, as an old saying goes: no garden has no seeds. Before you decide an island wedding trip, you should be fully aware of some disadvantages of it. First of all, there are a lot of uncontrollable factors which may make your wedding delayed or unperfected. For example, the weather and the season may make some inconvenience for your wedding.

For instance, provided that you are going have a wedding at Bali island, it is not wise for you to choose any day from November to March, because the wedding will be badly influenced by the rainy season in Bali.

Another disadvantage is that having an island wedding is expensive. The expenses include transportation, hotel, and diets, etc. If your financial capability is limited, I may suggest just you and your love come to the island. You can celebrate you wedding with your families and friends after you come back.
