The short answer
Funny groom speech example
I'll keep this brief, because there's dancing later and, unlike this speech, that's something Jordan is genuinely good at.
Jordan, before I met you I thought I had life mostly figured out. You gently showed me I didn't, and then made everything better than I'd planned.
Right โ I've been told the sincere part is legally required, so brace yourselves.
Marriage teaches you loyalty, patience, and understanding. Which means Jordan had absolutely none of these before they met Jordan.
When two people are right for each other, you can feel it in the room, and every one of us felt it the moment they walked in today.
Please raise your glasses to the happy couple โ Jordan, good luck, and Jordan, we all know you married up. To Jordan and Jordan.
Heartfelt groom speech example
If you want to know what kind of person Jordan is, look at the face they make whenever Jordan walks into a room.
Jordan, before I met you I thought I had life mostly figured out. You gently showed me I didn't, and then made everything better than I'd planned.
That was the moment I stopped worrying about Jordan, because I could see they'd found where they belonged.
A marriage is built less on grand gestures than on ten thousand small kindnesses, and these two already speak that language fluently.
So please, raise your glasses to Jordan and Jordan โ may your life together be as kind as the love that brought you here.
Funny & heartfelt groom speech example
I want to start by saying how wonderful Jordan looks today โ which, if you knew them at nineteen, is genuinely worth a round of applause.
I'm not going to promise you a perfect life, Jordan. I'm going to promise you me โ all in, paying attention, choosing you on the good days and especially on the hard ones.
That's the Jordan we love to tease. Here's the Jordan we're genuinely proud of.
A wedding is one day; a marriage is forever. Which is roughly how long Jordan takes to get ready, so Jordan is well prepared.
To love someone is to be a little braver than you were alone, and Jordan has never looked braver or happier than with Jordan.
So whether you came for Jordan, for Jordan, or purely for the buffet, please raise your glass to the two of them. To Jordan and Jordan.
