I'm kind of staggered you were down for the whole marriage thing - you seem the sort to rally against every bit of it with every fibre of your being.

I'm even more amazed that someone would commit to spending their life with me :lol:

If I get married, strawberry float doing a speech - can't be arsed at all.

I was best man for one of my mates 12 years ago, and he forgot to mention his new wife in his groom's speech :slol:

Same. Practiced enough so I learnt it off by heart and didn't need my notes, was great fun doing it.

I wrote my groom speech the night before the wedding and then did it without even needing my notes. Got lots of good comments afterwards saying how good it was too 8-)

I'd absolutely dread doing a best man speech though and I hope I'm never put in that position.

Groom speech is the one thing I'm truly dreading. Hate public speaking. Hate being the centre of attention.

That's if the wedding goes ahead of course. Nearly 2 months away and we have zero idea if we're still ok to go ahead.

I lost my place and went off script a few times (was using prompts which is put down to make sure I was looking at people around the room), and at one point I lost my place on my prompts page, it went quiet, it felt awkward and I started shaking and decided that was a perfectly appropriate time to make a Parkinson's joke

Surely you don't have to do it if you don't want to? It's your wedding

Yeah i didn't do any of that, no first dance either. We also specified no presents from anyone. I was best man for my mates wedding and did the speech no problem, i just don't like being the centre of attention and feel like its overly self indulgent. Luckily my wife is great and was supporting the idea before i even said anything.

My dad did that. He's not married now. :slol:

My brother's best man speech at my wedding was strong. Knowing that my wife is big into star signs and that she's a Taurus he named some famous people she shared the sign with - Adolf Hitler, Oliver Cromwell, Saddam Hussein...

It's your wedding, you don't have to do anything you don't want to.

The main point of the grooms speech is to thank people. Thank them in private individually instead.

I was best man for my brothers wedding but told him I wasn't doing a speech. :lol:

I eloped to Vegas so didn't have to do a groom's speech.

Basically I am not ever doing a speech.

The best was when he said your mum delivered a bike and she's not walked the same since.

I was a big fan of how he silenced your Dad. Beautiful comic timing, but a sting behind it.

Did everyone go to Coraz wedding?

Was I there?

Edited my opinion was rude apologies

broom her

in all seriousness tell her how you feel and see how she reacts. also ask her how she feels as well. it sounds simple but it isnt but you need to communicate how you feel and listen to how she feels, because her actions are coming from feelings and you need to know why/what shes feeling, not go off how those feelings are making her act.

feelings

good luck

That's unacceptable behaviour on her part. Like face says, ask her what's up.

Yeah, think you sat up the back.

But nah, was just those two of people who still post here. And it was good to have them too. :wub:
