The
sister of the bride speech process isn’t all that difficult really; you
just need to break it down. If you aren’t the maid of honor you may just need
to make a quick sister speech at the wedding and then you can pass on the
microphone to the next family member to let them sweat a bit! Still, you should
have something planned so that your nerves don’t get the best of you. Your
speech needn’t be overly polished or cheesy if that is not your style, then
again if you want to get sentimental you can!
It’s a good idea to start out with formal congratulations. You can tell the
bride and the groom that you were just as nervous as they were, and that you are
glad that all of their hard work and planning has turned out so beautifully.
Your sister may like hearing from you that things look great, and are exactly as
she planned. Then, you’ll want to make the speech more personal, since this is
your sister that you are speaking to. If you have a story about weddings from
when you were young, like how you used to share your fantasy wedding ideas with
one another or something like that it will spark fond memories for your sister
and share a little something with the rest of the family and friends and the
reception. Personalizing the speech is important, because you aren’t just that
fifth cousin who was invited; you are the sister of the bride!
To close the speech you can tell your sister that you can only hope to look
as beautiful as she does when you get married, if you aren’t already. Also,
welcome your new brother in law to the family. If you share a common sense of
humor don’t hesitate to make a few clean jokes and then congratulate the couple
and pass the torch to the next family member so that they can express their
congratulations as well.
Here are some great wedding
toasts to the bride and groom that you can use for your wedding speech:
Marriage: A community consisting of a master, a mistress, and two slaves -
making in all, two.
May the
roof above you never fall in and may you both never fall out.
To the
lamp of love - may it burn brightest in the darkest hours and never flicker
in the winds of trial.
May
'for better or worse' be far better than worse.
Remember that if you ever put your marital problems on the back burner they
are sure to boil over.
Happy
marriages begin when we marry the one we love, and they blossom when we love
the one we married.
Many sisters feel as though they need to write some prose or something to
that effect for a sister of the bride wedding speech, but that is not
necessary. Of course, if you want to write a poem for the new couple, that
would be great and very sincere. But, you can go casual and simply tell your
sister and brother in law that you are happy for them! Since you are the
sister, toast wedding congratulations and a bit more and you are off the hook.
Just make it sincere and let both your sister and your brother in law know that
you are happy for them, in whatever style most suits both you and them.
