Thankfully, a quiet best man speech or father of the bride speech will likely
go unnoticed by all of those in attendance if you plan ahead. It’s
likely that no one will require that you make a very long speech, so work on
congratulating the new couple. If you are the father of the bride simply explain
that you are happy to welcome the groom into the family and you know that he
will fit in well. If you are quiet but have a great sense of humor, think about
adding some humor into the mix. Humor may help you break out of your shy self
and enjoy the moment as well as make everyone laugh so that they may not notice
how shy or nervous you may be!
Because there will likely be other people that will want to make speeches or
toasts, perhaps you can go first and get it out of the way. Shy speakers often
have a difficult time getting up after that alpha male that seems to be able to
do anything in public without thinking twice, so if you go first you won’t have
time to get even more nervous. This will also help if you have your speech
memorized and you don’t want to run the risk of forgetting what you want to say
as well as repeating what others may have said.
If you’re going to give a quiet man speech, wedding receptions are the place
to start. If you are nervous, you don’t need to be. By the time everyone gets
around to giving speeches many simply aren’t paying attention because they are
enjoying great food and drinks. Perhaps giving this speech will get you over
your fear of public speaking, or at least you will prove to yourself that you
can give speeches and be a pleasantly quiet man! Though it seems like a
contradiction, quiet men often give the best speeches because they put a lot of
thought into what they have to say.
Whether you are a shy speaker or a somewhat quiet man, you can give a great
speech or toast at a wedding. Remember that there is no real length of time
that you need to spend speaking in front of the crowd, so you can keep things
short and sweet. The key is to think about what you want to say ahead of time
so that you can deliver a speech or a toast that will be sincere and will allow
people to look past the fact that you typically are a quiet man! When you are
planning your speech think about both the bride and the groom and what will make
both of them laugh, smile, or appreciate what you have to say.
