A very nervous time for me this week. My daughter is getting married on Friday, I've got my speech prepared but a seed of doubt has been sown in my mind. When I open my speech I welcome the guests on behalf of myself, my wife and the groom's mother and father. My question is - do I also include the bride and groom in my welcome or do I leave that for the groom?

I opened my speech at No.1 daughter's wedding as follows:-

The internet has 5000 pages on how to tie a cravat, and you can even download a speech, so I’d like to welcome you all here from the four corners of the globe this morning, this afternoon, this evening, delete as appropriate, to celebrate the wedding of, insert groom’s name here and insert bride’s name here.

We've just arrived home , mission accomplished. What a brilliant day it was. I was a bundle of nerves before the speech but it went much better than I thought it would. Thanks for all  the good wishes and advice. smile
