Answer #1:

Your the bride...You run this. lol So you so whatever you want. That sounds good to me.Answer #3:
<<tell my new husband how much i love him in front of everyone.... is this appropriate?>>Oh gosh, no, he would be so humiliated! :)
Naw, go ahead, you do a speak girl. It is perfectly acceptable to do it however you want to.
Answer #4:
you are the bride. you are the star of the show. you do it. just dont make it too lengthy or the people will get bored.Answer #5:
Whatever you choose, its your day and you decide. The last wedding i went to the bride and groom made a speech together thanking all the people who came and helped them out with things, they also expressed their love for each other and the happiness that the day brough them, it was very nice.Answer #6:
I am TOTALLY giving a speech at my wedding! (It is a suprise for my hubby 2 be) You have to remember girl, this is YOUR day. There is no right or wrong. You can do whatever you like!Answer #7:
I say let anyone who wants to talk, go ahead and talk. I would limit it to relatives and close family friends, and plan in advance for who will talk and about how long it will take, so you can plan ahead. As for you as the bride, by all means that is appropriate...it is afterall YOUR wedding. :)Answer #8:
It is your wedding, if you want to give a speech go for it. It is very appropriate to say something. Also if you want others to talk, just have them say a few words. That way you don't hurt anyone feelings and everyone can say something.Answer #9:
I think it's pretty typical to have the dads speak, to congratulate to couple and welcome their new D-I-L or S-I-L to the family. Then the MOH and Best Man can give a speech, telling a nice or funny story about the couple and saying how happy they are for them, giving congrats, etc.I don't know if it's common, but I think it's lovely for the bride to give a speech thanking everyone for coming and declaring her love for her husband. Very sweet!
Just one rule to keep in mind- keep all the speeches short and sweet! No one likes to sit through a monologue, lol.
Answer #10:
GO FOR IT GIRL!!!! guys love it when you tell large groups of people that they are wonderful....lol....feed his ego all you like.....its YOUR wedding! and congrats on your engagement and good luck for the rest of your life!!!Answer #11:
Yes, the reception is the appropriate spot for that.It would be awkward though to have the bride make a statement like that and then the groom remains silent! It's bordering on an insult to you if he doesn't make any statement proclaiming his love for you.
So, if you want to say anything, wait until he has made a statement. If he doesn't, then you shouldn't either.
Answer #12:
its a tricky one but your wedding is your (plural) day(s). make a decision together. as the people at the reception know you they'll probably know your views on public speaking, so it wont seem strange to people, you could start the speech in a way that shows you're speaking for the both of you as a thank you, however long speeches can be a drain so try not to do the whole life story thing. but really, enjoy your days. and i hope ive helped a little. :¬)Answer #13:
Of course the bride can make a speech, especially if her hubby hates public speaking! Just don't make too long or everyone will get bored. I virtually had NO speeches at my wedding, because a) no one else had prepared one and b) we thought why waste valuable drinking time? I said a few words of thanks. It would be nice if you gave thanks to the reception venue. Yes, the MOH can speak as well. Don't mention about your hubby's sexual expertise, that's all.Answer #14:
I will be saying one at mine. I think it's courteous. I want to thank people personally for coming to my wedding. I also think it's so sweet to address your hubby too! If others want to say things after then they can too!My sis didn't say much at her receptions it was a little strange. To me at least. I think, if the people are coming to see me I should be the one to thank them, not someone else. It's more personal.
Answer #15:
Of course! Haven't you heard of feminism?Answer #16:
If you throw the etiquette and good manners book out of the window...yes. Your Guests KNOW you love him...it's your wedding day and you will have just pledged your life to him in front of them. They will have sat through three speeches already (The Father of the bride, The groom & The Best man) which is plenty.Answer #17:
Of course. My husband and I each gave thank yous at the program.** Powered by Yahoo Answers
