Thank them for their kind words and for toasting your marriage. It's also anticipated for the groom to thank the bride's parents for welcoming him into their family and for accepting his bride's choice of him as her husband. This is the time that you should also assure them of your utmost attention to their child and give examples of why you are madly in love with her. Paying special attention to her personality and character traits and only barely dwelling on her appearance will endear you to the whole audience.

Next you need to give special thanks to your own parents, for everything that they have done in the past and present to permit you the possibility of standing there. Even though all folks know that their children love them it is important to actually say it during this part of the speech, simply make sure that tissues are handy for your mother at this point.

The next part of your speech should be targeted on the guests. Give a general thank you to everybody for attending the marriage and sharing in your special day. It's not necessary to thank each guest individually, but if there are a few guests that have made an extra effort to attend by traveling a long distance, then it is expected to give special thanks by naming them personally.

The wedding party is the next group to be thanked. The best man, maid of honor, ring bearer and brides maids should all be introduced by name and a mention of their support throughout the marriage planning should be highlighted as each member of the party is introduced. The groom should give a special thanks to his best man. A funny, but suitable story should be shared and some explanation as to why you selected him as your beast man and why your closeness is so important should be included.

Finally the groom should turn to his new bride and tell her how much he loves and adores her, telling her how much he is looking forward to spending the rest of his life with her. Most significantly, thank her for saying yes when you proposed. The groom's speech is designed to be from the heart, so if at this stage it sounds really emotional, so be it. Share some stories about how you met and when you knew that she was the one for you.

If your bride is not going to give her very own speech, where she would thank her bridesmaids and maid of honor, then historically the groom's speech should end with a toast to the maid of honor and the bridesmaids.
