Father of the Bride Speech Example
I don't know if anyone here has seen the movie
"Father of the Bride." I'm not talking about that
remake starring Steve Martin. I mean the original
movie from 1950-something, starring Elizabeth Taylor
as the bride and Spencer Tracy as her father.
Well, among other things, that movie pictured the
father as bursting with love, joy and pride on the
day of his daughter's nuptials. I'm here to tell you
that the movie makers got it right. I feel all those
things right now. My reason for feeling them is
simple: Whenever I look at Ellen, my daughter, and
Roger, my brand new son, and how they look at each
other, it's evident to me that an ocean of love and
affection connects these two.
Ellen and Roger have known each other for seven
years. They met when they were students at Syracuse
University and they've basically been together ever
since.
I look at Ellen, so beautiful and stately in
appearance. She's sweet and intelligent, caring and
upbeat. Ellen is full of life in so many ways.
And Roger? He's a handsome young man; creative,
motivated, charming and sincere. In so many ways,
these two make a perfect couple. They're outgoing
and positive. The glass is half-full. In fact, for
these two, considering all they've got going, I'll
coin a new idiom: Their glass is completely full. In
fact, their cup runneth over altogether.
They'll make a wonderful home in Boston, where they
both work in the entertainment field. Their life
will be filled with all kinds of friends and plenty
of shared interests, like cooking to mention only
one of them.
Roger is a great guy. Respectful, considerate and
quite romantic in his ways. Before he proposed to
Ellen, he called me and asked for permission. It
warmed my heart when he did. The actual proposal
took place in a beautiful spot in Central Park. It
was there, during a picnic in the rose garden, where
Roger asked Ellen to be his wife. To share a life.
And it was there where Ellen joyously said yes.
You know, going back to that movie again, back to
Tracy and Taylor in "Father of the Bride," a big
part of the action was about the comedy of events
that led up to the actual wedding. Well, I'm here to
say we didn't suffer any egregious mishaps or
awkward moments as they did in the movie. But it was
indeed a challenge, and a huge responsibility, to
see this event through to successful fruition.
On that note, I want to acknowledge all the rigorous
efforts made by my wonderful wife, Connie, Ellen's
mom. Honey, you were great. You did a fabulous job.
And likewise, I wish to acknowledge Sylvia and
Lennie, parents of Roger and now, most definitely,
family with us. These great folks made an
extraordinary luau rehearsal dinner last night. It
set the festive, loving, heartwarming tone that
continues now. May it last all throughout the life
of this lovely bride and her handsome groom.
Every family, I'm sure, has their little tales and
ways in which they interact with each other. I'd
like to share one with with you now.
This story is a bit involved and I hope I don't get
too sentimental as I tell it. Years ago, when Ellen
was just a little girl, eleven years old to be
exact, she presented me with a Hannukah card which
she herself had made. Tucked inside that card was a
coupon. It was one of the most remarkable gifts I
have ever in my life received. In her child's
handwriting, Ellen stated that the coupon entitled
the bearer, that's me, to have the right to ask her
to fulfill three special chores or tasks. The
possibilities were unlimited -- with only one
restriction that was clearly stated on the bottom of
the coupon. It said: "This package includes
everything except making Ellen get off the phone for
no apparent reason." Well, I tried my best to honor
Ellen's wish. Now, on her wedding day, I'd like to
call in my three special wishes -- and they regard
Ellen's -- and Roger's -- future.
First, I ask them to always be kind to each other.
Second, I beseech them to seek and find happiness
within each and every day. And third, I implore them
both to remember the importance of family, of
staying close, and how we'll be here -- or there, or
anywhere -- for each other, forever.
In "Father of the Bride," after the wedding was over
and all the guests left the house, Spencer Tracy sat
down in a forlorned way. The house, a tumult of
people just hours ago, had grown all too quiet. He
missed his daughter and he felt a terrible sadness,
sensing in a way that she was gone, that something
had irrevocably changed and that he had lost his
little girl forever. Just then, at that very moment
of despair, the phone rang. It was his daughter,
calling from the train station where she and her
brand new husband were about to embark on their
honeymoon. "I just called to thank you, pops,"
gushed the new bride to her father. "And to tell you
that I'll always love you." Suddenly, his heart was
full again. He sang a happy goodbye to his daughter
and then he wiped a joyous tear from his cheek.
Turning to his wife, he said: "Nothing has really
changed at all." It was a wonderful moment, one
filled with peace and confidence and contentment for
all. That is precisely how THIS father of the bride
feels right now.
