Before I say anything else, there's a little surprise we've been keeping. Some people use speeches to thank their parents. Some to crack jokes.
We're using ours to tell you… we're three months pregnant. Yes, tonight you're not just celebrating a wedding, you're celebrating a family in the making. To love, laughter, and the tiny plus-one who's already gate-crashing our honeymoon. To family!
This speech leads with humor — but it's warm humor, not stand-up comedy. The laughs create trust with the audience, which makes the sincere moments at the end hit harder.
At 63 words, it proves you don't need length to make an impact. Every line earns its place.
If you're not sure how to start your own version, it's often easier to talk your speech out first and shape it into a structured version. You can also explore our guide to writing a wedding speech for a step-by-step approach.
Talk through your stories and let Nail The Speech turn them into a joint couple speech that sounds like you.
