Stepfather of the groom speech questions
Should a stepfather of the groom speak at all?
If the couple want you to, yes. It is increasingly common. Ask early so it goes on the running order rather than being squeezed in between courses.
How do I talk about his father?
Warmly and by name if you have it, in a real line rather than a disclaimer. Avoiding the subject is what makes a step-parent speech feel guarded.
How long should it be?
Two to four minutes is plenty, about 300 to 600 words. Short and sincere beats long and careful.
