Wedding speeches are expected to be individual, memorable, and much, much more-a task that can spark fear in even the most experienced speaker. Wedding Speeches and Toasts removes all anxiety. With its guidance, anyone can speak with poise, confident that the other guests will respond with admiration. Its advice is suitable for all types of ceremonies, from the traditional first time wedding to second and same sex marriages, and it includes a handy guide to wedding etiquette-who speaks when and what they should say. Complete with suggested readings and jokes-as well as sample speeches for pre-wedding occasions such as the engagement party or the stag party or hen night-this is the perfect guide for any wedding speaker.

A short little book on the etiquette of what to say, how to say and prepare and even how to deliver a wedding speech.
All aspects of speech making is addressed and how it can be adapted for a wedding toast.
Full of the dos and dont's of what to say and when, witticisms, when humour is appropriate, poems that can be included and many other things that all help on the big day.
Of absolutely no use to me but interesting in the way the correct procedure has to be followed this would be of invaluable help to those stressing and struggling if asked to make a speech at someone's wedding.
A good read overall.
