Doing it on Saturday evening, kept it fairly short, couple of anecdotes about my daughter, giving a nod to my son in law who’s a top bloke (despite being a Spurs fan) how nice all the ladies look, thank the caterers and venue, toast the Bride and Groom.

Have I missed anything?

Thanks

PS Not having a drink till I’ve finished speaking 👍

When I got married, I forgot to mention my bride! It's been 30 years so I think she has got over it! 🙂
FotB is not in the near future as far as I know, so can't help there, good luck.

What’s the difference between a Tottenham Hotspur trophy cabinet and a museum​

A museum is actually filled with awards and memorabilia from the past.

Could use a variation of the above on a cleaning option ???

Start with all the thank yous, it's easy to do and gets it out the way while a few wives are still shushing drunken uncles. Also you don't want to finish with that as it's about your daughter.
Anecdotes about daughter.
First meeting with groom
Light ribbing of groom
Nice observations of them as a couple.
Possible light piss take of them as couple (depends on number of humourless relatives)
Comparison to own happy marriage if faintly applicable for bonus points from wife.
Best wishes for future
Toast.

Are you confident enough to do it without notes, I wasn’t, but then you are comfortable with public speaking. It’ll be fine :thumbsup:

Despite being such a shy and retiring charachter, I'm sure you'll be fine ;)

Good Luck - and have a great day - weather looks pretty good for the weekend.

Not forgetting the tradition Dad joke that weddings are emotional occasions as even the cake is in tiers.

However, I'm told the other joke about "why do brides wear white? To match the other domestic appliances" is no longer seen as acceptable:)

Congratulations on your daughter's upcoming wedding. Hope it's a great day and your speech goes well 😀
