Wedding Speech for Father of the Bride by Bride

    "First of all, I would like to thank all my guests for being a part of the most special day of my life, i.e. my wedding. A warm welcome to everyone!

I know in some time my life will change completely – I will not only be my parents’ little girl, but someone’s wife and daughter-in-law. It will indeed be a big responsibility to shoulder. I already have butterflies fluttering in my stomach. But before I step out from my parents’ home to enter into a new world altogether, I would like to extend a special note of thanks to my father. He has always been an encouraging figure in my life whom I have always looked up to. Never once did he discourage me in following my own path. Being his only child, he has showered all his love and care on me and always treated me like his son.

I am quite close to my father and I have seen him working hard every day for me and my mother and doing all those small-small things for keeping the happiness quotient intact and making both of us feel truly special. And now that I will no longer be there with them, both of them and especially my father who is going to feel extremely lonely – because he is my confidante and the one who used to hide all my mischief from my mother. If anything used to go wrong, I know my father will take care of it. He has always been that protective shield which could never fail. Amidst all the obscure days and times of uncertainty, my father has come to my rescue. So I am extremely elated at the beginning of my new life, but sad at the same time of having to leave my parents and my father, my best friend.

Before bringing an end to my speech, I would want to thank my father once again for being such a fantastic and best father on this planet. You are the one who could sense my sadness behind my smile and could never say ‘no’ to any of my demands Thank you for your unconditional love and support and cheers to my wonderful parents!
