1.0 out of 5 stars
appallingly bad,
By david (Devon) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Making the Bridegroom's Speech: Etiquette;Jokes;Sample Speeches;One-liners (Things That Really Matter) (Paperback)
This book is dedicated to "Paula, 'bride' of my life", and this gives you an idea of the standard of the humour on offer here. The example speeches are cringe-makingly awful, and the example jokes range from outrageously inappropiate to bafflingly unfunny, through just plain corny. Many of them I would feel uncomfortable repeating in mixed company, let alone at my wedding (and I'm no prude). The one star I've given this book is because it motivated me to just get on and write my speech, because my efforts could never be worse than the examples in this book. If you're writing a speech I would advise you to do the same and just get on with it, but if you really want to get a book I'd suggest getting the "Confetti" book on wedding speeches- it's slightly less cheesy, and also has some quotes that might be useful. And good luck.

All you need to make a start on your speech,
By A Customer
This review is from: Making the Bridegroom's Speech: Etiquette;Jokes;Sample Speeches;One-liners (Things That Really Matter) (Paperback)
Most of the advice I've seen on websites has either been painfully obvious or quite irrelevant to my situation. After a couple of hours reading this entertaining and helpful book, I was ready to start putting my speech together with confidence and optimism that I didn't have before. It's particularly helpful if you're concerned about how to convey sincere (and expected) emotions without your mates laughing at you!It won't give you masses of content to crib from, though, but it does give enough guidance for you to produce your own material, which is probably better. Well worth the money.

Just sit down and think,

This review is from: Making the Bridegroom's Speech: Etiquette;Jokes;Sample Speeches;One-liners (Things That Really Matter) (Paperback)
I know you're worried about the speech but this book won't help you unless you're on your third marriage and aged 65.Just sit down in the pub with some friends and you'll get more material.It may help you with the protocol but that's it.Jokes are stone age,i read half of it then through it in the bin.
