As an impending groom and worried about making a speech I sought solace in the fact that there were books out there to help me put a decent one together. How mistaken I was. I purchased a few of them and this one was the worst of the bunch. Lame lines and tired old jokes. Most of the speeches were insulting rather than funny. Save your money.

This book is slightly archaic and the author presumes all girls are waitresses/shop assistants/secretarys/nurses/school teachers. I ordered this for my Dad who also found it to be more suitable for a wedding taking place 30 or 40 years ago. Definitely a book that needs to be updated for speeches about todays women !!

With my daughter's wedding coming up, I was dreading the prospect of having to make a speech. This book was recommended to me and it was exactly what I needed.
All the speeches seem to convey just the right tone of the day - light-hearted, humorous but always appropriate and sincere. I'd recommend this book to anyone - whether they're the bride's father, groom or best man. An excellent book.
