Important elements for the groom’s speech: organisation and acknowledgements
Preparing your speech in advance is crucial! It is best to avoid improvisation, especially in front of such an important audience. If you do not want to read the entire speech, it is useful to draw up a series of key points so that you do not forget the essential elements, but still speak with emotion, spontaneity and without shyness. Don’t forget to thank those who helped and supported you: prepare a list of names that includes all those who supported you in organising the event, leaving a special place for the bride, whom you can call ‘wife’ for the first time.
Knowing the traditions concerning the groom
There are many wedding traditions concerning the bride and groom, together and separately, and knowing them is the first step in deciding whether or not to follow them. According to tradition, the future husband must not see the bride the day before the wedding to avoid bad luck. Also, on the wedding day, the groom cannot go back home: if he forgets something, he must send someone else to pick it up. One of the most widespread traditions is the bouquet, the last gift the fiancé gives the bride-to-be. Depending on customs, the bouquet may be sent to the bride’s home with a card, delivered by the future mother-in-law or by the groom directly to the altar. Other customs considered auspicious include the cutting of the groom’s tie, to be distributed to the invited men, and entering the house with the bride in his arms.
Respect them or break them?
There are traditions that no one can do without, not even couples who describe themselves as more modern and unconventional. This means that respecting traditions is still important and lends a touch of charm and magic to one of the most beautiful days of one’s life. Once you know the main groom’s traditions, you can consciously decide whether to follow them or not: whether to avoid them because they are seen only as superstitious rituals, or to appreciate them as a poetic link to the past. Either way, we at Villa Orsini will strive to make the bride and groom’s special day unforgettable.
