[quote=Anonymous]I see wedding speeches every weekend and I have a little general advice: 1) Don’t talk about yourself. Looking at you, parents. 2) “Fast or funny”. If you don’t have the gift of writing or public speaking (and many people don’t), keep it short. 3) Put the work in. Do not wing it. These people end up rambling and saying nothing. It’s awkward for everyone. I’ve heard some really incredible speeches. When they’re great, they’re one of the best parts of the day. Most are not great. Know where you stand. It’s okay to just be short and polite. But to OP’s question: I thinks it’s fine to say something about his mature quest for self-development and how that makes him such a great friend and partner, but I would leave it all so vague that only the inner circle might assume the meaning. The catering staff should not learn about family drama at a wedding. It should not invite the dad to fight someone (it happens) When in doubt, leave it out. Fast or funny. [/quote]
