Looking at the voices of experienced brides, some said things like, "He's usually so composed and confident, but he seemed really nervous on the wedding day," or "He was completely relaxed and not nervous at all."

Brides often felt unsure about what to say to their grooms, and there were some comments about how they wish they had said certain things on the wedding day.

So this time, we will introduce seven points to remember regarding the words and mindset to offer to the groom on the wedding day.＊

Words to Say to the Groom on the Wedding Day ① About the Ceremony

On the wedding day, the groom tends to focus on the moments where he has to speak into the microphone, like the welcome speech and groom's speech. It's common to hear stories of grooms trying hard to memorize their speeches that morning.

However, the wedding starts with the "ceremony," not the reception.

The ceremony has many moments for the groom, such as:

☑ Escorting the bride from her father

☑ Veil lifting

☑ Signing the marriage certificate

☑ Vows

and so on, so he needs to remember this sequence during the rehearsal.

Sometimes grooms say, "I hadn't thought about the ceremony at all, but after practicing, my mind was filled with the ceremony details. I got so nervous trying to memorize everything that I forgot my speech altogether."

Therefore, it would be good to remind him on the wedding day that, "It's not just about the speech; are you okay with the flow of the ceremony? Let's review before the rehearsal!"

Of course, it's best to do this not only on the day itself but also in advance.♩

Words to Say to the Groom on the Wedding Day ⑤ About Alcohol

At weddings, grooms often end up drinking too much as they are encouraged by various people. Even if the groom usually drinks a lot, he needs to be careful not to overindulge since he has a speech at the end of the reception!

At most weddings, they prepare a "discard bucket" near the groom’s seat. This is for any leftover drinks he couldn’t finish.

If he drinks everything that’s poured for him, he’ll get tipsy in no time, so be sure to let him know, "It’s okay not to drink everything!"＊

Words to Say to the Groom on the Wedding Day ⑥ About the Bride's Letter

Traditionally, while the bride is reading her letter, it’s customary for the groom to wrap his arms around her waist and gently wipe away any tears if they arise.

So, it’s advisable to hand him the bride’s bridal handkerchief in advance.♩

You should tell him, "Please keep a gentle watch while I read the letter."＊

Finally, let’s discuss the groom's speech. The groom's speech comes at the very end of the reception. You want him to deliver a powerful and stylish message that conveys his gratitude to the guests.♩

Since it’s probably difficult to change the pre-prepared text on the wedding day, encourage him by saying, "I hope your feelings of gratitude will come through to everyone who came! Let’s do our best!"＊
