"If Chosen as an Escort, How to Prepare! What to Say for a Brief Greeting During Intermission?"

If You Are Nominated as the Escort for the Intermission＊

During the wedding banquet, the bride and groom each nominate important people and those who have supported them, and exit together.

**[Grandparents]**

**[Siblings]**

**[Close Friends]**

It’s common to ask these individuals.

Being chosen as an escort, which is a main role for guests, is an honor and a happy occasion.

It can be nerve-wracking, but it will become a wonderful memory ♩

If you are personally nominated in advance by the bride and groom for the escort role...!

(Or, if you haven’t been informed beforehand but think you might be surprised by a nomination...)

On the day, you might find yourself in a situation where the host says,

“○○-san, please say a few words,”

and you have to speak in front of everyone...!

What Should I Say?

If you are nominated as the intermission escort and are asked to say a few words in front of everyone...

For those who are not comfortable speaking in public, trying to come up with something on the spot can make you even more nervous and disorganized in your thoughts.

You don't need to speak at length like a friend’s speech or formal congratulatory remarks, and there’s no need to create a structure with humor or emotion, but

even a short greeting can be a thoughtful and good word for the bride and groom.

Therefore, I have compiled some examples of what would be nice to say during the intermission greeting ♩

One-liner Greeting from the Escort ①

Congratulations on your marriage, ○○-san and ○○-chan.

I’m so happy to have been chosen as your escort and to experience ○○-chan’s lovely bride appearance and happy smile up close.

Wishing you both eternal happiness.

One-liner Greeting from the Escort ②

Congratulations, ○○-kun and big sister.

I’ve been looking forward to this moment ever since you asked if I could be your escort.

Thank you for choosing me as your escort.

One-liner Greeting from the Escort ③

I am incredibly happy to have been entrusted with such a wonderful and special role.

Congratulations on your marriage, ○○-kun and ○○-chan.

One-liner Greeting from the Escort ④

I am ○○, the sister of the bride.

I can hardly contain my emotions as three years ago at my wedding, ○○-chan was my escort, and now I am honored to accompany her at her wedding.

Congratulations! I wish you all the happiness.

One-liner Greeting from the Escort ⑤

Congratulations, ○○-kun and ○○-chan.

I have heard so much about how much ○○-chan loves the groom, ○○-kun, since they started dating, so seeing them united today in such a beautiful setting makes this day the best.

Please take good care of ○○-chan.

One-liner Greeting from the Escort ⑥

Congratulations, ○○-kun and ○○-san.

I have known the groom, ○○-kun, for over 10 years since we were clubmates in high school. He looked handsome in his uniform, but today’s tuxedo really suits him.

With his heroic spirit and kindness, I am sure that he will make ○○-san the happiest person in the world.

One-liner Greeting from the Escort ⑦

The bride, ○○-chan, is cute, kind, and a dear friend from long ago.

When I heard that such a lovely person is marrying my beloved ○○-san, I thought they are truly a perfect match.

Even after marriage, let’s continue to hang out and go on outings together.

Wishing you happiness with ○○-san.

May It Be a Wonderful Intermission Time.

If you are nominated as the escort and are to say a few words,

* Words of congratulations on the wedding

* Gratitude for being chosen as the escort

* Memories or episodes with the bride and groom

* Joy in their marriage and best wishes for the future

It would be good to express these simply while looking at the bride and groom’s faces ♩

If you are nominated in advance or think that you might be surprised with a nomination... let’s come up with a simple thought for your intermission greeting in advance ♩
