yea we plan to do a speech but the thought alone makes me nervous--I have no idea what to say.

@pat291: Go tanning! It helps. I'm glad to be making a speech---I hate being at weddings and never actaully hearing from the bride or groom.
We plan to say some words at our rehearsal dinner but not at our wedding. We will leave the talking up to the other people! That would make me way too nervous! Im already nervous enough thinking about our rehearsal dinner speech!!!
I don't think we are going to make a speech nor anyone in our wedding party. We are all too shy to. Do you think that would be akward?
We're doing to say a quick welcome right after our grand entrance...
We plan to speak, but it will be short and simple. I just want to really thank everyone for coming and traveling so far. It will mean more to me than they'll ever truly know. I want them to know it's appreciated.
We thought about it, then decided it against it. My hubs hates public speaking, I don't love it either. And I knew I'd be emotional so who needs to see me cry an extra time? No one. We opted to do a lil speech at the rehearsal dinner... but after my hubby spoke, I chickened out and said, "what he said :oD". Its really a nice touch though, people always enjoy it.
Isn't it strange when things dawn on you?!
Yes, we both plan to speak briefly. I'm not sure what The Guy's planning to say, but i plan to thank everyone for coming, thank my family, thank his family and then say a few words about The Guy...we'll see how far I can get into it before breaking out the ugly cry!
I plan to - not sure if FI will or not - have no idea what I'm going to say... might just wing it!
My DH wrote the most wonderful speech ever. We both agreed that we needed to say something to thank our parents and everyone that made the journey to our wedding...but he would never let me read it! It turned out to be the sweetest speech I have ever heard. He thanked our family and friends and then had a special part just about me and us.
I think guests appreciate hearing from the bride and groom. (though I doubt they will feel slighted or like they missed something if the b&g choose not to say anything)
Are you going to acknowledge Mrs Crazy? 
"Our wedding has been sweet for us and bitter for one amongst us..."
We might say something at the end of the reception, maybe shortly before we leave? Probably just thank everyone for coming and supporting us or something along those lines.
Now I'm happy I took that public speaking class a few semesters ago. :)
No we aren't planning to. Also, neither of us has attended a wedding where speeches were made by anyone, particularly the couple, and no one in attendance was put off by it either.
No, we are not doing any speeches. I often find that speeches tend to be about personal matters and I'm a very private person and don't want everyone to know our business.
We are doing a receiving line and will thank each individual person for coming during that.
We had a few speeches - both of our dads, DH, me, my sister the MOH and DH's friend the Best Man. It added a lot to our reception because it was mostly my family and friends and it gave everyone a chance to hear from DH, DH's dad and friend and for me to tell everyone why I decided to marry him. ;o)
DH is Irish and toasts/speeches are very common and can go on for an hour or more - ours weren't that long but they still were important to have.
I didn't prepare anything to say - I just spoke off the cuff but public speaking doesn't bother me at all and the fact that I was surrounded by family and friends and standing beside my new husband only made it easier.

FI and I have opted to address veveryone at the end of dinner. For months I've been thinking of what to say and just didn't come up with anything I liked. Well today, while lying in the tanning bed, it came to me! I literally got out the tanning bed...stark naked, and wrote my thoughts down on an old reciept in my purse. It's so strange how sometimes these things just "come" to you! Now I cannot wait to make our speech! I just hope I can do it without crying.
Are you making a speech or toast? What are you saying?
