At mine it was best man, groom then my maid of honour. Neither of my parents wanted to and I was perfectly happy with how it went.

Me (bride), groom, and groom's brother. Have whoever you want/wants to say a few words. Traditions aren't compulsory.

We're not going traditional. My dad suffers with IBS & is a very nervous person. I told him he can do a speech if he wants to but if he doesn't want to, I'm fine with that. He asked when I need to let him know by & I told him he can let me know at the time of the speeches. I want him to enjoy the day so I'd rather he didn't do one but I'm leaving it up to him. The best man & groom will be doing speeches & I may say a few words too

Brides father groom best man not in that order groom first then brides father then best man. At mine i have no father so my moh husband is giving me away and doing speech. I am probably going to do a short one to as it was my mums 80 th birthday in January and she was ill so had no party or fuss made.

At my wedding we had the traditional speeches (father of bride, best man and groom) but I really wanted to thank a few special people and say a few words about people who were missing from our big day so as the bride I went first and did a speech to kick them off :)

Lots of men haha
We are having my maid of honour his best man my h2b and his auntie . I hate speeches but my man wanted them so i had to give in . Just hate how self praising it is . It is the only thing I dislike about my h2b that he likes to talk about himself and likes others to talk about him way too much .
