    I'm doing one as my Father won't be there, and my biological mother isn't going to be involved (though will be a guest) .. There are people that will be there that will need a special mention from me, and a thank you. x

    I'm not going to, although part of me really wanted to get up and say a few of my own thank you's. I'm sure I could change my mind on the day if I really wanted to say a few words - after a couple of glasses of wine! x

    i wanted my MOH or BM 's to do one but all have flat our refused to as they are nervous speakers so looks like i will be doing one i dont mind speaking infront of everyone as its all family and close friends so they all no me and i havent got anyone to impress that an i want to point out a few key points when it comes to my H2B and how much i love him even though he drives me round the bend and to say thankyou to everyone who came and a big thankyou to all that helped (i love being the center of attention apparenty as H2B has just pointed out lol)

    I'm going to do one, but not anything long, and mine will be at the reception, rather than the breakfast, so i'll have a couple of drinks in me to steady my nerves :-) x

    I would do one, but I'm a terrible public speaker. I hesitate and stutter- not attractive
