Book Description
Weddings have come a long way since the first etiquette books were written. Today families come in such variety that more and more couples are sensibly throwing etiquette to the wind and relying instead on their own common sense. So where does the father of the bride fit into all of this? There are so many ways you can help, both emotionally and practically. You’ll find that one of your responsibilities – apart from walking your daughter down the aisle and making a speech – is ensuring that the chaos of wedding details, and any family feuds or financial stress, don’t ultimately get in the way of making your daughter’s wedding day the happiest time in her life. This will be a big day for you, too, with the speech playing an important part in the proceedings. You’ll want to get it just right so that you speak from the heart but enliven sentiment with humour, and your speech is remembered for years to come – for all the right reasons. This book is packed with valuable tips and advice about: – Conveying just the right messages to your daughter and her husband-to-be – Understanding what is traditionally expected of you – Keeping everyone calm and defusing any pre-wedding tensions and conflicts – Making a memorable speech – Helping everyone have a great time!
