Default Help - Got to be toastmaster
Hi

Apparently my best man duties on Thursday have been extended to announcing the Bride & Groom into the wedding Breakfast and announcing the speeches.

Quick question for anyone that has any experience - my wedding was 3 years ago so cant rememeber

Do I announce them as the Bride & Groom or Mr & Mrs Jones?

Also when announcing the speeches presumably I just ask for quiet then announce the father of the bride / groom would like to say a few words?

Thanks

ours said "please be upstanding for the bride and groom" he tapped the table quite hard with a spoon to get quiet as for the speaches I think what you have said above is perfect

Y'see tapping the glass with the spoon wouldn't help over here- that's seen as the cue for the bride and groom to kiss, and it happens ALL night!
