Father of the bride speech

Hi,

I'm a freelance journalist who writes content for Saga. I've asked the mods and they have kindly given me permission to post some questions on here so that I can get some real life experiences.

If anyone would be up for contributing to some quotes that I can use (it will only be first names that are used and I can use a fake one) that would be really helpful.

One of the articles I am working on is about writing a memorable father of the bride speech! Can any of you dads offer any advice on what made your speech a success (or perhaps what didn't!). Many thanks,

Julia
