No- there are no rules, but tradition has always been that the Groom, the Best Man and the bride's father make the speeches.


The bride just sits and eats the cake and thinks '"At last- I've got him"!

I got married 5 weeks ago and we did the traditional Groom, Best Man and my dad. However, a friend of mine was married 2 weeks before me and she gave a speech herself, her father-in-law to be gave her away and they had two best men, both giving speeches.
The readings & speeches can be made by anyone. At our wedding, the readings were made by an old friend of mine & our 9-year old bridesmaid. We didn't have a father of the bride to make a speech (a close friend gave Mrs Pid away). But we did have 2 best-men, and Mrs Pid made a speech at our wedding as well as me. So, to answer your question, it's not "normal" but there are no rules either. If you want to make a speech & your bloke doesn't I personally think that would be very cool.
Anyone can do a reading, and anyone can do a speech. It is up for you to choose,
..just bear in mind quality over quantity.

do you mean at the ceremony? I did a reading at my civil ceremony 5 years ago - the beautiful leo marks poem


the life that i have


is all that i have


and the life that i have is yours



the love that i have


of the life that i have


is your and yours and yours



a rest i shall have


a sleep i shall have


yet death will be but a pause



for the peace of my years


in the long green green grass


will be yours and yours and yours




im a girl by the way

no its not tell your husband or who ever asked you to to do it them selves the lazy muppet
