Mother of the Bride Sample Speech
Ladies and gentlemen, family and friends, thank you all for being here today to celebrate this joyous occasion with us. As the mother of the bride, I am deeply honored and filled with immense happiness to witness my daughter [Bride's Name] and her new husband [Groom's Name] starting this beautiful journey together.

Seeing her now, all grown up and radiating happiness, fills my heart with immense pride and joy. [Bride's Name], you look absolutely stunning, and I am so proud to call you my daughter.
And on the other hand, it's also a day of letting go. As parents, we watch our children grow, learn, and ultimately, forge their own paths.

We trust that he will cherish and love her just as much as we do, and we welcome him with open arms into our family.

To the guests, thank you for being here and sharing in this momentous day. Your presence means the world to us, and your support and love are deeply appreciated.
[Bride's Name] and [Groom's Name], as you embark on this new chapter of your lives, always remember to communicate openly, love fiercely, and cherish one another deeply. Life is filled with ups and downs, but facing them together, hand in hand, makes the journey worthwhile.
So, let us raise our glasses to the newlyweds – to love, happiness, and a lifetime of beautiful memories. May your love grow stronger with each passing day and may you find joy in the little things that life has to offer.
