Simply The Father Of The Bride

"There comes a time in every wedding reception when the man who paid for the damn thing is allowed to speak a word or two of his own." - Rowan Atkinson

So your bank account is glowing red and the bank manager has sent you a lovely letter inviting you in for “a little chat”.

You’re having to pay for dinner for a ridiculously large amount of people, most of whom you’ve never met and will probably never ever see again. As well as a good number you would knowingly cross the street to avoid.

You are about to endure several weekends of dress and hat (?) shopping.

All the women in your life have gone completely crazy and likely to burst into tears at the slightest word from you, no matter how well intentioned.

And most things you do say (“Well I’ve had a word and the local scout hut is free for hire on that date and at quite a reasonable price!”) are largely ignored, shouted down or induce threats of being banished to the spare room for all eternity.

On top of all that you have to write a speech!

Congratulations! You are the Father of the Bride!

While we can’t make any promises about being able to solve all your current pre-wedding woes or even guarantee to help you write the funniest and most poignant speech of all time, we can certainly make the arduous task a little simpler.
