Speech order and suggested content of speeches, traditional weddings.

Until recently there were traditionally only 3 speakers in this order, the Father of the Bride or whoever is taking his place, the Groom and the Best man.  Nowadays it has become more common for other people to speak, especially the Father of the Groom and the Bride herself.

Your reception premises may have their own order, but if not I would recommend the order as;

Father of the Bride or whoever is taking his place
Father of the Groom
Groom
Bride
Best man

Below is some suggested content for the individual speeches.
