Nephew of the Bride Speech Examples

Most of you know me, but for the record, I'm [Nephew's name], and [Bride's name] is my aunt. Not my cool aunt. My aunt who sat through three hours of middle-school band concerts just to hear me miss one note on the trumpet. She drove me home afterward and said, "You know, the trumpet might not be your thing." That was the nicest way anyone had ever told me I was bad at something. When she told me about [Groom's name], I did what any reasonable nephew would do. I looked him up online. I asked a few people. Then I made sure to be at the first family dinner so I could watch how he treated the server. He passed. He also remembered that I play basketball and asked real questions instead of pretending to care. [Groom's name], I'm still watching. But I like what I've seen. You make her laugh in a way that makes the rest of the room want to know the joke. Take care of her. Or I'll find you. To [Bride's name] and [Groom's name].

Hi. I'm [Nephew's name], and I'm [Bride's name]'s nephew. I wanted to say something about my aunt. Aunt [Bride's name] makes the best pancakes. They're shaped like animals sometimes. Even when they're just circles, they're really good. She lets me put on as much syrup as I want. My mom doesn't let me do that. One time we built a fort in her living room with every blanket she owned. It took up the whole couch. We stayed in there and watched movies until I fell asleep. She didn't even move me. She just slept on the floor next to the fort. [Groom's name], you're okay. I guess you can marry her. But you have to promise to make her pancakes sometimes too. Not better than hers, though. That would be rude. I love you, Aunt [Bride's name]. I'm glad you're happy. Congratulations!

Hi everyone. I'm [Nephew's name], [Bride's name]'s nephew. Aunt [Bride's name] taught me how to fish when I was ten. I didn't catch anything for three trips. On the fourth one, I finally reeled something in. It was a boot. She took a picture and framed it. That boot still hangs in her hallway. [Groom's name], you seem like someone who would also think a boot is worth framing. That works for me. Aunt [Bride's name], thank you for being patient with me, and for teaching me that some trips are about the boat, not the fish. I'm happy you found him. To you both.

My name is [Nephew's name]. [Bride's name] is my aunt, and for most of my life, she's been one of the first people I call when something goes wrong. A few years ago, I called her after messing up a job interview. I was ready for advice, or sympathy, or both. Instead she said, "Tell me exactly what happened, and don't make yourself sound better than you were." I did. She listened, then asked one question: "Would you hire you?" I said no. She said, "Then fix that part, and call me after the next one." I did. She answered. That's how she's always been. She doesn't rescue you. She makes you want to rescue yourself. [Groom's name], I don't know what you did to earn her, but I can see you know what you have. That matters. To [Bride's name] and [Groom's name]. May the next call be good news.

I'm [Nephew's name], and I have known [Bride's name] my entire life, which is long enough to know that she is a very good aunt and a very bad singer. She used to drive me to school. Every morning, without fail, she would try to hit the high note in some song from before I was born. The windows were down. The neighbors were awake. I begged her to stop. She said it built character. I'm still working on whether that's true. [Groom's name], you are signing up for a lifetime of car concerts. I hope you're ready. Also, she claims she can cook, but her specialty is ordering pizza and calling it "Italian night." Just so you know what you're getting into. But she's also the person who showed up to every one of my games. Even the away ones. Even when it rained. So the singing is a small price. To the two of you. Good luck out there.
