Frequently Asked Questions
What should I include in my sister-in-law of the groom speech?
Your speech should include a brief introduction explaining your relationship to the groom, 1-2 observations or anecdotes that highlight the groom's character from your perspective, an acknowledgment of your spouse (his sibling), a warm welcome to the bride into the extended family, and sincere congratulations and well wishes for the couple. The best speeches balance genuine warmth, appropriate personal observations, and heartfelt wishes for the future.
How should I approach my speech if I'm newer to the family?
If you haven't known the groom for very long, focus on quality observations rather than lengthy history. Share what you've noticed about his character, what you appreciate about how he's welcomed you into the family, or the positive qualities you've observed. It's perfectly fine to acknowledge that while your relationship is still growing, you're looking forward to the years ahead as family. Authenticity matters more than longevity in relationships, so speak from your genuine experience, even if it's limited.
How do I reference my spouse (the groom's sibling) appropriately?
Your spouse is your connection to the groom, so acknowledging them makes sense. However, keep the focus primarily on the bride and groom. A brief mention like "Through Sarah, I've had the privilege of getting to know Michael over the past few years..." establishes your connection without shifting focus. You might also briefly mention something you've observed about their sibling relationship that reflects positively on the groom. Avoid lengthy stories about your spouse or your relationship with them, as that could take attention away from the couple being celebrated.
What's the best way to welcome the bride to the family?
As someone who has already joined the family through marriage, you have a unique position to welcome the bride. Share a sincere observation about how she and the groom complement each other or what you've noticed about their relationship. You might offer a light-hearted insight about joining the family or mention a family tradition she'll now be part of. Keep it warm and authentic, focusing on the positive aspects of becoming part of the family. Something like "As someone who joined this family a few years ago, I can assure you it's been one of life's greatest gifts, and I'm delighted to welcome you to our extended family."
How much emotion is appropriate in my speech?
The level of emotion should match your genuine relationship with the groom and your own comfort level with expressing feelings publicly. Sincerity is more important than forced sentimentality. If your relationship is warm but not deeply emotional, keep your tone friendly and positive without overplaying the emotional aspect. If you do feel moved during your speech, that's completely natural at a wedding. Most importantly, express your authentic good wishes for the couple in a way that feels true to who you are and your relationship with the groom.
