Need some help in writing a gift-giving speech for a wedding (I'm the groom by the way). Here are the particulars.
The purpose of this, lets call it…SCRIPT, is to be read by one of my ‘female helpers’ on my wedding day, for the presentation of a gift to be given to the Bride, Mom (my mom) and Granddaughter (brides granddaughter) while the 3 girls are getting ready/dressing (hence why a female is going to be reading this script). The gift is each girl will be given a necklace of pearls. Again, this 'letter/script' will not be spoken publically, just privately to the 3 ladies in their changing room right before the wedding).
Here are some thoughts/key points about all of this.
Granddaughter (brides granddaughter, and Grooms now step granddaughter) – Name is Averi
- it's her first string of pearls.
- my wish for her to view these two other women (her Grandma(the bride) and her now step Great-Grandma (my mom) as great role models to look up to.
o The Bride (her real grandmother), very successful nurse and great mom to 2 daughters. Has been with me for +18 years now
o The (step) GreatGrandma (my mom) very successful homemaker and MOM to 4 boys (so kinda symbolic of the wide range of successful women in front of her)
(I am not a fan of using the “step” term by the way)
- Need to convey that she is now one of the 3 most important girls in my life (Bride, my mom, and now her by joining our families together today)
My Mom – Name is Jackie (Jacqueline)
- I don’t think she has a set of pearls, but not sure if I want to bring attention to this
- She was great welcoming (Bride) into my life and our family (Such Family)
- Now serves as Great-Grandma to Averi
- Always been a great Mom to me for 40 years
Bride - obviously its her day. -Name is Fi (Fidelia) (pronounced F-eye… like wi-FI)
- Insert any mushy stuff about she is now my family and my most important thing in my life. However because she has her daughters/granddaughter, they are now just as important to me as she is
o (FYI the brides daughter will be there during the day, but not really mentioning her in this gift event)
Order of presentation of pearls will be as listed above – Avery, Mom, Bride. So again, this poem/letter/whatever is to be read by a ‘helper’, as she gives each box to the appropriate person at the appropriate time/sequence.
Some additional thoughts
- Would be nice to somehow ‘motion’ or suggest that my Mom help place the necklace on the Granddaughter. Then Bride helps my mom with her set, then both my mom and granddaughter help Bride. (now sure how that realistically would go, just a thought).

- Pearl Meanings
o white pearl signifies innocence and purity. They also indicate a new beginning, which is why they are worn by brides(use one, several, or none). (just giving ideas here)
Total "speech" time should be about 3-4 minutes, with pauses in there to allow each lady to put on her new pearls.
In summary, looking for someone who is in touch with their romantic side, with a touch (10-15%) of humor thrown in.
Don't need this necessarily in a "poem" format, but would like something....majestic and memorable. Will be eventually printed, and given to each lady down the road.
Task Completion time - negotiable. I understand creative writting may take a little pondering, so just let me know what YOU think a good turnaround time is.
Are you a love writer?
