Words of gratitude at the wedding for mom
A wedding is a holiday not only for newlyweds, but also for their parents. The mother of the groom and the mother of the bride deserve special attention. Taking time out at the celebration and expressing your love and gratitude to them is a natural desire for children, and deserves respect.
How to Prepare?
The best gratitude to mom at the wedding will be sincere kind words spoken from the heart. This moment is very exciting. Even experienced speakers, accustomed to speaking in front of an audience, are overwhelmed by emotion and speech becomes crumpled. The gift of improvisation can leave at a crucial moment, so it is important to prepare in advance.
Take some time to retire and be alone with yourself and your feelings for your mom. Remember funny cases from childhood, situations when mother's advice or help came to the rescue. Not always everything goes smoothly in the relationship between parents and children. On this day, you should not remember about grievances and claims.
Sketch the text on paper. You can take them as a basis for ready-made blanks, but it is better to do without templates. Despite the fact that the speech is delivered with a large number of guests, it is intended primarily for the mother. Pompous, pretentious phrases should be abandoned, choosing the simplest warm words and images that are understandable to her.
Choose the most gentle words for addressing your mother: sweetheart, dear, dear, beloved, golden. Make it clear that there is no person closer or closer to your mother in the world.
Memorize the finished text by rehearsing several times. Just in case, prepare a cheat sheet by writing the thank you note on your holiday card. Beautiful poems will be a great addition. And the song performed will become a bright and touching decoration of the celebration.
It's a good idea to show slides with baby photos from the family album.
From daughter
Expressing gratitude, the daughter can tell the guests about the wonderful qualities and merits of her mother, name the character traits inherited from her, the acquired skills and abilities, thank her for protecting her from all hardships and sorrows with her love. For softness and tenderness on the one hand, and rigor and exactingness on the other. Mother's work and efforts, sleepless nights, good wishes and blessings were not in vain. All talents now have to reveal themselves in family life. And the best reward for a mother for a given life, a joyful childhood and a bright youth will be motherhood for her daughter, which will bring the opportunity to do the same for her child.
Mom will be pleased to hear that despite the constant chores around the house, work, caring for loved ones, she is beautiful and talented, she is the standard of a wife and mother, a role model for a young bride.
Be sure to emphasize that despite the fact that the husband and the new family have come to the fore of an adult daughter, mother's support, wisdom, life experience are very important at this stage of her life no less than before.
A sincere "thank you" should be said to mom for taking part in the pre-holiday chores and preparing the bride for the celebration, for gifts and material assistance.
On the wedding day, the bride finds a second mother - mother-in-law. It is very pleasant for the groom's mother to receive words of gratitude from the bride for raising her son. Talking about the merits of her husband and recognizing the merit of his mother in this, the bride shows not only respect, but also learns to build relationships with future relatives.
From son
Men are usually laconic. Here it is important to cope with the excitement, not to squeeze and be yourself, to clearly and clearly express your thoughts, while showing sincere feelings: respect, recognition and love.
The son thanks his mother for her tenderness, care, understanding, for patience and endurance, for useful lessons and advice. For the fact that in difficult moments of growing up, my mother consoled, spoke affectionate words, tried to cheer, and she succeeded. For sometimes putting the needs and interests of the child ahead of her own. For bringing up a protector and breadwinner and leading him to the fact that he can now take responsibility for his new family and take care of his young wife.
You can ask for forgiveness for rebellious antics and unwillingness to obey. So many things happened in childhood and especially during the "difficult age". Feeling their strength, wanting to free themselves from custody, often boys hurt their mothers with their harsh words, without even noticing it.
Another woman now reigns in his heart - his wife. It is important to assure that the love for the mother is still great and the son is her support and protection at all times.
This is the case when you should not be ashamed of your emotions and you can give free rein to your feelings.
It will also not be easy for the bride's mother to the groom to say words of gratitude. After all, from now on, her clever and beautiful woman goes to another family. It is important for the groom to make it clear that under his auspices the young wife will be happy, live in prosperity and abundance. There are no reasons for alarm and concern. You can thank the bride for the beauty and light temper. And a loving glance full of adoration cast at a young wife will be more eloquent than any words.
Having shed a sea of tears, you can complete the ritual with a bow from the bride and groom or a warm hug.
