| Single Mother of the Bride Speech |
My daughter is getting married in June and I am wondering if I have to give a toast? Her biological father will not be attending. I’m rather shy and would prefer to let others in the wedding party give speeches.

ReginaLove, that is SO great to hear! As for soy, it may help with menopause symptoms -- it it controversial. The best way to use soy is in the form of whole fermented soy foods (miso, tempeh, tamari and natto). Non-fermented soy foods such as soy mi
Agreed. I never thought I was vain until I had a mastectomy at age 39. I was devastated and told the doc I wanted to wake up with implants. Now at age 60, I am lopsided and wondering if I was just avoiding the inevitable. You get what you get and you
Sounds very interesting.Spike, you are awesome! Love your perspective, thanks for sharing.
hEll no. I believe YOUR suppose to be toasted as the Mother of the Bride. maybe one of those wedding etiquette folks might want to chime in on this. But I as Mother of the Groom I certainly was toasted at both of my sons weddings, one very formal, the other much more casual.
Why do we have to do what we’re “supposed” to do according to some book? Let your daughter plan a wedding that she likes and forget what’s supposed to happen or who’s supposed to do what. Not a single wedding I ever attended had a format list of speeches or things people were supposed to do … big messy Italian feasts was all they were! All you “should” do is have a great time and don’t worry about anyone else!
I’ve never been to a wedding reception where the bride’s mother gave a toast. But you are asking because her bio-dad isn’t going to be there, right? I have seen the bride’s father give a toast. Does she have a special uncle or godfather? What about her grandfather? But I agree with NanaCatharine and New-Name, you should do what’s okay for you. Congrats to the mother of the bride.
Yes, I was asking because her bio-dad isn’t attending, and Grandfathers are both deceased and no uncle.
Thank you for your response and support!
Oh dear! What about a minister, a teacher she adored and vice versa, sunday school teacher, someone she worked for that was like a father figure to her. What about the father of her lifelong best friend. There’s got to be someone.
