The couple getting married is [COUPLE_NAMES]. My relationship and history with [WHO:select:the bride,the groom,both of them]: [RELATIONSHIP_HISTORY] Stories or memories I could share: [STORIES] What I admire about them or their relationship: [ADMIRATION] The wedding vibe is [VIBE:select:formal and elegant,casual and relaxed,fun and party-focused,intimate and emotional,traditional,non-traditional or quirky]. I am comfortable with [HUMOR:select:keeping it mostly heartfelt with maybe one light moment,mixing humor and sentiment equally,leading with humor then getting sincere,keeping it purely sincere - no jokes]. The speech should be about [LENGTH:select:1-2 minutes,2-3 minutes,3-5 minutes]. Write a complete wedding speech I can personalize and practice.

Get Early AccessYou agreed to give a wedding speech months ago. It seemed easy then. Now the wedding is next week and you have a blank note card, three half-written drafts in your phone, and a growing sense of dread. The pressure is real: everyone is watching, the couple matters to you, and the line between memorable and mortifying is thinner than you think.
This prompt writes a complete, ready-to-practice wedding speech based on your role, your [RELATIONSHIP_HISTORY] with the couple, the [STORIES] you want to share, what you [ADMIRATION] about them, and your comfort level with humor. Best man, maid of honor, parent, sibling, or friend: each role carries different expectations, and the AI knows them.
The speech opens with a hook that is not "Webster's dictionary defines love as..." It weaves your [STORIES] into a narrative that reveals something genuine about [COUPLE_NAMES]. It builds to an emotional moment without becoming a therapy session. And it ends with a toast that gives people a reason to raise their glass. Delivery notes tell you where to pause, where to look at the couple, and where the room will laugh. Practice it in the Dock Editor to time yourself and make edits. For other personal occasion writing, the birthday message writer uses a similar approach. Need to develop characters for a fictional wedding scene?

Select your [ROLE] and enter [COUPLE_NAMES]. Your role determines the speech's expected tone: best man speeches lean funnier, parent speeches lean more emotional, friend speeches can go either way. The couple's names let the AI address them directly.
In [RELATIONSHIP_HISTORY], describe how you know the bride, groom, or both. In [STORIES], share 2-3 specific moments you could reference. "The time Jake drove four hours at midnight to help me move" says more about friendship than "Jake is a great friend."
In [ADMIRATION], share what you genuinely respect about them individually and as a couple. "How she calmed him down before the job interview" or "how they always make guests feel welcome" gives the AI emotional anchors for the speech's heartfelt section.
Select the wedding [VIBE], your [HUMOR] comfort level, and target [LENGTH]. A formal wedding with a 1-2 minute speech gets a polished, concise speech. A casual wedding with a 3-5 minute slot and mixed humor gets more room for stories and laughs.
Read the speech aloud at least three times. Follow the delivery notes for pauses and eye contact. Time yourself. A 3-minute speech is about 450 words. Cut anything that feels forced. The best wedding speeches feel unrehearsed even when they are not.
Get a speech that balances roasting the groom with genuine affection. The AI knows which stories land well (shared adventures, personal growth moments) and which to avoid (exes, embarrassing secrets the couple has not cleared).
Write a speech that celebrates the bride and welcomes the partner. The AI creates a narrative arc from your friendship through the relationship, ending on what makes this couple work.
Express pride and love without making it about yourself. Parent speeches carry unique emotional weight. The AI helps you share memories that show who your child is while warmly welcoming their partner into the family.
Select "keeping it purely sincere" for [HUMOR] and "1-2 minutes" for [LENGTH]. The AI creates a short, heartfelt speech with clear delivery notes so you know exactly where to breathe, pause, and look up from your notes.
