50th Wedding Anniversary Speech – After 50 Years Together
Giving a speech after 50 years of marriage would seem very easy, but expressing your emotions after 50 years is not always easier, sometimes it becomes more difficult because the emotion becomes stronger, deeper and more complicated. If you are the husband or wife or a dear friend who would like to give a speech, it can be difficult to find the right words to express a love that has endured 50 years of marriage.
Whether you are the husband or the wife, you should thank all the guests for coming to celebrate 50 years of marriage with you. Then you should express your gratitude to your spouse for being there with you for all these years. Share a story or a few sentiments with your spouse and your friends and family about a particularly inspiring moment, a loving moment, a difficult moment, or a light moment in 50 years of marriage that you feel is appropriate. You can also present your spouse with a gift during your speech, which is a great way to end your golden anniversary speech!
Starting a speech can be very difficult, so the best way to start is with a brief introduction of yourself if you are not the husband or wife. For example, you don’t have to provide all of your background, you can simply say, “Hi, I’m Jane. I’ve been friends with Bill and Nancy for a long time, and I’m so glad to be here today.” This will give the other guests at the party an idea of who you are and why you might want to give a speech!
50 years of marriage, what do you say? If you are married, thank the couple for being an inspiration to you and your spouse. Thank them for sticking together and being two people everyone could count on. You can tell the couple that you hope your marriage can be as strong after 50 years as you know theirs is now. If you have one, share a cute story that you think demonstrates the strength and beauty of the couple’s love. You can also present the couple with a gift, a framed picture or framed writing or poem during your speech. The point of the speech is simply to convey how happy she is for the couple to be together for 50 years, as well as to express how inspiring they are to married people everywhere.
Closing the speech can be the hardest part after starting! The best thing you can do is tell them congratulations and that you hope to celebrate many more anniversaries, and thank them for sharing their day with you. Closing doesn’t have to be anything extravagant, and chances are someone is following you congratulating the married couple on their 50th wedding anniversary.
