I want an original surprise!

I want to give my new bride a surprise when I’m giving my speech, but am struggling to think of something original that I could do – help!

Gareth, 31

These days, grooms are being more creative with their speeches, and your bride will love a surprise. Regarding ideas, you may want to collate a selection of your favourite photographs of your bride and have them scrolling through on a projector during your speech. That will not only keep everyone entertained, but they will also get to see how much you really love your new wife. Alternatively, you could buy her a special gift like a pair of earrings or a necklace to match her ring so that she will remember the moment you gave it to her forever.
