Below is a short excerpt: It goes without saying that the mother of the groom has one of the most difficult jobs in the entire wedding party. Aside from the officiant, and perhaps the best man, the mother of the groom's duties are by far the most numerous and diverse. From holding rings and coordinating with catering personnel, to handling last-minute "fires," and mingling with guests, the title of Mother of the Groom carries with it a long list of responsibilities. Chief among them is your Mother of the Groom Speech. For anyone who's attended weddings before, you've probably seen the good, the bad, and the ugly. Some speakers give great speeches that energize the crowd and leave a memory that will last a lifetime. While others fumble through notes and put the audience to sleep. Worst of all is when a speaker fails so epically, that they leave people feeling awkward or uncomfortable. Intentional or not, this can have a long-lasting effect that can ruin the day. Whether it's malfunctioning microphones, lost note cards, or lack of preparation, there are a million things that can go wrong during a Mother of the Groom Speech. The purpose of this book is to help you navigate through the common pitfalls most Mothers of the Groom make and prepare you to give a KILLER Mother of the Groom Speech. In this book, I'll teach you how to prepare, brainstorm, outline, rehearse, and execute your speech. We'll discuss all of the duties of a Mother of the Groom so you're completely prepared for the day of the wedding. This will include coordinating with the bride and groom, dress and appearance, interacting with friends and family, recording the speech, alcohol consumption and so much more. Additionally, you'll learn the most common issues that happen during the Mother of the Groom Speech and how to overcome them. Moreover, I provide an example speech at the end of the book, that can be tweaked for your particular needs. Ultimately, this book will provide a Mother of the Groom with the tools, tips, tricks--and most importantly the confidence--they'll need to give a killer speech. By the end of the event, you'll walk out feeling like a hero and knowing you gave it 110%. I'm sure you're going to love this book. But don't take my word for it. Scroll up and BUY YOUR COPY TODAY!
