Emotional Wedding Speech For Brother
1. “I would like to say today what a beautiful couple they make! People talk of fairy tales, but real relationships take a lot of work. I must applaud and congratulate the bride and the groom on investing in each other and putting in the work to be the best possible versions of themselves for each other. This is true love, folks! As Mignon McLaughlin said, ‘A successful marriage requires falling in love many times, always with the same person.’
A toast to my brother, my best friend, and his other (but not better) half. Love you both!”
2. “Good evening, everyone! What a wonderful wedding we all just attended! [Pause for applause] As you know, Brother and I are twins, but we are very different people. My Brother likes rock music – I like classical. My Brother is athletic, and I’m a bookworm. My Brother likes comedy movies – I like sci-fi. And the list goes on. For twins, we just aren’t very much alike. In fact, I’d say we are pretty much like most siblings, except we do have the typical twin connection.
I know when he’s happy and when he’s sad. And the most important connection I have felt with you, Brother, was earlier today. I could feel your exuberance. I felt the love you have for Bride, and it made me so grateful that you’ve found such fulfillment in Bride, your new wife. I hope you’ll forever feel this way, and as for the both of you, I hope you‘ll love each other unconditionally for the rest of your lives.”
3. “Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. My name is Joanne, I’m Joe’s sister, and I’m honored to be with him on his big day today.
Those who don’t know much about me and Joe’s relationship, let me fill you in a bit. I’m the older sister, which means I’ve been around his entire life. And I’ve had the privilege of watching him grow into the best man I know, aside from our own father.
I like to think that I’ve impacted his life somehow, but really, he’s impacted mine the most. I wanted a little brother so much before he came into my life. I wished, and I wished, and I couldn’t have been more thrilled or felt luckier that God decided to give me Joe. Helping me build my sense of humor and giving me a self-esteem boost along the way, he’s shaped me into becoming a better person.
Siblings, partners in crime, and best friends, I am so happy that he’s chosen to spend his life with this woman over here. If I could mold a woman specifically for my brother, it would have been her in every way. You’ve both gotten so lucky.
Let’s all raise our glasses to Joe, his beautiful new wife, and the incredible journey they’re about to embark on.”
4. “I am so happy today to be able to congratulate my brother (Name) and his beautiful wife, (Name). I have always believed that there is someone out there for everyone, and today, (Brother’s name) has found his soulmate in (Bride’s name).
The first time I met (Bride’s name), I was absolutely sure that she was the right person for my brother. We instantly became friends, and our families bonded together smoothly – that was a relief.
On this day, I wish the two of you the greatest happiness for the rest of your lives. It might come with a mix of good and bad times, but they are only there to test your love for one another. So be true to each other and never stop believing in yourselves and one another.
This toast goes to the beautiful bride, my beautiful sister-in-law, and the handsome groom, my sweet, kindhearted, loving brother. Here’s to you both (raise your glass), two beautiful souls who have their heads but who have lost their hearts.
TO THE HAPPY COUPLE!!!”
5. “There are so many reasons to love [groom]. He’s intelligent, kind, and generous, but I think my favorite thing about him is his sense of humor. Dear brother, you have always had the ability to light up a room, and you look so handsome tonight.
Now, onto my beautiful sister-in-law. My first impression after meeting [bride] was that they were one of the only people I’ve ever met who could keep up with [groom’s] wit and good humor. However, it wasn’t until [insert anecdote] that I realized that she was my brother’s soulmate. It’s been such a pleasure getting to know you as an individual and as the perfect partner for my beloved brother. Thank you for loving him the way he deserves.”
6. “I know that you, Bride, have also discovered unconditional love. And, just as importantly, I know that you love my brother the same way he loves you, with your whole heart. Bride, I’m so grateful that my brother found the love of his life. Seeing the two of you together always makes me smile. I can’t help it. You are a perfect match for each other. You give each other permission to be yourselves. You accept each other’s imperfections. Most importantly, you support and encourage each other, no matter what task or project you decide to tackle. I hope that one day I’ll be lucky enough to find love like yours. I wish you all the best and many, many happy and blissful years together.”
7. “Hi everyone. For those of you I haven’t had the chance to meet yet, I’m [name]. [Groom] and I have been best friends since diapers, more or less. It’s [number] years later, and I couldn’t be happier or prouder to celebrate my bro’s big day today. I already told you everything, and I just want to congratulate you both once more and wish you a long and happy life together.”
8. “Brother, where do I start? Alright, how about we go down memory lane when I discovered you crying in your room when Dad would not get you a puppy. I believe that was the first genuine sort of grown-up discussion we had – and from that no-doggy day moping to seeing you here today, as a handsome groom, I can’t feel anything but pride. You have developed into a determined man who doesn’t allow anything to pull you down, and I can’t wait to see all that you and (bride) accomplish alone and together as well.
How about we raise a toast to the long lives and happiness of our dearest couple!”
9. “Thank you all for coming to my brother’s wedding. I love my brother dearly. You know that, right, Brother? But I must admit we’ve always had a kind of competition going on between us. Yeah, Brother, you can’t deny it. Sometimes, it wasn’t very pretty.
But today! I mean, Brother, I have to say, you took all this competitiveness between us to an extreme level by being the first one to get married. And yeah, you won the whole marriage competition, but you are so much more than the winner of our little competition. You are a star winner because you chose [Bride] to be your wife! You truly rose to stardom level in our competition when you somehow convinced this poor woman to marry you.
I hope you’ll always be as happy as you are today. And I hope you’ll keep loving each other the same way you do now. I’m raising this toast to your health, love, and happiness.”

What Should I Say In My Brother’s Wedding Speech?
As the sister of the groom, you may be asked to give a speech at the wedding ceremony. Now, there are a few things you should pay attention to if you want to deliver a great speech.
In the introduction, you should greet all of the wedding guests and thank them for coming. Also, mention people who have participated in the wedding planning and thank them for how stunning the wedding reception looks.
Talk about the bond you have with your brother and thank him for every moment, every memory you created together. Thank him for always having your back, and say that you’ll have his forever.
Also, welcome your new sister-in-law into the family. Compliment her wedding dress and her looks, her inner and outer beauty. Ask her to love and respect your brother, her husband, forever.
You can share a funny memory you have of your brother and you, but steer clear from embarrassing stories, and DON’T by any means mention his exes.
If you’re not great at public speaking, it would probably be a smart idea to practice your speech before the wedding day or at the rehearsal dinner.
There will probably be bridesmaids, the best man, the brother/sister of the bride, and some other family members around, and delivering your speech in front of them may help you deal with your fear of public speaking.
It’ll definitely be easier to speak at the wedding ceremony after you’ve already done it at the rehearsal dinner.
In Fine

Make your bro’s wedding day even more special with an amazing wedding toast. Remember, it’s a privilege and an honor to deliver a speech at your loved one’s wedding.
In the end, I want to congratulate your brother and his bride and wish them a lifetime of happiness. And if you haven’t found your soulmate and tied the knot already, I hope you’ll do so soon and feel that immense happiness too.
