Hey there, all you lovebirds and party animals! I’ve got a wild idea, wedding speech before the meal! Yeah, I know, it’s shaking up the wedding world and stirring things around, but trust me, it’s a game-changer!
Last month I posted on instagram and had a huge response from other couples and also photographers. It was a post on why you should do your wedding speech before your meal. The messages and comments back were wild. I never really knew how stressful people found the speeches. So I have dropped a few points on here and you can make up your own mind.
Picture-Perfect Tables:
Okay, here’s the deal. As your go-to wedding paparazzi (I mean photographer), I live for those picture-perfect table settings. You know, the ones with all the glitz and glam that make jaws drop and eyes pop! Now, when the speeches kick-off before the feast, those tables are fresh, clean, and looking oh-so-fabulous! We get to snap them in all their glory, and you’ll cherish these shots for years to come, trust me!
Calm those Nerves, Rock those Words!
To all you brave souls getting ready to spill your hearts out, doing wedding speeches, getting them done first is like a secret weapon against stage fright. Your nerves get to take a chill pill right after you’ve done your thing! Plus, think about it – no more worrying about whether the chicken’s getting cold while you’re sweating bullets on stage. It’s a win-win!
Speaker’s Perks – Eat, Drink, and Be Merry!
Now, let’s talk about those brave souls who shared their stories and jokes on the mic. By flipping the script, they get to eat, drink, and be merry right after their shining moment. And guess what? That means you’ll have happier and funnier speeches because, hey, food and drinks make everything better, right?
Papparazzi – Energized & Fueled!
By the way, who’s that behind the camera capturing all those epic moments? Yours truly! And when speeches come first, it gives me a chance to chow down after the guests. Tummy full, I’ll be an unstoppable force, ready to snap every dance move, every hug, and every wild party animal on the dance floor!
So wedding speeches before the meal is the hottest trend in town! You’ll get the most amazing table shots, your speakers will be relaxed enough to eat and your photographer ( I hope that’s me!) will be fueled up and ready to capture all the shenanigans that come after. So go ahead, flip the script, and let the good times roll!
