As promised: “My First Wedding Speech”

What’s it like to give a first wedding speech? That’s what I asked Rebecca Twomey, a journalist and TV presenter, for an episode in my podcast.

She’s not a Maid of Honour. But here’s the thing: she was asked to stand in for the father of the bride.

If you listen to the interview, you’ll understand that the basics of a wedding speech are the same for anybody, so long as you consider your own specific purpose.

You can read a bit about Rebecca, and hear that episode, on this page
