Wedding day is not only a holiday, it is a day of excitement and worry, laughter and happy tears for the newlyweds and their parents. The bride's father and mother try to tell her the most important words and express their feelings in poetry and prose.
From excitement, sometimes thoughts get confused, and in order not to get confused at the most crucial moment, when parting words need to be said in the presence of guests, the text of congratulations for the daughter’s wedding is prepared in advance. Friends and relatives rush to congratulate the newlyweds, but the words spoken by the parents will leave a mark on the souls of the newlyweds for the rest of their lives.
Words of blessing
In the old days, the bride's parents gave their blessing for the marriage during matchmaking, shortly before the wedding. Modern parents bless their children for a happy family life before the official wedding ceremony. As a rule, this ceremony is carried out in the parental home after the groom has passed all the tests, when he pays a ransom for her. The father of the bride can speak first. His speech should not be verbose. In his laconic address to his daughter, a loving father is likely to express sincere approval and support.
Daughter, you are the most precious thing I have! I love you so much! And this day is one of the most important in your life for you! I'm glad I can share your joy. I bless your union! Advice and love to you!
Mom and I give our consent and blessing to your marriage. From now on, all care for our beloved daughter falls on the shoulders of her future husband. We bless you for a long and happy married life!
I bless you for a long and wonderful family life. I would like to wish that your family has prosperity and prosperity, and that the fire of love always burns in your hearts. Be happy in the marriage that you sealed today with the exchange of rings. Take care and appreciate each other! And you will always have parental support and blessings!
I wish you to love each other and be generous with kindness! Be one and accept all God's gifts with an open heart and gratitude!
Beloved daughter! We raised you with love and care. And then the moment came when you flew out of the nest to create your own family. On this special day, we want to bless you for a long life of love. We wish you boundless happiness, good prosperity, and prosperity in your home! Live for your happiness and for ours! Let children's laughter ring in your home and there will never be room for tears! Love and take care of each other!
This is my blessing to the bride and groom for their marriage. Live in harmony, kindness and peace. Remember, the Lord is crowning you, and Saint Nicholas the Wonderworker is begging him. I give you my blessing!
Our dear children! We bless you for creating your family. May she be prosperous and happy! Take care of the tenderness that you have. Live for each other in the name of goodness and your love! Be happy together!
Father's responsibilities at a wedding
The father, like the mother, plays a significant role in the daughter’s life. As for the wedding, he can take on a significant part of the organizational and financial issues.
The father has the responsibility of moral support for his daughter and blessing the groom.
In many families, it is customary to support the newlyweds in preparation for this festive event. First of all, this is financial assistance, and if the young people cannot cope, finding a place, a leader and other organizational issues.
On the wedding day, dad must conduct a blessing ceremony, and can also help in maintaining the schedule of all key events and seating the guests in the reception hall.
But the main task awaits from the moment the celebration begins - giving a speech to the father at his daughter’s wedding. Since dad makes the very first toast, his words and sincerity influence the further mood of everyone present.
Also, due attention should be paid to the preparation of the father-daughter dance.
Congratulations in prose
The father of the bride has the honorable right to be the first to make a congratulatory speech at the table. It is his words that largely set the overall mood of the wedding. Congratulations from the father of the bride may be terse, but full of joy and warm wishes. He can tell what he sees as the fate for his daughter, and also express the hope that her husband will appreciate and protect her. At the end of the congratulatory speech, some good worldly wisdom or a quote would be appropriate.
Daughter, today, as the head of the family, I am handing you over to the hands of your husband, who will now become your support. Today is your family’s birthday, and I want to wish you many years to live in love and harmony. Listen to each other, support each other, do not take minor grievances and troubles to heart. The most important thing is your love and friendly family. Dear children, I raise this glass to your family – young, purposeful and beautiful!
In my speech, I would like to first of all address the groom. Of course, it is sometimes quite difficult for us men to understand women, but we always need to love, protect and support them, and then your family will be strong, like ours.
Our dear children! For every parent, such an event as the consolidation of your relationship with the sacred bonds of marriage is a great joy. We want to wish you kindness, mutual understanding, may love and prosperity never leave your home, and may all your endeavors end in success. Let only kind and reliable people surround you in life! Bitterly!
Dear children! “Many search, but only a few find” - this proverb also applies to happiness. And today you have found yours. Try to save it. Let the smile never leave your faces, and let your eyes shine with the fire of love and tenderness. Support your family hearth, take care of each other. May there be prosperity and prosperity in your home. Walk through life hand in hand, support each other, do not be afraid of adversity - they are short-lived. After the rain there is always a rainbow and sunshine. The shoulder of your loved one will help you overcome all difficulties, and if you need our help, we are always there. I congratulate you with all my heart!
My lovely daughter! My joy, pride and happiness! It seems like just yesterday our mother handed me a large lace package with the most beautiful girl in the world in the maternity hospital. Yesterday I carried you on my shoulders to kindergarten, accompanied you to school, and met you in the evenings after class. I was waiting at the bus stop after the movie and dancing. I admired you when at your school graduation you received a certificate with honors, and after college you received a diploma with honors. I was proud when you won medals at competitions. Today I can't stop looking at my little girl. You got married and started your own family. Be happy my princess. And don’t forget to please your mother and me with grandchildren!
Newlyweds, almost everyone has probably already told you how important today is. We would like to wish you to be not just a couple, but a family with a capital letter. So that in absolutely any life situation you do not forget about this for a minute. Share your problems with each other, learn to keep goodness in your heart. Rejoice, have fun, solve problems, most importantly - together! We are immensely happy for you and want you to live a long and happy life, side by side with each other. Let's drink to this!
Dear (names of spouses)! On this solemn and exciting day, I wish you an ocean of love, a sea of happiness and wide rivers of goodness! If it happens that the ocean of love disappears, the sea of happiness becomes shallow, and the river of goodness turns into a small stream, may you be left with a clean and deep lake of hope. Let hope, faith, love and wisdom be your companions. Let them help you not turn your life into a swamp of routine. May your every day be filled with joy, fun and love! Happy family sailing and may your ship never go astray! Bitterly!
Parental home - the beginning of life
The little girl who slept on her daddy's lap with a teddy bear in her arms has grown up.
Today she stands at the altar in a wedding dress, shimmering under the restrained rays of the sun. In the life of every father there comes a moment that he, without showing it, is afraid of: from now on, his own blood will go to someone else’s house, being a bride, then being a wife, and then becoming the mother of her own family. Despite this, the father, of course, is happy with all his heart for his girl, because she is truly happy with a man behind whom she will be like behind a stone wall. He will give a blessing before the wedding day, even being confident that only the father can take the best care of his baby.
Beloved and loving dad, for the entire six months that remains until the wedding day, prepares a speech and congratulations, rehearsing, nervously, coming up with new metaphors, comparisons, epithets that are perfectly suitable for his daughter. The moment of parting has arrived.
The father's blessing and congratulations truly mean a lot to the bride. When choosing her future husband, giving him preference over other boys, boys, men, and young men, the young lady was guided by the image of her own father, who had been an example all her life. It might be important for her that her father agrees with the chosen one, the one to whom the “little father” is going to give his heart.
Obviously, in the afternoon, when the groom asked for the hand and heart of his beloved, a joint dinner was celebrated: the parents of both parties and children were present during the solemn hour. The father of the bride should not show his fears about his son-in-law “without five minutes”, because two pairs of eyes are looking at him with trepidation. Receiving a blessing is also essential for a young man applying for the role of a girl’s husband.
Registration at the Civil Registry Office
This wonderful evening suggests that both parties “will be satisfied.” To get rid of the unnecessary tension that will one way or another reign before the wedding, it is necessary for the moment of blessing and congratulations to pass without a hitch.
Who holds what icons during the blessing?
Let's make it clear right away that there are no rules on this matter. There are only traditions. They may differ in different localities and among different peoples of our country. In addition, parents are not always present at the wedding in full force - this also makes its own adjustments.
Here are the most common options:
- If there is only one icon (folding), then the groom’s father holds it. In the hands of the mother of the bride is a loaf of salt on a towel. The groom's mother and the bride's father are simply standing next to each other.
- If there are two icons, mothers hold them. Then the groom's father holds the loaf, and the bride's father holds champagne and glasses.
- Moms are holding a loaf of bread and a folding bag, and dads are holding glasses of champagne. Or they just stand next to each other.
Parting words
The main thing in the speech is the sincerity of what is desired for the future family. The main attention should be paid to what accompanies family happiness and home comfort.
Example of parting words:
“Dear newlyweds! Advice and love to you! You have made an important and wonderful decision in your life - to build a family. We wish you love, patience, great happiness. May you be able to create home comfort and share the brightest emotions and feelings. And may there always be a place for care, understanding and children’s laughter in your home.”
Parting words from father to son for a wedding celebration, words to the groom
Only the father can give a truly parting, clear speech, which will simultaneously serve as advice and congratulations for the groom. Father's words always serve as something special for the groom, because they are spoken by a respected and experienced person.
parting and congratulatory words from father to son at the wedding I want to leave congratulations, Son, remember all the moments! Your bride is a gift, Keep the warmth of love for her in your heart! I, children, bless you, I wish you peace and children, So that your home becomes cozy, And happiness settles in it!

Wedding speech from father of the bride
The wedding ceremony is an exciting day for more than one bride. The parents also accept congratulations on the wedding of their dear daughter. They are greatly worried when they release their chick from the nest into adulthood, full of shocks, stormy seas and where no one can lay straw over the hole where the girl and her husband can fall.
It's no secret that the lady's cool, calm-looking father is no less nervous than his electrifying, exciting dove. Representatives of the fair sex will certainly shed tears, being touched. The wedding day, marked in the calendar with a scarlet, blue-crimson, even somewhat bloody, color, is associated with a moment: his little girl emerges from under her father’s wing, intending to create a new unit of society.
Quotes from the greats about family and love
