No Filibusters- Leeds Speeches

We are not planning on doing many things traditionally at this wedding. We're holding receptions on two different days, Catherine is not going to claim she will start obeying me and -the topic for today- our speeches will be open to anyone present to comment.

This is how it will run. At the Leeds reception, we're going to have the traditional speeches from the best man, the father of the bride and myself. Catherine will also have a speech and explain this process for people that haven't read the blog. Then the forum is open and anyone present can say anything nice about us. This is an opportunity for our closest friends and family to have their say. We are telling you now to make sure people are not shocked on the day and to give people time to think of something. It could be a line, a memory or a full on story.

We'll be having a friend be a kind of chair and if you want to let her know you are going to speak you can by adding a comment on this site, talking to her on the day, or waving furiously at her when someone else is talking.
