You may need to consider the groom and bride speeches together, when it comes to the speeches for your wedding day.
This does not mean, writing the speeches together, as this would spoil the surprise. But what is a good idea is to chat and discuss the broad guidelines and direction each of you may want to take with the speeches.
Decide on Who All Making Speech
Like any other speech, it is very important to get your moments and stories correct and making sure that one speech is not repeating what the other has already covered. This is one big reason why it makes sense that the groom and bride sit together and discuss the wedding speech ideas.
At times, all grooms and bride do make separate speeches. Only one of you can do a speech or both of you can do a joint speech. Before going ahead, it is very important that you discuss these points before moving to the next steps.
Preparing the Perfect Speech
Once you have decided about who all are making the speech, then it is a good idea to talk to your bride and discuss on the steps on preparing the speech. The intent is to avoid covering the same idea twice, unless both the groom and bride intend to bring a different perspective on the same topic. This can provide a funny and humorous moments which your guests will love.
You can even do a combined speech where one share the incident and other person can bring in his/her perspective.
I would not recommend sharing all speech with the better half, but sharing some of the idea's will allows both the speeches to feed on each other and make a memorable and lasting impact on the audience.

How to please everybody in your Groom Wedding Speech
The wedding day is the most important not just for you and your bride but all the other people in your lives. Your parents, in-laws, brother, sisters, aunts, uncles, friends and other relatives all part of your life and you must ensure to thank them. The whole idea is to please everyone to make sure your wedding day goes perfectly!
Thank Everyone who helped you make up ready for the Big Day
Before you start the groom speech, please make sure to thank everyone who helped you to get ready for the wedding day. Whether it is my best friend who helped overcome the last minute jitters, your beautiful bride, your parents, your best man. All in all, everyone who gave you any advice - make sure to thank them. One of the other important person to thank is the father-in-law. You can never thank them enough for raising such a lady of love and respect, so you better have nice words reserved for your father-in-law. Always thank them before continuing with the rest of the speech.
Talking about Your Family
All your friends and relatives would have made a great effort to grace your wedding day. And boy they love to know all those details - specially how you met your beautiful bride and how you proposed to her. You can not go wrong with that and this is always a big hit with everyone.
Next, I added some praise about my family - my parents and siblings. This is an important milestone in your life and what better occasion and chance to show the special people in your life, that how much they mean to you. Remember, you are today standing at the altar as a result of them one way or the other.
Your wedding day is just not about you and your bride. Its about coming together of two families and friends.
Even though I was nervous on my groom wedding speech, it was not too hard to please and thank everyone as long you are careful and prepare a little bit.

Plan your Groom Wedding Speech
The day I proposed to my girl friend and we decided to get married, I had started visualizing the whole marriage and that included the groom wedding speech. Having attended multiple marriages and seen plenty of movies, I knew the importance of the speech and I wanted to prepare in earnest. But the fact is, i kept postponing the speech just before the week of the wedding.
Not planning for enough time and preparing in advance was the biggest mistake I made. My recommendation to you all, do not make the same mistake.
Once, I started working on the groom speech, the words just started to leave me and it all seemed to be a very hard task. I wanted to make a lasting impression, standing in front of every one ( a la Steve Jobs) and here I was even struggling for words.
As days passed by and the wedding date kept getting closer, I am trying to think of memorable quotes, witty comments for my groom wedding speech and it was just not working at all. At some point, i just decided, to write down the random idea's that were coming to my mind.
Later, I did realized that this was not one of the most effective ways to plan your groom wedding speech but this at-least me got me started and allowed me to move ahead.
I started jotting down the idea's, using the speech prompts and guides, I gathered information about myself and my bride. I jotted down moments like - how we met, where we met, our first coffee, my first gift, how we grew close together, how I proposed and other such memorable moments. Next task, was to take these moments and try to put a story around so as to capture the essence of the relationship.
I guess, at this point, the key was to collect all those memorable and funny moments. The order or the actual content does not matter. The key to a perfect wedding speech is start noting down all the moments. Once you have crossed that hurdle, penning together the speech is the far more easier from there.
