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!
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!
Father's congratulations at his daughter's wedding
A wedding is one of the most exciting and touching events in the life of any person. Traditional wedding celebrations with the groom's matchmaking, festive feast, fiery speeches by the toastmaster and toasts to the health of the newlyweds, funny wedding competitions rush by like a whirlwind and overnight turn bachelors and unmarried people into a unit of society.
Holiday greetings come in different standard forms with a set of wishes, accompanied by music and poetry. Guests, represented by relatives and friends, try to put a special meaning into the essence of their matches and toasts so that the young people will remember it, but they will hear the most desired words from their parents. The parting words of the bride's father stand apart from all the wishes, perhaps because the love of fathers for girls is distinguished by special affection and tenderness. We bring to your attention several options for congratulating a father at his daughter’s wedding in his own words.
- Daughter! Just recently, I picked you up from the maternity hospital, rejoiced at your first words, steps, and was upset with you for the bad marks you received at school. When you started to grow up, I admired you and was proud that I had such a beautiful and smart daughter. And then Seryozha (groom) appeared in your life and I experienced some feeling of jealousy because I was no longer the most important man in your life. At night, waiting for you from your dates, my mother and I would lie awake and think that you had grown up and would soon say: get ready for the wedding! And so, this day has come, you brought Seryozha to us and my mother and I, worried, studied him, looked closely at him, asking: will he love you as much as we do? Today, giving you in marriage, we believe that your husband will now become your most faithful friend, protection and support, as we have been all the past years. And you will be a good wife to him! Know that we are parents, we will always help you in everything and we will be waiting for grandchildren! Bitterly.
- Seryozha, today I give you the most valuable thing I have, my daughter, whom I have cared for and cherished since her birth! I ask you to continue my work and continue to take care of her! Daughter, today a new chapter begins in your life, when you truly become an adult, from this day on you will have more responsibilities, now you will have to be a support to your husband in all his endeavors, help him in his affairs, support him! We raised you to be a good housewife, and we will not be ashamed of you, we want to hear the words of your husband that his wife is the best! Live together, love each other, respect each other!
- Daughter! Today is one of the most significant days in your life, when you started a family, you decided to connect your life with your loved one! I am very happy for you, because your husband is the dearest and closest person in your life! A wedding is just the beginning, a long family life awaits you, there will be storms and calms, joyful moments and sorrows, you need to go through them together, holding hands, and then both of you will not care about any obstacles! Take the example of your mother, who has supported, helped and guided me all my life, and become the same faithful friend for your husband! Love him, respect him, and he will answer you in kind! Advice and love to you!
- Daughter, I always thought that the day would come when a good fellow would knock on our door and ask for your hand. Like any loving father, I was excitedly waiting for this moment, and now it has happened! Not without fear and excitement, we worried about whether my mother and I would like him, and then we realized that you cannot choose a bad person, and when we saw Seryozha, we were convinced of this. We wish that his parents would accept you into their family, as we do Sergei, that they would treat you as their daughter. And you love and respect your husband’s parents! Mom and I fulfilled our mission: we raised you to be smart and hardworking, and now we will wait for our grandchildren so that we can pour out all our unspent love on them. Take on any task without fear, work, equip your family nest, do everything together and amicably! Love each other and live long, long lives!
- Daughter! On the one hand, I am glad that you found your loved one and decided to throw in your lot with him, but on the other hand, I am sad that my baby has already become an adult and is moving into adulthood, leaving my mother and I alone! But this is a cheerful sadness, of course, I am infinitely pleased and happy that you are getting married, because this is the cherished dream of any girl and it has come true! You waited for your prince and he takes you with him! Prince, (addressing the groom) treat our daughter like a princess, carry her in your arms and you, princess, remember that you are married to a prince, please him, look after him! Living life is not a field to cross, you need to eat a ton of salt together to pass all the tests, so do not be afraid of difficulties, go through them with dignity and support each other in happiness and sorrow!
- Daughter! Well, your Gray has come for you on a ship with scarlet sails and you are sailing away with him! The sea on which you will sail is called family life; there will be storms, hurricanes, calms and unrest. You will be washed up against rocks and quiet harbors, I am telling you this because I am an experienced sailor, I have been sailing in this sea myself for many years. Your husband is the captain, and you are the navigator, the way you give advice and plot the route will determine how your ship will sail! The main thing is not to run aground! Well, even if it turns out this way, then your mother and I will pull you out, take you in tow! The main thing is, in the storm and in the calm, hold hands, love each other, and then you will be able to overcome all obstacles!
- Daughter, now you know on which hand the wedding ring is worn, but it really is, as the song says, not just a decoration, but a symbol of love and fidelity! Now you are not a lonely and free girl, but a married woman, someone has appeared in your life who will not just be a husband, but your best friend! Love him, respect his parents, if you decide to scold him, then immediately feel sorry for him! Know how to forgive, but don’t give in, I believe that you can stand up for yourself! But don’t swear in vain, man, he’s the head of the family, you should always remember this! Advice and love to you! Bitterly!
- Daughter, we give you in marriage with a calm soul and heart! You grew up to be a good girl, beautiful and smart, and you found a husband to match you! We believe that you will live a long and happy life, give birth to children, to our delight! There are no special secrets in family life, the main thing is to understand and respect each other! If you quarreled, don’t delay reconciliation! Feed him tasty, dress him cleanly, don’t scold him unnecessarily! And you are the groom, love my daughter and make her life a paradise!
