What should a groom speech include?

A good groom speech covers a few key parts. Start by thanking everyone for coming, and thank the people who made the day happen, such as parents, in-laws, or friends. Then turn to your partner and say something heartfelt. You can mention how you feel, what you admire about them, or a short memory from your time together. Keep it specific but not too private. Then thank both families, including parents, step-parents and anyone who has supported you. If you have children, you might include a warm word for them too. You can also thank the bridal party or anyone who helped with planning. Keep the tone positive and grateful. Avoid making jokes about your partner, their family, or the wedding itself. Do not mention exes or any difficult topics. End with a clear toast. Raise your glass, look at your partner, and say something like, "To us, and to everyone here who made this day possible." Practise it aloud so you know your timing. A short, sincere speech is always better than a long one.
