An anniversary speech worthy of all those years.
Tell us how they met, what they are like together and the small things that have kept them going. We shape it into a toast that honours the marriage without turning into a list, with the right words for the family in the room.
What an anniversary toast needs
- How it started, told in a few lines, not a timeline of every decade.
- One story that shows what they are like together today.
- Room for the hard years, if the family wants it said, handled lightly.
- A word for children, grandchildren and old friends in the room.
- A toast to the two of them, and to the next chapter.
Fifty years ago, Mum and Dad got married on a Tuesday, because the church was cheaper on a Tuesday. They had forty guests, one cake and a borrowed car with a flat battery. Dad still says it was the best value he ever got.
Here is what I have learned from watching them. Every morning, for as long as I can remember, whoever wakes up first makes the other one tea. Not a grand gesture. Just a cup of tea, the way the other one likes it, eighteen thousand times and counting.

The plan for the speech, its opening lines, and three questions that dig out the detail that makes it land.
Get your speech in a minute
Pay once and watch it being written. Revise it as often as you need, then print cue cards or rehearse with read-aloud.
The whole family saying a few words?
One order for 3 people speaking at the same party or dinner, for example a partner, one of the children and an old friend. You fill in your speech now; each speaker adds their own details later through their own link, and the speeches are coordinated so each one tells different stories.
$69 for 3 coordinated speeches, instead of $29 each. Every speech has its own 10 revisions. On the form, choose the occasion and then “Anniversary speech pack: 3 speeches for $69”.
Questions
How long should an anniversary speech be?
Two to four minutes is plenty. If several family members speak, keep each one short and let one person give the main toast.
What if I do not know how they met?
Ask them, or ask a friend to send a memory through the share link on the order form. The speech is only as specific as what you tell us, and it never makes up details.
Can I speak to my own partner at our anniversary?
Yes. Choose "Partner or spouse" and the speech is written to them, with a toast the guests can join.
Can grandchildren join in?
Yes. A group pack gives up to three people coordinated speeches for the same party, so no story is told twice.
