If I can do it anyone can. Being a one-parent family after husband died, it was up to me to give the speech at my daughter's wedding. I was terrified. I'm not one for being the centre of attention so it was very alien to me, but I knew I had to do it. I didn't eat anything at the dinner because I felt so sick, and I felt like the queen giving a very stiff and stilted speech when it came to it. I couldn't relax and I've been very embarrassed about the thought of it ever since.
But my other daughter said it was fine and she wants me to give a speech at her wedding, so I can't have been so bad. I can totally empathise with your DH, but he WILL get through it.
Is it me or am I getting mixed messages
