Hello
As a British writer, Matthew has pointed out your project to me as he feels I could be an excellent fit for your requirements.
Wedding speeches are extremely important and there are certain elements which should be avoided, while other elements must be included. Yes, you are right, humour is critical, while there also needs to be an element of solemnity and seriousness in relation to the importance of the day's event.
This project will require a good deal of two-way communication and there is a great deal I will need to find out about you, your family, your daughter, son-in-law, etc (that would be relevant tot he speech - not ultra-personal details).
I believe that 4-6 minutes would be ample for a speech, which equates to 750 - 1,000 words. My bid may seem high for that number of words, however most of the time will be spent on gathering and disseminating information, and based on previous experience, up to four speech revisions may be required to capture a tone that makes the speech sound as though it had been written by you - I don't want the speech to sound like it was written for you.
I have allowed 30 days for completion of the task.
On a final point, my 18 projects completed relate purely to tasks that relate specifically to the skills you listed, however you will see my full profile shows over 600 English language-related projects with a near-perfect completion rate and 100% on-time delivery.
Please ask if you would like to know anything else.
