James Whitfield

James Whitfield is a contributing editor at Evermore. His work focuses on speeches and vows from the groom's side of the wedding party: best man and groomsman toasts, father-of-the-bride and father-of-the-groom speeches, brother-of-the-couple moments, and the groom's own vows. He writes for the speakers who tend to overthink the opening joke and underthink the ending, and aims to make both easier.

James's pieces focus on the moments most groom-side speakers worry about — the opening joke that lands, the toast that doesn't drag, the vow that sounds like the person actually saying it. If a blank page is the problem, the Evermore speech generator can give you a starting draft to revise from.
