The Names You Can't Forget

Fumble the bride's name and you'll be remembered for decades – and not fondly. Write out every name phonetically if there's even a whisper of doubt, especially surnames and parents' names. Practice them aloud until they're automatic. A flawless 'Niamh' or 'Saoirse' shows respect and preparation. A mangled one? That's the only thing anyone will recall from your speech.
