Summary/Abstract: In the XVII century, oratory accompanied all important political and private events. An opportunity to present one’s elocutionary artistry was, among others, the wedding. The most important orations are called giving a maiden away and giving acknowledgement for a maiden. Their composition and themes were determined by a convention which had been developed over the course of years. This paper aims to present the composition and the subject area of the two types of wedding speech and the analysis of chosen Andrzej Chryzostom Załuski’s orations, in terms of measures to laudation.
