I liked your article about bad wedding toasts. It is very interesting but I never had such an experience. Have you checked this other site on maid of honour speech which would be helpful for bride's best friend to deliver a good speech.

At one, the sister of the bride was giving a speech on how she and her sister are really close. At one point she actually said “Remember that one time on vacation where we touched tongues?”

. . .

OMG.

And this isn’t a speech, but at another wedding during the garter gathering business, the groom went up the bride’s dress with his arm and pulled out A DIP STICK and then proceeded to CHECK THE OIL LEVEL.

That’s when I died.

My friends Cameron and Malcolm do look a bit alike and they used to spend a lot of time together.

But it wasn’t very funny at Cameron’s wedding, when the father of the bride welcomed Malcolm (the best man) to the family.

Not just once, but several times.

We blamed the whiskey.

a 15 minute speech in the form of a dissertatation? Sounds very risky as the attention span of wedding guests can be short but glad to hear it went very well.

My mum’s first mother-in-law got up at her wedding, indicated my mother’s five months pregnant stomach, and said, ‘Some women only know one way to trap a man.’

I don’t think I’ve ever had a real bad one. There was an awkward moment at one, where the groom was asked to put his hand on top of the bride’s, and then he said “this is the only time you’ll have the upper hand in the relationship with this one!” And we all politely laughed, but the bride’s family didn’t think it was so funny.

There was one wedding where the entire bridal party got TRASHED and then they ALL gave speeches before dinner could be served. We didn’t eat until like 11 PM.

I was the maid of honor at a wedding. I spent an hour the night before crafting a funny speech/toast about funny things I had done with the bride and groom. (Seriously. It was funny. And clocked in at a very reasonable two and a half minutes.) Right before I got the mic, however, the best man got up and gave a toast about how the bride had saved him from suicide and depression. It rambled along for the better part of ten minutes. At the end of it all, I just got up and said, “here’s to the bride and groom.” No one wanted to hear my funny stories after that buzz killer.

I went to one where the best man talked about the groom’s “past” life and how one of the double dates the groom’s date critized his sweater and how the best man stood up to her and then used profanity to express how you don’t diss his best friend.

It went on for about 15 painful minutes.

oh man o man.. i went to a wedding in south carolina once, and at the (ENORMOUS, 250 PERSON) rehearsal dinner they invited anyone to get up to the mike and say something about the bride/groom. well, one of the groomsmen got up, drunk, and told a looonnnng rambling story about how HE had always had the hots for the bride in college, and the groom totally dicked him over and got to her first, but i mean, i guess it worked out in the end, right, because they’re happy now, and ps honey (this addressed to his girlfriend, WHO WAS THERE) i love you too, babe, it’s just that oh man i was SOOOO into the bride in college, you know??

AWK.
