Okay guys, I am counting on all your advice for helping me write a speech for my best friend's wedding. It is in less than 3 weeks and I'm starting to panic! I've been looking for help online, but I'm just having a hard time getting started. For those of you who are married, can you tell me what made the speeches at your wedding most memorable? I'm afraid I'm not particularly funny, and especially not when I'm nervous.

 

Thank you!

Hey there! I was MOH in two weddings lasy year (my sister and my BF), and they were back-to-back weekends! YIKES! Anyway, I started each of my toasts with a quick introduction and how I know the bride. Then I went into my first memory (of my BF) and my favorite memory of my sister. I tried to make them both a little funny, without seeming like I was fishing for a laugh. I said a little bit about the grooms, got a little sentimental with both of them, and then wrapped it up with a simple toast. I think both of them went over pretty well...especially since I had a little to drink beforehand!! GOOD LUCK!!

 

PS...I had a few notes written down on a scrap piece of paper in case I got lost...I think that is better than reading the entire thing straight from a piece of paper where it is all written out, word for word...that may just be me though!

I was stressed to give my speech at my sisters. I even went to borders to buy a book on toasts. After finding nothing, I just spoke from the heart, and it worked out beautifully. So my advice would be to just relax and don't over think it. Happy toasting!

I think traditionally the MOH is more sentimental and the BM speech is funny.

 

Making it personal is very important. Like someone else mentioned a story on how you met or how you know each other or if you're family, a memory of dressing up or pretending you're married when your little...

 

Then maybe about how she and her DH met and maybe something she said to you about them when they first started dating.

 

I would stay away from all the poems and quotes and just keep it from the heart.

 

My MOH speech was her telling Matt "I'll tell you at your wedding" what she and I discussed one night when we first started dating. Never did she think at that point we'd actually be married (it was only a month into our relationship). She actually remembered our conversation and told everyone what she said to me that night so many years ago. It was very sweet and made me feel very loved.

      Cabo Azul Wedding Cost / Review

      By Emmma · Posted

      Hi everyone! I have been doing lots of research on various wedding venues all around Mexico, my fiance wants a destination wedding and I am happy to have a wedding wherever so long as the vibe is right and guests are happy!  I have been seriously looking at Cabo Azul and was trying to find potential costs for them, but only found a page about their wedding costs from 2010. Does anyone have any updated information on costs / reviews they would like to share of this venue? Or advice in general, anything helps. Thanks so much, happy wedding planning to all!

      Wedding venues and wedding planner in Costa Rica

      By KristinaH · Posted

      Hello everyone, I am dreaming of a wedding in Costa Rica and was wondering if I could get any help with venues and wedding planners. I am thinking Tamarindo because a close friend of mine lives there and I've been in town more than a couple of times, she's being helpful but is at a loss when it comes to this subject really so I was wondering if anyone here had recommendations. I am not closed to other town suggestions either, if I happen to find a good place and staff somewhere else. These are the places I have so far, has anyone had any experience with any of them?  Stay In Tamarindo Luxury Villas in Costa Rica Luxury Villas Pinilla Tropical Homes of Costa Rica The Point Luxury Villa Thank you so much for your help!
