Maid of Honor Speech 1

I had the most God awful experience you can imagine at my Nieces wedding. Imagine if you can the best friend standing just behind me giving the maid of honor speech. She is a little tipsy and waving a mixed drink over my head.

Are you getting the picture or do I need to spell it out more?

Every now and then a droplet hits my head that I can feel and I am imaging just how much is falling on the rest of me. I know I smell like a brewery but it can't be helped.

I know you are thinking right now that this experience has to do with alcohol being spilled all over me. I hate to burst your bubble but that is not the worst of this experience.

To get back to the story, the maid of honor speech is going on just behind me and I am taking a mini shower in bloody maries. The speaker introduces themselves as the best friend and starts with the story of how they first met.

It just so happens that that meeting was in a place neither should have been and a situation that the husband didn't know about. You see this best friend was met at a party where parents did not want their fifteen year old daughters to go and in a compromising situation.

Here we go again, I know where you mind is but the situation wasn't quite there yet. The problem was that the boy didn't know that and the best friend help her get out of what could have been a reputation recking situation.

Being a little drunk she was making a mess of the whole thing and things were starting to look a little bad for her. That is when Captain Courageous came to the rescue.

That is me of course, Captain Courageous I mean.

I really didn't have to make believe she spilled her icy drink down my back because she had been doing it for the last few passes of he drink over my head. So as things started to get a little quite and people were starting to look a little worried, I jumped out of my chair with a shout of "damn that is cold".

I had picked the very right opportune moment. He drink was just over my left shoulder and when I stood up it knocked it right into her chest.

Talk about nasty and loud language, I heard some from the maid of honor. She, being a little drunk, did not realize her maid of honor speech was starting to cause a stir. She thought I was doing her a big disservice knocking that glass of crushed ices and drink down the front of her beautiful bides maids dress.

In fact after it was over and things were all sorted out only one other person truly realized what I had done. She of course told me how much she appreciated my intervention but when a hundred other guest think you are a bumbling idiot, having one know you aren't isn't that great.

I got over it though and have two recommendation to those beautiful ladies that give their wonderful maid of honor speeches:

1. Don't over do it on the bloody maries before the maid of honor speech.
2. Be prepared before hand so that if you are a little tipsy you still have your speech down so that you can say it even slightly drunk.

A final warning: the better the maid of honor speech the better the bride looks. Do everything in your power to make the bride look good. Get professional help, not a psychologist, a maid of honor speech and toast professional, to assure you speech rocks.
