Witnessed the worst MH speech
ksayles

It was awful.
This girl is a total AW and made the speech about herself and her marriage...and their problems.
She also included some sex jokes, b/c you know the bride's 80-something year old grandmother enjoyed that one. The room was silent with the exception of the bride laughing. It was so uncomfortable.
At least the bride thought it was funny.

Re: Witnessed the worst MH speech
I hate when people do this as well. I get so embarassed for them I want to die. I think I'm more uncomfortable than they are. I'm a dork though...I get embarassed for Phoebe and Joey on Friends.
True, at least she wasn't upset.... but yikes!
I will say that it was not entirely her content, but her delivery was awful as well.
The beginning of the speech she made a comment that her husband was not there so she could say whatever she wanted. She basically took fights that they have and put them in her speech.
"Don't wear sock while you are getting busy. It is not sexy."
yes, she said getting busy.
"Forget about Vegas, you are married. You don't bring sand to the beach."
"Your' bank account is now 'Our' bank account."
etc... There were more, but I cannot think of them right now.
I went to to a wedding last summer and the bride got trashed and her speech (when her and her DH got up to thank everyone) pretty much went something like this...
To my sister, yeah!!! I love my sisterrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr. Your the best sister everrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.
And to top it off, the speeches were incredibly long and boring and therefore the guests started talking to eachother at their tables during the speeches (which is incredibly rude), so low and behold the mother of the bride goes up to the microphone and tells everyone to shut up because it was getting too loud.
It was the worst train wreck of a wedding reception I have ever been to.
FYI, this was a wealthy family and a completely black tie event.
Ugh, I hate that! I went to a wedding last summer where the best man gave a speech like that, "you had to be there" stories and inside jokes. It was beyond annoying. No one laughed, and I wanted to say, "No one knows what you're talking about, buddy..."
HAhaa. I get so bored during long speeces. C'mon people, remember the three minute rule. Or is it four minute rule?
I once attended a wedding (DH's cousin) where the best man opened his speech with "I know that no one wants groom to marry bride, but I say go for it. Who cares if you aren't compatible?" He was dead serious too. You could have heard a pin drop.

omg. that is awful.
Dh's BIL was the best man at our wedding and totally gave the worst speech. It was ALL about how he and SIL were going to be married for 10 yrs that year and how happy they are.. and went on and on for no joke probably 10 min. He paused in the middle and my sister (my moh) got up to take the mic thinking he was done so she could toast... but nope... he was all "oh not finished" I couldn't believe it. We actually have to fast forward his speech when watching our video because its sooo long. I just don't get it.
