MOH speech.

I work in weddings and would say it’s lovely but quite short, the venue will be estimating about 5 mins per speech, obvs some will be longer than others but is there any story’s you can talk about to bulk it up?

I had to make a speech at my sisters wedding as my dad wasn’t able to, these are the notes I followed… • Welcome & Thank You: Start off by welcoming all of the friends and family who came out to celebrate as well as a thank you to everyone who helped make the big day special. • A Walk Down Memory Lane: Include fond memories about your relationship with both your sister and her new husband. Include stories from your childhood and “how they met” jokes. • Bragging Rights: Gush about your sister and make her glow! • A Toast: Cheers to the happy couple. End your speech with some heartfelt wishes for a long and happy marriage

@Rhiannon I could. I don’t know the groom very well. I wanted to add a story of him and I but I don’t have one really

@Madison doesn’t have to be a story with him it could be one from your child hood with the bride that made you know she was special and it can link on at how lucky the groom is or how you knew the bride was in love with the groom (For example if she wouldn’t stop taking about a date or something he did for her which was super romantic) Hope this helps x

Personally, I think calling yourself and the bride to be a matched set and two halves of the same whole... Is a bit much. I feel like at a wedding, those are sentiments people associate more with the couple getting married. Maybe you can find different terms to express your closeness to Cassie. I call my best friend my soul sister, my platonic life partner, that kind of thing.

Do you have a story of when she first told you about Tyler? I would add that in if she has

I like it. The only thing I'd change and is to say delighted to share the 'love' instead of love story just because I kind of expected you to share a story about how they met when you said love story... Very minor detail .. good luck and have fun!

typically the MOH talks about the bride and the best man talks about the groom. for my cousins wedding i texted the best man to make sure he 1. had a speech prepared lol and 2. that he was talking about the groom for the most part and not just their friend group as a whole etc. it’s their wedding so they should be the ones being talked about!

@Madison when I was a moh I told the story of the first time my friend told me about her new husband. That way it felt like it was about them, because I also hadn't spent much time with the groom.

I'd put more in about their relationship in the last paragraph, maybe about how happy she is with him, any stories she has shared, positive thoughts about him and his influence on her

Whack it through chat gpt to refine it. I'd definitely make it longer and add more stories about the bride. The 'two halves of a whole' type language feels off to me as well. This is their day so it could be seen as you slightly resenting the groom for splitting up that 'matched set.' I'm sure that's not what you mean!

The two halves of a whole bit really should be more the bride and her husband. Your story is her best friend but he’s the soulmate in the story, I just think if I heard that at a wedding it would sound off xx

I love it, doesn’t sound conceded. I imagined myself as the bride and would have been tear eyed and heart warmed hearing such kind words about me from someone who loves me. The only thing I would do is make your last paragraph about them longer but don’t change anything!

I read all the comments and I love everyone’s feedback all good points, keep us updated!!

@Kate 🤣 I would love to tell that story but he is a giant red flag

@Madison this is lovely! Well done!
