8 Maid Of Honor Speeches
Maid of Honor – Friend
This is a special day for me as (Bride) and (groom) are two of the best friends anyone could ever ask for. I’m proud of (bride) for finding someone who is her perfect match.
First of all, I would like to thank (groom) for his kind words about me earlier this evening, and to take this opportunity to add my own best wishes to (groom) and (bride) for a long and happy marriage.
As you may know (bride) and I have been friends since we started grade (name grade). I think it is safe to say that I know more about her than most people her and I may even know her better than (groom). By the ghastly look on her face, she is praying that we keep it that way over the next three minutes.
I can remember the time that (bride) tried (tell a quick story) smoking a cigarette for the first time. She passed out in the middle of the soccer field from the head rush! I remember the day we sneaked out after curfew and went to a party where curiously (bride) had a little to much too drink and…you guessed it – passed out in the middle of a soccer field. If you want all the gory details, I’ll be selling some unauthorized biographies of (bride) out of my van in the parking lot. Please stop by for a signed copy.
I remember when I learned of (bride’s) engagement. I had this feeling that something was up because (bride) was acting suspicious, keeping her hands in her pocket and then she showed me the rock on her finger. She was as excited as the time that we went to a (name old pop band – eg – New Kids on the Block) concert.
Well, I think I have said all I need to say, I’ll stop here. I know I’m the last speaker, and I can see that everyone wants to hit up the bar and start dancing.
However, I don’t want to forget to mention that our groomsmen look rather dapper. I’m actually quite amazed that you all have new haircuts, close shaves, and matching suits. I could barely recognize you guys! I’m joking of course. You gentlemen do look handsome.
Please raise your glasses once again and wish (bride) and (groom) a fulfilling and prosperous future together.
To the wings of love:
May they never lose a feather,
But soar up to the sky above, And last and last forever.
Bridesmaid – Sister of Bride – Gentle Roast
Well, it’s not every day that an older sister gets to tell her side of the story.
With a little gentle persuasion also known as coercion I was given the opportunity to reach back into the treasure trove of embarrassing stories of the bride of today.
I had the misfortune of being the bride’s elder sister. It doesn’t take much imagination to know what that can mean. Although, I was supposed to keep an eye out for (bride), my experience was that someone should have been keeping an eye out for me!
She was quite the little prankster in her youth. When I was a teenager and my boyfriends would call she would say that I just drove off with some man, even if that man happened to be our father. I spent half of my teenage years trying to calm down boyfriends who were unaware that they were jealous of my father. I also remember when she put hydrogen peroxide in my shampoo. With that bleached blonde look it’s a wonder that I didn’t start a heavy metal band. Our sisterhood was so close that we shared the same makeup, clothes and shoes. I’m sure it was only pure coincidence that we always shared all of my things.
As time went on, I have to admit that my sister and I have not always saw eye to eye, yet we’ve remained as close as sisters can be over the years. Despite moving apart for college, we always seemed to keep in touch. More importantly, we’ve always been able to keep our stories straight for the benefit of mom and dad.
Even though, I was the older sister, I was usually more immature than my sister. I was the goofy one and she was often the wise one.
With people like (bride) in the world, the world is a better place. Her energies at (name charity – eg – United Way) have already done more good than most people achieve in a lifetime. More specifically, my world is a better place with (bride) by my side. She’s the shoulder to cry on and prankster to laugh with.
As I’ve experienced marriage for the last (number of years) I would like to give the happy couple some advice. You have to think of marriage as a university. It can teach you patience, self-sacrifice, understanding… and all sorts of garbage you would not need if you just followed my first piece of advice to stay single!
To the happy couple: May you find that love not only makes the world go ‘round, it makes the trip worthwhile.
Bridesamaid – Sister of Bride
It’s not often that a sister of the bride is given some time to say her piece at the reception. The truth is that I was an artist into it — well, coerced into it really. The reason given in words that ride and I have always been very close. Mind you, I think he was a shaky excuse for getting me on my hind leg, or any other leg, to impose myself on all of you. I suspect that it was done primarily so I wouldn’t feel left out and I do appreciate that.
Anyway, as to our bride, I can tell you that she’s always been the active little extrovert that she is now. Some people who have been at the receiving end of her activities with the views different phraseology from mine. I’m thinking of her younger days. In fact, the farther back we go, the worse it gets.
I had the misfortune to be bride’s elder sister. It doesn’t take much imagination to know what that can mean. Looking back, I think that people would have described bride as the midst of this little tom-boy. I was the posts to look after her, but while she was around I needed somebody to look after me. There was never a dull moment, and that can cover a multitude of sins.
She played tricks on me the little boy is supposed to play on his elder sister. I dreaded her answering the phone to my boyfriend when I was in den. She’d tell him that I’d gone out with another man, if dad had happened to give me a lift someone in the car.
Later on in life you could tell how close we are getting. We need is the same makeup — mine. In a family close by usually handed down. Mine weren’t. They were taken. Do you remember all this, bride?
It’s a funny thing that you can assume that a person has the same image of themselves as a child with someone else in the house had of them. I wonder if bride things in painting a false picture of her. I’ll balance things up by disclosing the credit side.
I was immature and my sisters earlier years, and I fail to see that what I thought was not in this wise, in fact, nearly double mint. It takes all sorts to make the world.
With that be bride’s of the world, the world would be a dollar place — and indeed a poorer place in many respects. Brides energies have already done more good in the world than most people achieve in a lifetime. She may even have taken delight in midst of his trek in her childhood, but by the same token to take delight in bringing pleasant surprises on people.
From dropping me and it was earlier boyfriends, seek cleverly smooth things over with later ones, especially the one I married, and that’s probably news to him.
I spoke of the world being a poorer place without its bride, and my own particular world would have been poorer without the particular bride. We will close in the past, we will remain a close when I married, and will still be close now that she’s married.
Bridesmaid – Sister or Friend – Short and Snappy
My name is (name) and for those of you who don’t know I am (bride’s) friend and chief bridesmaid.
You may think you’ve heard all that needs to be said with the wonderful speeches but you’re wrong. I have plenty to add. Don’t worry though, I am going to rattle the stereotype that women love to hear the sound of their own voices and deliver a short speech.
(Groom), it’s high time we settle a few things from the start! (Bride) will not get off the phone when she is gossiping with her friends. Bride will not let you watch (groom’s favorite sport) and she expects you to watch (name of feminine show – eg – Dancing with the Stars). She has the eternal right to drag you to the mall and wander around aimlessly. You have the eternal obligation to not get annoyed. She also has a free pass to get chilly once a month. Contrary to modern scientific opinion her bad moods are your fault or at least (bride) has a right to pretend that it is.
(Bride) gained the rights at the very moment you said ‘I do.’ Can’t you see that you signed up for years of matrimonial bliss?
In all seriousness, I am thrilled that (groom) came into (bride’s) life. Since she met (groom) she has become annoyingly cheerful each and every day. Bride has always been warm hearted, bright and completely caring. She now has an avenue to express these qualities where they will be appreciated most.
Please raise your glasses while I propose a toast:
May your joys be as deep as oceans, your troubles as light as its foam. And may you find, sweat peace of mind, wherever you may roam.
Matron Of Honor (formal)
Ladies and gentlemen,
As far as I know, it is contrary to tradition for the bridesmaid to speak on her own behalf at a wedding. I’m sure the best man would have done an admirable job but I wanted to share a few tales about the lucky bride that only her longest friend could share. I also wanted the opportunity to add my own best wishes to bride and groom for a long and happy marriage.
First of all, I want to thank the (groom or best man – whoever toasted the bridesmaid) for his complimentary words this evening. The first time that I saw (bride) and (groom) together was (describe the moment) at our friends chalet at Lake Tahoe. It took me about thirty seconds to realize that they were made for each other as (groom) carried her skis, boots, poles and luggage up a steep flight of stairs while (bride) carried her handbag. We watched a movie that evening and (bride) fell asleep on (groom’s) chest as he gently brushed her hair.
As we’ve prepared for the wedding over the past few weeks, (bride) and I have had the chance to reconnect. I almost forgot how much fun (bride) can be. Even with the pressures of putting together this wonderful reception, she took it all in stride and consistently made me and everyone around her laugh hysterically. I also noticed how at ease she was with the lifelong commitment to (groom). She had clearly found her perfect match, as (groom) is one of the only people I know who can equal (bride’s) integrity, charm and bright smile.
Lastly, I would like to commend the handsome ushers on behalf of all the bridesmaids. After (bride) we were surely the second luckiest (number of bridesmaids) gals to be paired up with such a charming group of gentlemen.
Ladies and Gentleman, please charge your glasses and be upstanding as we toast the bride and groom once again.
When the roaring flames of your love have burned down to embers, may you find that you’ve married your best friend.
Bridesmaid – Lighthearted About Bride Being A Clutz
Today, I watched my little scruffy tomboy brat of a sister make a mysterious changeover into this beautiful, radiant woman.
When I think of (bride) I think ‘accident waiting to happen.’ However, today, she miraculously didn’t trip on the tail on her wedding gown, she didn’t fall down the stairs and she hasn’t spilt red wine on anyone…yet.
However, the point remains that all of (bride’s) family and friends in the room today I’m sure thought at times that she would never get married.
I remember the days when (bride) wouldn’t wear anything other than ripped jeans. I have a sneaking suspicion that she’s probably got a pair on under her dress so that she can fly down the banisters later. Some things never change, even though she is a responsible (enter bride’s job title) now!
As we were growing up (bride) was about as uninterested in boys as one could be. To put it mildly, she thought ‘boys were gross.’ To see her today, with her huge smile sitting next to her husband, it is clear that she has had a change of heart.
However, perhaps it was her scruffy past that created a quality in my sister that is so rare – she carries no pretences. She treats everyone equally and never demands any special attention. Even during the preparations for the wedding, she was acting as if it was just another day at the office.
She doesn’t whine or complain when she doesn’t get her way. She simply smiles graciously and continues on with whatever she was doing. If this sounds like a perfect wife, it is because it is!
Before I toast the bride and groom, I must compliment the handsome groomsmen. They did a wonderful job ensuring that (groom) stayed out of trouble and made it to the church a whole four minutes early!
So, as her (your relation to bride – eg – friend or sister), I’d like you to raise your glasses to bride and groom.
As you slide down the banister of life, May the splinters never point the wrong way.
Bridesmaid Speech From Old Friend (Lighthearted)
Hi! I want to thank all of you for letting me take a few minutes to toast my very dear friend, (bride), and her new husband, (groom). Have you ever seen a more stunning bride? How about (groom), is he handsome or what? They look like they belong on the cover of (name popular magazine – eg – Vanity Fair).
My name is (your name) and I am honored to be the Maid of Honor. (bride) and I have known each other since (insert grade – eg – grade seven). It feels like just yesterday we were reading each other excerpts of (eg – insert popular magazine or book of youth – eg – Sweet Valley High), and gossiping about boys on the phone. Over the years, we have brought out the best and worst in each other. However, above all, I think we’ve learned from each other.
The first thing I have learned from (bride) over the years is to never take no for an answer. If you want to have a teacher change a bad grade or stay out past curfew (which come to think of it was probably the reason for the bad grade, you have to know your outcome. (bride) taught me to pester, whine, nag and perpetually ask for anything that I want. Eventually, the other person will become fed up and buckle and voila your wish is granted. Sounds like (groom) has a lot to look forward to!
Secondly, I learned to never be afraid to give all in a relationship. I watched (bride) devote herself to (groom) right from the start. She risked her heart and never held back her true feelings for him. It was the proverbial leap of faith.
Lastly, (bride) taught me that good friends are a precious commodity. She never put a boyfriend above any of her best friends until she fell in love with (groom) and that is excusable! That loyalty made (bride) one of the unique gals I have ever known.
Over the past (number of years) I have thoroughly enjoyed watching this romance sprout and eventually bloom. I was at (name of place bride and groom met) when the happy couple met and there were so many sparks that night I was afraid that my hair was going to light on fire!
(Groom) is a breeze to get along with. He is always making everyone laugh around him. Of course, he’s also handsome and fits the Prince Charming role like he was born for it. As (bride) said the night they met, ‘he’s not too hard on the eyes, is he?’
When I heard (bride) and (groom) were engaged, I had to hear the whole story! It turns out that he proposed to her while they went on a romantic ski weekend in (name event and place – eg – Vermont) in Vermont. She walked into the room and it was filled with rose petals and champagne.
(bride) and (groom) a truly a match made in heaven.
Maid of Honor Speech – From Friend – Quick Speech
Can you believe it? (Bride) has finally found a man deserving of her. As one of her oldest friends and maid of honor, I’m thrilled to be welcoming (groom) into our circle of friends.
I’m equally delighted, to have the opportunity to say a few unbiased words about awesome (bride) is.
We go way back to the time when her ideal choice of man was (enter Action actor – eg – Vin Diesel, Sylvester Stallone). It did not take her long to realize that you should choose brains over brawn any day of the week. Clearly, with her choice of (groom) she has found someone who can match her intellect and warm heartedness.
Over the years, we’ve drifted apart physically (bride) to (enter city) and I went to (enter city). However, this did not matter because the physical distance did not prevent her from always there for me and always says the right thing. Whenever I’ve needed a friend to talk with she has always been there for me even when she is terribly busy. She always knows how to say the right thing to put things in perspective or simply cheer me up. Her advice is the most trusted advice I can receive.
A toast — I know it’s been done before, but — please raise your glasses to this fine couple: May their joys be as bright as the morning, and their sorrows but shadows that fade in the sunlight of love.
