Should I say a maid of honor speech?
July 24, 2010
So I am 14, and my dad is getting married in October. Because my dad has previously been married, I am the maid of honor and my brother is the best man. I know that most maid of honors make speeches, but I was wondering if I should? Also, does anyone have any ideas on what to write or how to write one?
Thank you soo much for answering!!!!
Yes I think you should.
Make a joke about you knowing the bride for almost as long as the groom has.
Tell people how happy your dad has been since meeting her.
and that you look forward to all the shopping trips with your new step mom.
Wish both of them many years of happiness and joy. (Keep luck out of it)
Then turn to the bride and thanks her for asking you to be her maid of honor, and as such if she ever needs a friend she can always call on you. When you are done, say "now lets get this party started!"

Yes. You should talk about how happy your dad has been with his fiance up until their wedding. You should wish them luck and happiness and also say something nice about your new step mom

It would and should be dependent on the couple’s wishes.
Best Man’s and Maid of Honor speeches are usually reserved to ADULTS, that have something adult they can add to the ceremony and do so at the bequest of the Bride and Groom – you and your brother are merely filling in as a formality and to make you part of the wedding party (being nice to you) – but since you’re not an adult, or have any adult input you could possibly add, your comments could come off sounding childish and ruin the whole thing.
Ask your parents, and get their approval.

I was my sister’s maid of honor when I was 14 and didn’t give a speech. Don’t feel pressured to, but talk to your dad’s fiancee to find out her expectations.
