I will be getting married in another year. my maid of honor (my close cousin), is getting close to being obese. I know she wants to lose weight herself, she makes jokes about herself.. but I want to her to lose weight also for herself and my wedding, any nice way to ask? I am willing to work out with her.
What’s your goal here, to have photos in which bridesmaids match like chorus girls, or to honor your dear friend and relative? If the former, simply hire professional models as "body doubles" for a photo session. Probably safer to do that anyhow, since any of your other bridesmaids might develop an unsightly rash. Besides, you can choose models to complement your own complexion and coloring, even get a minority women just for the panache.
However, if the idea is to honor your friend, then she is no less worthy of honor simply because there is rather a lot of her physical self. She already knows she is fat. She already knows it’s unhealthy and unattractive. Mentioning the matter is neither kind nor helpful. Lay off.
I am the maid of honor in a wedding and I’m just wondering if it is required for the maid of honor to give a toast at the reception? I have been to weddings where it’s been done and others where it was just the best man. The groom is very close with all his groomsman – when one of them got married last year they actually flipped a coin the day of the wedding to see who would serve as best man. Apparently, all the guys gave a toast, as did the maid of honor (the bride’s only attendant – so basically the whole wedding party toasted them). My bride has 4 bridemaids so will it be too much for 5 people to give toasts? I think so, but I’m just wondering everyone’s opinion.
Thanks!
Maybe I should add that public speaking is not my strong point, haha. Besides that, I have no idea what I’d say! I was thinking that instead of giving a speech, I would write them a letter. I don’t know – I just don’t want to be up in front of a bunch of people b/c I’ll make a fool of myself!
No, she hasn’t said anything about it. I don’t know if she’s leaving it up to me or if she’s assuming I will. Next time I talk to her I’ll just let her know that I’m not crazy about speaking in front of large crowds. And hopefully she’ll understand.
i have seen it done a number of times, but i have seen weddings with out a MOH speech. it really is up to the bride and the MOH. if you do not like speaking in front of crowds, then i would not. but i think it adds a sweet touch on the day. 
i have always liked the speeches (with the exception of the 25 minute one i had to endure once).
but i do not think every bridesmaid or groomsmen needs to give a speech. that might take a little too long. one or two of each will be fine.
The bride is my sister. We are very good friends. She is older than me. I dated her ex and now were engaged. shes pregnant.
i dont even know how to go about making a toast because they arent having alcohol or glasses.
Just say what a wonderful sister she is and has been and that you are pleased that she has found a lovely man to share her life with.
Tell some funny stories about her when she was little and slip in comments about her changing … or not etc.
As they are not having alcohol have a simple grape juice or their favourite soft drink to toast them with. As for no glasses, ask the Reception place to have a supply of glasses on stand ready for the toast.
Good luck.

My best friend is getting married this weekend and I am the maid of honor. I am going to wear a white dress but I do not know what color of eyeshadow goes good. I have fair skin, dirty blonde hair, and green eyes. Any suggestions are welcomed.
BUTTTT what the heck???? The only person that should be dressed in white is THE BRIDE. Any person that suggests otherwise is completely selfish. Besides, in your case, white is not a color that suits you as others…as you are white.
You can wear almost any eyeshadow, the most beautiful are shimmering Violet and lavender.
How to Write the Perfect Wedding Speech
Speeches in honor of the happy couple will be recorded and talked about for years.
Writing a good speech, nay, writing a perfect speech is essential.
Watch a few wedding movies like Father of the Bride, Four Weddings and a Funeral, Wedding Singer, or Wedding Crashers.
In a nice, calming and quiet spot, sit down with paper and a pen.
Quirks are great too. Circle the things you think would be good to mention in your speech.
Starting any speech with a small joke opens people up and puts your audience in a good mood.
The story you tell should also avoid taboo subjects.
If it is to be a really short speech, you may not even want to add a story.
End your speech by making another small joke and saying how happy you are that the couple will be together forever.
Now you have the basis for your speech. Make your speech sound nice and flowing.
Say your speech in front of a mirror many times until you have it memorized.
You don’t want to look sad at the happy parts or happy at the sad parts.

I was BFF with this girl from elementary school. We ended up going to different high schools, and wrote every few months. We eventually drifted off, but reconnected on Facebook. She got ‘engaged’ when she was 17, and asked me to be her maid of honor. I knew automatically it was a joke because she falls in love with every guy she meets. Of course, within the month they broke up. I’ve recently got engaged with my High School Sweetheart, and now she is all over me about getting together. I’m getting the impression she thinks she is the maid of honor. On top of that, I have no desire to see her because we’re both COMPLETELY different people. I will not tell her directly how I feel because I know if someone told me that, I would be upset.
So, what should I do? I don’t want to cut off contact, but I don’t want her to think we’re still BFF.
Unfortunately you will have to be honest with her and tell her that she is no longer your best friend and hasn’t been for years… Explain that you both have grown up and no longer in elementary school. Naturally, you’ve both moved on. There is no need to mention anything about her wanting to be maid of honour though because she might retaliate and tell you she never thought about that (to save her face).
Yes, she will be upset and will want to withdraw but that is the only way. Honesty is always best and would save both of you a lot of trouble and future unnecessary heartache.
You won’t necessarily have to be "direct" when being honest. Other ways could be to talk about your new friends etc.
Congratulations on your engagement! On another thought, maybe she just wants to get together because she is excited for you! Not necessarily because she expects to be your MOH?
