Before anything else you must tell the gathering who you are, how you know the couple and where you come from. This is a good way of making sure that everyone knows who is the most important friend in the bride’s life, something that also gives you a good reputation. Not doing so will dull the moment in vagueness. Also try to be short if you want people to listen to the rest of your speech. Be grateful by expressing your thanks for being selected to be a maid of honor. Once this is done you can get into further details about the marriage taking place.
This is where you have to be impersonal and focus on a universal delivery. As you may have noticed most, if not all, of the speeches that are delivered at wedding celebrations are distinctly positive. This characteristic means that your maid of honor speech has to be one of reflecting on good moments in your lives together. Doing this does not require much, a day before the celebration just take a paper and pen and list the major highlights of your friendship with the bride. Once you begin to reflect be sure to draw a connection between the memories and the marriage.
With marriage being an event with implications for the future it would be good to predict a future of hope; prosperity and fertility. Nothing beats optimism in a world of negativity. Guidance and marriage counseling is normally carried out before the marriage but it won’t hurt to add a sting of it in your speech. Advice is not really a potential mood killer if it’s employed properly, and that means a little of it. Try to make it short as well.
Apart from being optimistic this affirmation of the future is guaranteed to make the couple want to get married even more, any doubts will be gotten rid of. But remember this: you must wish the couple well for their marriage. A few words of hope for a good marriage are uplifting and they make the couple certain that things will work out. Another way to achieve a good ending is by narrating a poem that you wrote. The intimacy of poems adds a romantic and positive feel that beats any stage performance. Getting quotes on marriage and commitment is a sure-fire way of sealing a good speech.
