The wedding day is a very special, one of a kind moment for the bride and groom. For the happy couple, the day needs to be perfect, and for the people involved in the wedding, the day needs to be planned down to the very second so that nothing goes wrong. While there may be several people who have been chosen for the wedding party, there are two people who are the most important.
The maid of honor and the best man play a very special role in the wedding. Obviously, these two people hold a special place in the hearts of the couple and they will be more involved in the wedding planning, the wedding preparation, and the sequence of actions on the big day. The maid of honor, usually the bride’s best friend or her sister, most likely knows the bride better than almost anyone else. She is meant to be there with the bride all those days of picking out flowers, dresses, and bouquets. She is the one who helps the bride remember all the little details in the moments leading up to the wedding.
She is the one who will stand beside the bride during the ceremony, and she is the one who will give the special speech at the reception. Many maids of honor balk at the idea of the speech, terrified that they will be boring or that they will ramble, or worst yet, that they will freeze up or even pass out. This stress usually stems from having no idea what to say. However, the maid of honor speech should not be so difficult. Are you going to be serving at the bride’s side on the wedding day? Are you worried about making that speech? The good news is that you can create the perfect speech and it is really not that difficult. If there is one rule when it comes to creating the speech, it is to speak from the heart.
When you take the time to create heartfelt words, you will provide the bride with a speech that she will not forget. Do not be generic, and do not be afraid to bring tears to the guests’ eyes. There are a few guidelines that will help you formulate your words. With this help, you will find that your speech will just flow together. Make sure to start early. If you wait until the last minute to write your speech, then you may be rushed, and your words will sound strained or awkward. Instead, start working on the wording as far in advance as possible. Even if you work on the speech for a while and then put it away for a few weeks to take a breather, the earlier you get started, the better.
Since you know the bride quite well, you have a great advantage when it comes to your speech writing. You can draw from your memories of her through the years. Consider including those cute stories from childhood. Maybe the two of you used to use pillowcases as veils and parade around the living room as little girls. In addition, consider including a story about when the bride and groom met.
Finally, make sure to include a little humor without being embarrassing. You know the bride, and you know what humor will be all right and what will not. As the maid of honor, you hold a very special place in the bride’s heart. Make sure that you provide for her a very special speech that she will treasure forever. Keep to the rule and follow these guidelines, and your speech will be perfect.
