Awkward toast poll

saschaduran · July 2009

For the already hitched: Did anyone say something in a toast that made you uncomfortable or embarassed you at your wedding? My SIL said something that bugged me. She said she was so happy he finally found someone that loved him back as much as he loved her, and possibly loves him more. A. Obvious reference to the horrible relationship he had with his ex girlfriend, even though she started to stalk him as soon as he met me and she knew he was falling for someone else. B. Saying I love him more than he loves me makes me sound desperate. It kind of offended me. We love each other equally.

Our toasts were awesome however I had a coworker who told me that his BM (also his brother) commented on the bride's giant boobs in his toast.Klassy.

My sister said that I was more than a sister and a best friend. She said I was a daughter to her. That was weird. She's only 6 years older than me. BUt, I guess she feels like since my mom is gone she's gotta fill that motherly role. Kind of sweet kind of weird. I have never thought of her as a mother figure in my life.

Awww:) Its a sweet thought at least...she probably thinks of her role in that way partially.

mandysmear · July 2009

Yeah it is a sweet thought. She didn't prepare anything else. She only said that. She started to cry so I'm glad she didn't say much else. She's a pretty emotional person these days.

I have to admit that I was quite nervous about my BIL. He says some bizzare stuff at times. But he totally came though and did a fantastic job. My MOH and dad have awesome toasts.

Not at mine, but at my best friend's wedding. Another BM gave a toast and kept talking about how she couldn't believe they were getting married because she didn't think it would last this long, and how my friend didn't like her DH when they first met and thought he was a loser. And no, it wasn't done in a funny way. My friend and her BM haven't spoken in 3 years.

Best man spoke for over 11 minutes. MIL didn't know that I'd moved in with DH while he lived in his apartment. She thought we only moved in together when we bought our house. Because of the best man's toast, she now knows the truth.

We chose not to have toasts at our wedding. My MOH HATES public speaking, so I told her not to worry about it. My husband and my brother are best friends, so my bro was the best man. He is extremely awkward when speaking in front of large groups. He was also the best man in another friend's wedding, and I had to leave to go the bathroom during his toast. I love my brother, but he always ends up saying something weird or totally inappropriate. So yeah...we decided to forgo the toasts for the greater good.

Our best man (H's brother) started off his speech saying that he was having a hard time trying to decide what to say in his speech, so "last night, when I was alone in my hotel room, writing my speech, drunk in the hotel bathtub..." etc. Does anyone know if this is from a movie or something? Because it's still one of the trashiest things I've ever heard, but at least that would make more sense...

Nope, we got lucky. 6 years ago, I did a Dr. Seuss-inspired speech for my sis' wedding, so she responded with one for me in rhyme and a similar style. It was very cool. BIL did one off the cuff that was shorter than my sis' but rocked. DH had been so worried about it, too, BIL is his little brother and DH still thinks of him as a flaky kid, so it's great that he pulled it together and did great.

I went to HS with two sisters. At one sister's wedding, the other made a speech saying that she thought the groom was very 'girly' when she first met him because he had a weak handshake, and that her sister is so mean to him sometimes that she probably doesn't deserve him... needless to say, somewhat awkward!

dukeylouise · July 2009

The BM speech lasted for about 5-10 minutes and most of the time he was going "Uh" and "Um" because he didn't know what to say. He looked like he was going to puke the whole time. Our guests started telling him what to say like "Wish them the best!" Finally he wrapped up his speech by saying he has an extra bed that H can use if he ever needs it. GREAT.

bonniebelle33 · July 2009

i went to a wedding where all the BM said was "may all your ups and downs be between the sheets". That's it. Complete and total silence. Crickets even.

My mother in law got up and "apologized for anything we overlooked". That's all she said. I didn't get it.My MOH didn't say anything embarrassing... she just blabbered on FOR-EV-ER about NOTHING.

buttaflai · July 2009

Oh, and during the tea ceremony, while my MIL was asking my mother for permission for H to marry me, she said, "I would love her as my own daughter---even more than you."...as if my mother doesn't give me enough love.

My coworker told me about a wedding he went to where the brides brother talked about how she used to pick her nose and wipe boogers on the wall then blame it on him...

katiewhompus · July 2009

I was a little nervous at the wedding simply because the two people giving toasts were my sil and bil. I was a little worried the toasts would be all about Dh (yes I know how selfish that sounds) but my sil/moh was amazing. It was basically "For those of you who love and are protective of Scott but don't know Kristi, she is the most amazing, loving, perfect person for my brother to be with. And for those of you who don't know Scott but love and are protective of Kristi, Scott is blah blah blah"One wedding I went to the BM actually pulled out a pair of pants at the beginning of the speech and said "Well, I guess the groom won't be needing these anymore, as he will never get to wear the pants in the relationship again". Most of the groom's friends did not approve of the bride or the wedding and didn't even attempt to hold it in. The bride was uber pissed but kept it under wraps (mostly).
