3 MOHs...all giving a speech?

I am in a wedding where there are a total of 10 bridesmaids and 10 groomsman. Within those there are 3 MOH and 3 Best Men. Originally we thought the 3 MOH would write a combined speech and have one girl read. Now the bride and groom are asking us all to do our own speech. I know no one really wants to have to listen to 6 speeches, plus maybe speeches from parents. Are they being rediculous to ask us all to do speeches? Is it ok to make my speech short and to the point?

    You are right. I went to a wedding like that once. In addition to the wedding party speeches, members of the family on each side gave speeches. Although most of them were excellent speakers, it was excruciating to sit and listen to eight or more speeches, loaded with inside jokes, before dinner. It turned a lovely wedding reception into a roast. If you plan to make a speech, keep it short, but sweet. Could you possibly make the speeches at the RD instead of the reception?

    Good luck.

    Maire has an excellent idea about speeches being done at the RD.  Can you approach the B&G about that?  Are they really thinking about what they are asking of their guests?

    I"d sooner die than listen to six honor attendants give 'speeches.' OK, maybe not die, but you get my drift. 

    I'm a believer they really ought to give short, sweet and to the point toasts. It's not like they need to give an eight-minute oration about how amazing the bride and groom are, for goodness sake. A few thoughts expressed eloquently and efficiently along with sincere wishes for the bride and groom is more than adequate.
