Maid Of Honour Speech 101
The maid of honour speech is a new addition in the customary speeches delivered at weddings. Because it is quite new, rules regarding structure and content are still lacking. Nevertheless, there are vital ingredients to creating this speech, these include the following.
The introductory lines – The opening line for this speech can have any tone – serious, entertaining, funny or formal. You can crack a joke, tease the couple gently or make a witty reference if you like. But however you do it, you should have an introduction about yourself. This is because there could be some people in the audience who don’t know you. To do this, you need to say your name and briefly explain how you are related to the bride. After a little introduction, give your thanks to the bride for selecting you as her maid of honour and maybe drop hints why you accepted the invitation to deliver a speech.
The body of the speech – The maid of honour speech is a speech that is dedicated to the bride. In fact, the entire speech, save for some parts that discuss how the speaker feels, discusses on the bride. It shares some meaningful insights about the bride’s character, her attitude, and how she relates to other people, especially his groom. In the recent years, however, it has become a trend for maids of honour to talk about the groom as well.
It is also in this section of the speech that anecdotes, usually funny, are mentioned as well. A quick word on selecting anecdotes – choose ones that are in good taste. Avoid the ones that will give a negative idea about the bride and the groom.
You can also talk about the significance of the ceremony in the body of the speech. The maid of honour is free to express her personal opinions as well as give her personal commentaries about the occasion.
The conclusion – The speech is wrapped up after all the necessary details are mentioned. Although there is no general rule for ending the speech, most maids of honour end their speech it with an encouraging message to the newlyweds. These can also conlude with best wishes for a happy life together that are condensed into a poetic but short line. These sort of inspire the newlyweds to look forward to a wonderful future together. Although of course, the speech can be ended according to your taste.
The toast and final remarks – After the final remarks come a toast that is offered by the maid of honour on behalf of the bride. The toast can take the form of a regular toast or a funny but meaningful message.
Although the maid of honour speech could be entertaining, most happens to be sentimental. More often than not, it remembers precious little memories while encouraging the newlyweds to look ahead for a happy future together.
