Maid of Honor Wedding Speeches
Maid of Honor Wedding Speech #1
Good Evening! For those of you who don't know me, I'm _________, the very proud big sister of our glamorous Bride. I want to start by congratulating bride and groom, and thanking all of you for coming here today.
When I look at the bride and groom, I feel such a whirlwind of emotions? I know that _____ has found her true match and I know that theirs will be a marriage of long standing. My heart is bursting with love for you two today. I know you have a wonderful adventure ahead of you, and with God's blessing your marriage will last for decades to come.
I never knew _____ before he dated my sister, so I can't tell you horrible stories about him, but I can tell you that I think he's perfect for my sister!? He's easy going, interesting, easy to talk to, and he has a great sense of humor! We are very happy to welcome _____ into our family. We know he's made for us, and we hope we're made for him!
______, I want to note how beautiful you look today, and to tell you that this has truly been a special day for me. Thank you for giving true meaning to the word sister and for sharing the last 28 years with me. My parents and I have just loved this girl from the day she was born. We've coddled her, enjoyed her, and laughed with her.? I know how much joy she has brought into our lives, and I know that she'll bring that joy into ______ life as well.
As children, _____ and I were pretty much inseparable, and we always managed to keep each other laughing. When I think back on our adventures in childhood, I have nothing but fond memories. The fondest memories include the times we spent at the river having picnic lunches.
Add a personal memory here, or two etc. To this day, ____ is the only person I know that can make me laugh so hard it hurts. I have a lot more funny and embarrassing stories about her, but because this is her special day, I will leave her alone now.
I thought about the words of advice that we'd like to give to the newlyweds and came up with this:
The two secrets of a long lasting and happy marriage are a good sense of humor and a short memory!
Always remember to say those three important little words..."You're right dear."
If you're clever, you'll always have the last word. However, if you are very clever, you won't use it.
Whenever you are wrong, admit it. Whenever you are right, be quiet.
And, _____, always remember...a happy wife, makes for a happy life!
Separately, you are two special, remarkable people, but together you are complete. As you sit side by side through this roller coaster of life, remember to scream from the peaks, hold hands through the dips, laugh through the loop the loops, and enjoy every twist and turn.
For the ride is much better when you share it together. Coming together is the beginning; keeping together is progress; working together is success.
My wishes for ______and _______ are that they have a continued loving friendship and partnership; that they enjoy success and laughter; that they are blessed with children; and that they always see and talk with their heart.?
My greatest wish for the two of you is that through the years, your love for each other will deepen and grow. Years from now, may you look back on this day, your wedding day, as the day you loved each other the least. I wish you the very best. My love to the both of you.
Please raise your glasses while I toast my sister and her husband:
Take each day and cherish your time together. Love one another and stand together. Take time to talk to one another. Put your love and your family first; your job and your hobbies second. May your love be like the wind, strong enough to move the clouds, soft enough to never hurt, but always never ending? So here's to love, laughter, and happily ever after. Cheers!

Maid of Honor Wedding Speech #2
Before I start I would like to say that ____ you look absolutely beautiful. For those of you know don't know me my name is ____ and for those of you who do, I'll have the usual, just put the bottle next to my purse.
When ____ first asked me to be her bridesmaid I felt delighted but as the big day approached I was informed that I would be doing a speech and a toast. Being the shy and retiring type I was trying to think of ways of getting out of it, but have any of you tried saying no to ____.
Then I thought what could I talk about, like all self respecting 30 something year old, I did research and came up with some sayings that I would like to share with you,
Some say that marriage begins when you sink into his arms and ends up with your arms in his sink. Others would say that when a man holds a woman's hand before marriage, its love, after marriage it is self-defense.
They say that before marriage a man will lay awake thinking about something you said, after marriage he'll fall asleep before you have finished saying it. Now, I'm sure that there are some of you out there that can relate to that.
Before I finish, I would like to offer my own advice for a happy and successful marriage, now just because I'm not married or never have been it doesn't mean to say I am now not an expert on it.
Groom, Whenever you're wrong, admit it, whenever you right, shut up.
The best way to remember an anniversary is to forget it just once.
Set the ground rules immediately and then do everything _____ says.
Road maps are always a good thing.
Never forget the two most important saying, you're right dear and okay buy it.
Never be afraid that _____ will leave you, she has spent years training you and she won't give that up lightly.
Women really do really need a pair of shoes for every outfit. So on that note before I get into any trouble, I'll propose the toast. To _____ and _____
A wedding day will be remembered
For all the joy it brings
A day of love and happiness
Of vows and wedding rings
A day of new beginnings
Learning what love truly means
Your wedding day is just the start
Of many hopes and dreams.
To the bride and groom!
Maid of Honor Wedding Speech #3
I'm in favor of plenty of short speeches, because they inevitably lead to plenty of toasts. So I'm on my feet for two reasons: Firstly because my very dear friend has made a beautiful bride, and I want to say so, and secondly because it gives me the chance to add to the toast count.
______has been a great friend in so many ways. We've had a lot of fun together, and she's always been there for me when things were tough. We've come to know one another so well, that we have an understanding that goes beyond words.
We don't judge, and we don't have to explain. So, when it happened, _____didn't really have to say much to make it clear to me that Gilles was The One. All the signs were there... the special looks ... the way her face would light up when he was around.
And in due course there were the bigger changes to their lives as they became a couple. It all felt right as it happened, it all feels right today, and I know that the life they have ahead of them will feel just as right as it does today. All in all, ___ and ____, I can see you both making a success of everything you do together.
With one possible exception: I don't know just how much progress _____ will be able to make in her efforts to teach _____ to cook meals and do housework while she's off to work. It's been a lifetime of him Mom taking real good care of him. ______, help him to grow up..please!.
And I don't know how far ____ will get in persuading his bride ways to spend less time at the mall. The drain on your wallets will be disastrous considering they both like to shop..
Not that it matters.
All we need to know is that these two people have already become comfortable with one another. And that they're excited to be in each other's company.
And that tells me that they have the foundation for a wonderful marriage: not just lovers, but lifelong friends as well.
I am ecstatic for both of you. You truly complement one another. You met as friends and it evolved into a love that so many people rarely find today. Love after all, doesn't make the world go around.
Love is what makes the ride worthwhile. And it's a wonderful thing when two people who were made for each other manage to fall in love. So I'd like to make a toast. And I'd like to make it with this thought in mind: If there is such a thing as a good marriage, it is because it resembles friendship rather than love. So this is to you, _____ and _____, and a wonderful life together. Ladies and Gentlemen, to friends, lovers and soul mates.
Maid of Honor Wedding Speech #4
Ladies and Gentlemen, I don't want to say a lot today, but I do want to say one or two very important things. _____ has been a great friend in so many ways.
We've had a lot of fun together, and she's always been there for me when things were tough. We've come to know one another so well, that we have an understanding that goes beyond words.
We don't judge, and we don't have to explain. So, when it happened, _____ didn't really have to say much to make it clear to me that _____was The One. All the signs were there... the special looks ... the way her face would light up when he was around.
And in due course there were the bigger changes to their lives as they became a couple. It all felt right as it happened, it all feels right today, and I know that the life they have ahead of them will feel just as right as it does today.
All in all, ____ and ____, I can see you both making a success of everything you do together. With one possible exception: I don't know just how much progress ____will be able to make in her efforts to teach _____ to make his own food..
And I don't know how far Harold will get in persuading Rebecca ways to spend less time shopping...look out, your credit card is in trouble. Not that it matters. All we need to know is that these two people have already become comfortable with one another.
And that they're excited to be in each other's company. And that tells me that they have the foundation for a wonderful marriage: not just lovers, but lifelong friends as well. Emily Bronte wrote some words that I think are apt here. She said: "Whatever our souls are made of, his and mine are the same." _____and _____, your souls ARE the same. You make a perfect couple, you truly deserve each other, and I know You WILL both have a long and happy life together. So ladies and gentlemen, I would like to offer a toast: to my wonderful friend _____, her perfect husband ____, and true love.
Maid of Honor Wedding Speech #5
I'm here because my very dear friend is getting married, and boy does she make a beautiful bride _____ has been a great friend in so many ways.
We've had a lot of fun together, and she's always been there for me when things were tough. Whether it was 3 in the morning or afternoon she remained loyal to me. She was there like no one else has been there for me besides my own mother.
Fun times, yes there were many. Who can forget " midnight apple bobbing?"
We've come to know one another so well, that we have an understanding that goes beyond words. When ____ proposed, ____ didn't really have to say much to make it clear to me that he was The One. All the signs were there... the special looks ... the way her face would light up when he was around. It all felt right as it happened, it all feels right today, and I know that the life they have ahead of them will feel just as right as it does today.
All in all, you two, I can see you both making a success of everything you do together, especially in your marriage. Oh yeah, with a couple exceptions: I don't know just how much progress _____ will be able to make in her efforts to teach _____ to play golf properly but at least there's hope with ___ around.
And I don't know how far _____ will get in persuading Jolene ways to spend less time talking on the phone. I don't know how he even finds the time to talk to her.
However, I know they have the foundation for a wonderful marriage: not just lovers, but lifelong friends as well. _____, I want to say thank you. You make things entertaining and exciting for the rest of us. Every one of us is proud to be your friend, and we'd do anything for you. You're a giving person, you're always there if we need you, and we just love you to bits.. .even though you can sometimes drive us crazy.
So I'm just as glad as I can be that you're married, and I hope that your road goes on forever and your party never ends. Good luck to you and your wonderful man. Thank you for bringing color into our lives, and I hope there's plenty in yours for many, many years. Ladies and gentlemen, I'd like to offer a toast: To _____ and _____, and a wonderful life together
