It’s common for the best man and maid of honor to do their speeches after dinner. This, however, can be problematic.\u00a0 First, they won’t be able to enjoy dinner – they’ll be so nervous about their speeches that they’ll worry the entire time they’re eating.\u00a0 Second, this worry may lead to them enjoying a little too much ‘liquid courage’.\u00a0 Speeches and copious amounts of alcohol don’t mix.\u00a0 Oh the stories we could tell…including the speech where the inebriated MOH (and groom’s twin sister) started her rambling ad lib speech with “the groom and I came through the same vagina.”<\/p>\n
Our suggestion?\u00a0 Do the Father of the Bride greeting\/welcome before dinner.\u00a0 Then let your caterer serve the salads.\u00a0 After the head table is done eating the salads, have your BM and MOH do their speeches along with the two of you (if you choose to speak).\u00a0 Then, it’s on to dinner with no pressure and no worries!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
