Maid of Honor Speeches

I’m one of those perpetually disorganized people. You know the type. At work my desk is piled high with papers, and I have to search high and low for important things that I need at the last minute. Yeah, I know that I should learn how to be more organized, but I have this procrastination problem too.

Anyway, I’m selected maid of honor for my friend, Candy’s wedding and I’m really jazzed about it, because I like her and Brendan a lot. We all work for the same company and run in the same circles. I knew just about everybody that was going to be at the wedding, so I was really looking forward to it.

But, like with most things in my life, I put off getting prepared for this big event until the very last minute. I’m talking about the night before the wedding. By the way, I’d already given a maid of honor speech once, for my best friend Stacy. And I had never felt as humiliated in my whole life as I did then, my speech quite simply sucked. I vowed that if I ever had to give a maid of honor speech again, I would be prepared.

So, anyway, there I was, desperately searching online for some maid of honor speech ideas the night before the wedding. I found lots of scattered information, but I really didn’t have time to sit there for hours picking through bits and pieces.

I needed all of these ideas in the same place, so I stumbled onto this website and learned that I could buy a book of maid of honor speeches. Great! That’s exactly what I needed at 10 o’clock at night. Fortunately, I could download it to my computer right away.

I skimmed through the book and found a couple of examples that seemed exactly what I was looking for. I wanted a lighthearted speech with some heartfelt sentiments sprinkled in for good measure. I decided to use parts from both examples that I liked and combine the two together. Changed a few words around here and there to make it personal and walla! My speech was ready and I was able to sleep soundly that night.

My speech went off without a hitch, even though I lost the paper that it was written on for a brief moment. Found it in the car, thankfully. This just goes to show you that even a disorganized person like me can put together a great maid of honor speech with a little organized help.
