Reading other speeches on this website helped me figure out what I wanted to focus on in my maid of honor speech. I thought if my speech could help another, that would be great. :)

I was the groom and this is what I wrote as one of the readings that the best woman read out for us. Hope you like it. It was written after a long search on website after website for a decent reading that wasn't cheesy or filled with saccharine. I think it'll appeal more to the guys in the audience but my wife also liked it too. Enjoy

I do a lot of presentations for my job so although the prospect of speaking in front of over 100 people didn't worry me, I'd never given a personal speech before and I found it quite an emotional experience! I was given a 5 minute time limit (as were the best men) but I knew I didn't want to fill that much. This turned out to be about 4 mins, with some omissions and some ad libbing. I'd say if you're speaking at a wedding where there are a lot of children, this speech might be a bit on the long side - there weren't many at this wedding but the smaller ones were getting restless towards the end
