Bad Maid of Honor Speech

Do nothing. not everyone can make a great speech or toast.

I don't think there is much you can do now besides just let it go. It won't change anything since its done with. Sucks that she said those things at your reception though.

I think you have to just let it go. I am sorry you were disappointed

If you've already made it clear that her speech made you uncomfortable and hurt your feelings, I don't think there's much you can do from here.

Have you told her you were uncomfortable?

At this point, if you talk about it, you may completely lose this friendship. Is that what you're willing to do?

Forgive her and move on.

ETA: assuming you've already talked to her about it.

Move on if you still want to be friends with her. I can't tell you the content of any speech that happened at a wedding, honestly including my own. It sucks you were embarrassed though

There's not much you can do. She probably feels stupid to begin with.

Eek. It sounds like a horrible speech; sharing info about your doubts is especially inappropriate. But it also sounds like she didn't have bad intentions or mean to embarrass you. I don't think it's fair to be upset that she sees stories you share, not what's between you and your DH. I think all friends do that to an extent. Most of what I know about my friend's spouses is through their stories. If you guys have already addressed this and she genuinely feels bad about it, I think you should let it go and try to forgive her.

That's a friend I'd be keeping at an arms length from now on.

Not everyone is good at speeches. Let this go if you want to keep the friendship.

That's horrible and I'm so sorry. What was the audience reaction? I'm assuming horrified - did she seem to notice and just not care? Did she say anything to you after about bombing?

I'm worried my MOH will be drunk and say something inappropriate or cuss a lot (which my family would absolutely hate.) She's very hit or miss - I've seen her drink 10 drinks and be fine and I've seen her drink 2 and be hammered. I've talked to her about the importance of not cussing during the speech... but when she is drinking all bets are off unfortunately.

Was she drinking....wasted....almost wasted or something? I'm hoping she was to explain why she behaved like that. Regardless it's done now you can't take it back. Apologize to anyone who may have been hurt and move on

Forgive and forgot. That is all that you can do. Sorry you were let down on such an important day

There's nothing you really can do unfortunately

Unfortunately, i have been numerous weddings with cringeworthy speeches. it's not anyone's goal... i just think some people aren't good at public speaking. i wouldn't assume she had bad intentions.

Move on. What's done is done. But if you don't think she likes you two then maybe rethink the friendship.

We've all heard bad wedding speeches. I used to waitress at a winery for weddings and some of the speeches (best men were the worst offenders) were down right utter cringe. Ultimately though, if you know she wouldn't have meant harm then you just need to forgive her.

Nope, that is beyond bad, but it's over.

And it's time to rethink that friendship.

I would say she probably wanted to give a lovely speech and it ended up backfiring unfortunately.

Like others have said not everyone is good at speeches especially in front of alot of people. That's scary in itself!
