Just Said Yes July 2021

Need Feedback...

Darshan and Dipali, on July 30, 2021 at 2:36 PM Posted in Wedding Reception 0 6

I just got married on 7/4 and it was a great wedding! However, everyone is telling me how I talked SUPER slowly during my wedding speech, something I did not realize in the moment at all. I was trying not to get emotional, but did not realize it would ruin my delivery.


I was dreaming of the moment I gave my wedding speech for so long, and NOW all I can do is overthink this moment over and over again-I cannot believe this is the impression I left on my audience and guests.


Yesterday, I saw the trailer of my wedding, where parts of my speech were included and I can confirm I was speaking super slowly, I am SOOOO embarrassed. I told the vendor to remove the video from their insta and speed up my speech somehow.


How do I get over what I did and forget about it? I feel like I ruined a part of my own wedding. SOS.

    Honestly, it's not something I would overthink or let get to me. I also think it was pretty rude for people to come up to you and tell you that you spoke slowly...that wasn't very kind of them to do.

    I would just try to remember that little things like that are NOT what your wedding was about. You got to marry the love of your life, and celebrate with those that care about you both dearly. That's what really matters, and I'm pretty sure your partner isn't overthinking or dwelling on you speaking slow (or even noticed/remembers lol), so you shouldn't either. Smiley heart

    Honestly you are being critical of something that doesn’t matter at the end of the day. People had no business whatsoever telling you that. Your other guests likely weren’t even bothered by it if they even noticed. Leave it be. We are our own worst critics without letting people who don’t have manners bully anyone.

    I would just think of it as something to laugh at for years to come. As long as you, your husband Bd your guests enjoyed themselves it shouldn’t matter.

    Hi Dipali! If it makes you feel any better, I fast forward during me saying my vows! Ugh the sound of my own voice and I got choked up. It’s embarrassing to me to listen to myself back on anything! We are our own worst critics for sure. For what it’s worth, sounds like your speech was thoughtful, well prepared and heartfelt. Those are the most important qualities of a great speech!! Google wedding disasters and you’ll feel better in no time with the insane videos out there ❤️❤️❤️

    Who are these people? What purpose does it serve to criticize a bride’s speech at a wedding?
    1. It’s probably not as slow as you think, you were primed to notice it because of (frankly, mean) people who decided to call it to your attention.
    2. People who aren’t used to public speaking often rush through everything and no one can understand them, so this is not really a flaw to be honest.
    I will ask you - do these people often take the wind out of your sails? You deserve friends who will lift you up! My personal rule is to not to point out things like this unless something can be done about it immediately - lipstick on teeth that they can wipe off in the moment, etc. If they can’t do anything about it, why would I point it out and make them self conscious?

    Hi ! Whoever told you that. never got married or forgot how one feels on THE day ! Why would you say a bride such a thing, that's just.. unnecessary ! This being said - I always talk too fast ! But still, it doesn't matter ! What you say in your speech should be just listened to and appreciated !
