How do you write a brilliant maid of honor speech?

I'm my big sister's maid of honor, but I've never been to a wedding before so I don't really know what to expect for my speech. I looked up some toasts but they're mostly cheesy stupid stuff. I'm only 15 so I know all the guests are going to be expecting something that will sound immature and lame, so I'd like to write a really good speech.





I don't really know what to write though.


My sister and I are really close, and she's about five years older than me.


I'd like some ideas or suggestions for a good speech, it's much appreciated. :]





Please %26amp; thanks.

How do you write a brilliant maid of honor speech?
talk about how happy you are to have her for a sister, and how happy you are that she has found someone she loves.


you could talk about things you both did as kids, how she encouraged you to learn how to skate, or ride your bike. how she offered to go beat up the boy who broke your heart in grade school. how she used to let you win at pillow fights but always took the last popsicle.


just little anecdotes about her and you, what she taught you, what you love about her and how you hope when you get married you'll look as beautiful as she does today! then you close with something like


'to my sister, lissie and my new brother brian. may you always be happy.'





good luck sweetie, you will do just fine!
Reply:Since you're so close to the bride, do you have any fun stories you could incorporate into the toast? When you were both little, did you ever talk about getting married, and what kind of a person she thought she'd marry? Or what expectations you had with marriage? An eight year old's concept of marriage can be pretty hilarious. When my cousin got married, her younger sister was the maid of honor and in her speech, she told a cute story about when her sister first met her husband-to-be -- he may not have swept her off her feet on the first meeting, but he still managed to win her heart in the end. It was a simple, personal story that evoked laughter and spoke to both the bride and groom, as told from a perspective of a loving sister. It didn't need to be formal or elegant -- from such a close family member, you knew it could only come from the heart. You have the benefit of knowing the bride your whole life; something heartfelt and funny would make a lovely speech that the guests will enjoy and your sister will remember and cherish forever.
Reply:you could say something about how lucky your sister is... she looks beautiful, she is a lovely person and she has a fantastic husband and finally last but not least she has a brilliant little sister!





Keep it short and sweet!


Good luck
Reply:The best advice that I could give you would be to speak from your heart...and maybe make people laugh a little.


Perhaps you can start off by saying, "You know, I remember the time when my sister..." and then tell a funny story from your childhood...something that is funny, but not to embarrassing for the bride.


Tell people that you are really close to your sister and the reasons why you are so close to your sister.


You can simply say that you are so happy that your sister has found this love in her life. You wish her a lifetime of happiness and you hope that someday she will be the one standing next to you giving the speech...except without the embarrassing moments...lol





Here is something that I found that may help you as well. Best of luck...and don't worry...the toasts/speeches are usually short and sweet. Don't worry about writing an essay, just something nice that will speak to her heart. Speak to her and tell her what you feel like no one else is in the room...then it's really heartfelt.
