~Tuesday May 10th QOTD~

So Tuesday's QOTD is all about toasts! Who's giving toasts at your wedding? Are you going to give them any guidance as to what or what NOT to say? Are any stories about you and FH off limits??

So at our wedding my MOH (my sister) and our best man (FH's brother) will be doing toasts. We haven't said anything to them about what to say but we definitely have hinted at things NOT to talk about considering our entire families will be listening! Pretty much any story involving alcohol or exes is off limits..but you never know what people will say when there's an open bar in the room!

Re: ~Tuesday May 10th QOTD~

I am terrified of this!!!

My MOH is my cousin who my mom took care of when we were young (she is 16 yrs older) She has not been in a wedding in a LONG time. She also has tons of embarassing stories of me from when I was young and she has NO FILTER. I'm also considered bc she mispronounces things all the time (i.e ideas= ideaRs)

the best man is FH's brother-- I'm not too worried about him except he will say Umm or some other random filler every other word

I assume my sisters will be giving the MOH speech. I think between the two of them it will turn out to be a good one. Not sure about the BM... But I do know that FH wants to break tradition and give his own speech, oh boy!

omgggggggggg

Ok so I want my dad to give a quick toast as the host. When my mom mentioned something about it he got all glowy and said I get to say something? And I could tell he was really happy. My father is the King of embarassing but for some reason I don't think he would say anything wrong here, he would keep it short and sweet.

My MOH is my best friend and I know she'll put a lot of thought into what to say but last time I heard her do a speech as MOH it didn't go so well. She mumbled and spoke really softly and no one knew what the hell she was saying but hopefully that won't happen this time.

We don't know who the BM is yet...

BUT FH mentioned that his sister will want to give a toast. She is a drama queen and attention seeker (also a BM) so I already guessed she would. I told him she can speak at the rehersal dinner, there is NO WAY I will have her speak at my wedding I can only imagine what it would turn into.

Re: ~Tuesday May 10th QOTD~

I decided that no one will do any toasts or give any speeches lol

Re: ~Tuesday May 10th QOTD~

We'll ask our BM and MOH if they feel comfortable giving a speech, if they are then great, if they aren't then we'll just skip it. I'm shy so I can understand it being difficult for them to give a speech in front of so many ppl.
FH's BM is a drinker so I am a bit worried that he will ramble on and on for a while about god knows what during his speech.
My SIL would most likely do the speech for me and there'd be no worry of her saying anything really embarrassing.
I think FH and I will make a quick toast just to thank everyone for being with us to celebrate.

My MOH (my sister) and BM (his brother) will be giving toasts. All I have to say is that we will be doing the toasts as early as possible so that they are done before they are drunk.

We are not putting any stories that are off limits and hoping that they remember that there is a mixed crowd!

Re: ~Tuesday May 10th QOTD~

My MOH & FH's Best Man will be doing the toasts- it should be fun- not too nervous...I don't think my MOH will go into too many stories...I think FH & I might do a little' thank-you' toast as well at the end because half of our guests will be from Boston- so we want to thank them for coming down, etc.

Re: ~Tuesday May 10th QOTD~

I am going to say my sister/MOH and his brother/Best Man will give toasts. I think it should happen as soon as we are seated, before people drink too much for sure.

I also think FH and I will say a few words, and thank everyone for coming etc.

Re: ~Tuesday May 10th QOTD~

My MOH and FH's brothers (BM) will be giving speeches. Perhaps later on in the night my parents and FH's dad might say something. but other than that, i'm not worried about what they might say.

Re: ~Tuesday May 10th QOTD~

We have not really spoken about this. In Minnesota it is just tradition that the MOH(Cousin) and BM(FH friends) give the toasts. We normally don't tell them to, they just do it. So that is what I am assuming will happen. Not sure if they will do it in both places or if we will have someone else do it in New York....

Re: ~Tuesday May 10th QOTD~

My two MOH's will be giving a toast and so will the BM. I am worried about the BM because he is a nervous public speaker and I have no idea what he will say that could possibly embarrass us. Definitely plan on checking his speech.

Re: ~Tuesday May 10th QOTD~

We'll have my MOH and his two Best men. I might be a bit weary of what one of his best men might say (one is his best friend and the other is his brother...I'm worried about his best friend) but his girlfriend is one of my best friends so I'm just going to have her make sure theirs nothing bad in there. I'm sure my dad will make a speech too... and im sure that will be interesting.

Re: ~Tuesday May 10th QOTD~

We haven't figured this out yet just know that we will do the toasts during the champagne toast.

Re: ~Tuesday May 10th QOTD~

my sister MOH and his brothers BMen will be giving toasts. Right after we got engaged, my sister wrote the MOH speech (she is a little ahead of herself)

I am not worried about anything they say, I know the speeches will be wonderful!

Re: ~Tuesday May 10th QOTD~

our GM is the only one doing a toast and he is terrified about it lol we told him to just have fun with it. when my FH had to do the toast for our friends last year he did a whole musical number it was the best toast i've seen, just original and fun, thats what i want lol

Re: ~Tuesday May 10th QOTD~

Not sure yet... we have two MOH's (my sister and best friend) and two BM's (his brother and best friend) so we might have two give a speech at the rehearsal dinner and then two at the reception. Not sure who will be speaking at what yet though.
