Wedding season is in full bloom, and with all of the romantic festivities comes an environment that's ripe for dramas and emotional implosions to break out at a moment's notice. In this case, it sounds like the best man let his temper and strong disapproval of his buddy's bride get the best of him. What ensued was a rather nasty wedding toast. He decided to consult the moral judges of Reddit's AITA community to see whether or not he was in the wrong. A fair number of people were in agreement that he could've handled the situation much better than he did. There's a time and a place for those harsh words to come out. Probably not best to unleash verbal havoc at the actual wedding. For some more wedding drama check out this vegan who wanted a wedding guest's vegan meal, got called out, and then pitched a full fit.

    Font - AITA telling the truth in the wedding toast? I'm a 30 year old male and my best friend got married last week. I just bought a house and my wife is expecting out son in November, so I let him know I was limited in what I could contribute financially, but did tell him I would try my best. So, I wend to the bachelor party in Maine, I rented the tux, and paid for mine and my wife's dinner at the rehearsal dinner. I also had a gift of $300 that I was going to give them, but we will get to why

    Font - 1. My wife was NOT allowed to talk about our pregnancy, at all. She didn't want anyone to focus on that more than her, the bride. 2. She was NOT going to order special food for my wife (no one asked her to, my wife was fine with whatever she was going to be served.) 3. I was not helping the groom enough, he had to help her with favors, seating charts and programs, so l had to help him with those things, according to her. She also said to get ready to help with thank you notes after the we

    Font - 5. She had to read a approve my speech before the rehearsal dinner and wanted to be include as much, as my buddy. She told me to make up things if I had to. I was also NOT allowed to include anyone but the two of them and no inside jokes or stories about my buddy that didn't include her. 6. Her last text said to tell my wife to keep it together and not make a pregnancy scene during the wedding. Also, she wanted her to choose a dress that downplayed her pregnancy as much as possible.

    Font - I was just so aggravated, I spoke to my friend to see if he could reason with her. He told me to just play ball on this one, it's her day and to cut him a break, because he'd be dealing with her nonsense for the rest of his life. I was annoyed but calmed down. The day of, all the bride and my buddy do is scold me, berate me and bark orders. T head down to the bar for the a drink...the bride's mother is there and warns me not to get drunk because l've ruined her daughter's day enough. Fina

    Font - 1 Award From the title alone, I was prepared to think you were the AH...through the bridezilla bits I was thinking yikes, they are the AH...and by the time I got to the end I was a firm ESH. I don't blame you for not giving the card. They treated you horribly and did not deserve the generous gift you were prepared to give. But I think being "honest" in the speech took it too far. You would have been better off just cutting it super short ("words can't even describe these two...so let's ra

    Font - 2 O 98 Awards ESH- here's why: 1. Groom knew he was marrying a piece of work and instead of protecting his interests he cosigned, aided, and abetted his wife's atrocious behavior. 2. His wife sucks for trying to regulate your wife's body, for allowing her insecurities to cloud her judgement, and being the very definition of a bridezilla. 3. You, for not taking the high road and waiting until the very last min to defend your wife's honor. Look dude, you were totally justified, but you also

    Font - rapt2right · 11h ESH but I think I love you! (In an "I'm old enough to be your mother and very proud of you " way) I suspect that the biggest issue most of the wedding party & guests had with your toast is that champagne HURTS when it comes out your nose and I am certain that her bridesmaids wanted to give you a standing ovation but nobody could bring themselves to be the first to applaud because if she treated you like that, it's a sure thing that she was worse to them. Give your friend

    Font - 1 Award ESH: Bride and her mom for obvious reasons. Groom for not standing up for you, snapping at you, and for his remark about putting up with her nonsense for the rest of his life. You for making a scene at the wedding. "We've been best friends for years, I love you like a brother. I'll always be here for you, come what may. I am overwhelmed with your devotion to your wife, and your dedication to making her happy. To the bride and groom!" (raise glass) That's it. That's all you had to

Super no But the more I think on it the more l'll say.... NTA. You probably could have had more tact and just walk away but they never gave you a reason to JUST walk away. G Reply 966 3 ..

    Font - 1 Award ESH YTA because you aired your dirty laundry in public. That is completely tactless. You should have simply refused to do a public toast. Don't say anything at all if you can't say anything nice and whatnot. Bridezilla sucks for obvious reasons. Groom also sucks for not putting a stop to bridezilla antics. G Reply 4 2.6k 3 ...
