If we're being completely honest, letting someone make a toast during a wedding, after everyone had a few drinks and is not in their best state of mind, is a terrible idea. Even if they rehearsed that speech countless times, there is always room for disaster when drinks are involved. Come to think of it, even without the drinking, weddings are quite a dramatic event, and adding speeches to them can only entice some of that drama even more, so why are those wedding toasts still a thing in modern weddings?

Perhaps the reason is for people to have hysterical stories to share about the wedding toasts they had the pleasure of hearing, much like what everyone shared in this Reddit thread. In this AskReddit, Redditors were asked to share – 'What's the worst thing you've heard someone say while they were giving a wedding toast?', and the answers were filled with so much comedy and drama, that we had to share them.

Scroll down to read the stories people shared. After that, click here for a funny collection of Friends memes.

    theITguy 14 hr. ago It was me. I was the best man at my brother's wedding. I said, "Here's to hoping this straightens him out!" - Spoiler: It didn't.

    • jgilbs 18 hr. ago Father of the bride toasting his daughter (he has 2 other daughters as well): "You know, she may not be the smartest or prettiest in the family, but let me tell you, she has a good heart!" Like what the was he thinking? Everyone collectively cringed.

    permanentlytired. . 17 hr. ago My friend's father (father of the bride) just listed off everything he didn't like about the groom in his speech at her wedding. So something like "well you're not a doctor, you don't have all of your hair, and you're not the smartest man she's dated. But welcome to the family I guess."

    Suuuuuuper awkward. The grooms family took the opposite direction and gushed about how much they loved my friend. Made the father look even worse in comparison.

    • TheNightWitch · 12 hr. ago D k maid of (dis) honor disclosed that she'd hat-tricked the bride - slept with new husband (before he and bride started dating but still, and bride was unaware), bride's brother, and bride's dad. She started out great but was too d. k to read her prepared notes and decided to wing it instead.

    That first dance after dinner was pretty awkward, as bride's parents were very much married, and during it everyone in the room silently did the math on her conquests based on pertinent details and realized she wasn't 18 for any of the 3 encounters.

    I was at a table of people who all kinda disliked the bride and even we all felt awful for her, it was so bad. Wedding cost more than my current house, and was held at a yacht club that revoked the family's membership on a morality clause the following day.

    Cakelord 17 hr. ago The bride and groom had been friends for a year and part of the same social circle. Group was supposed to go to a concert but due to circumstances, only the bride and groom showed up, got dank, ha bed up and the rest is history.

    One of the groomsmen told the story about how if he hadn't gotten d❤k the night before he would have went to the concert and she would be marrying him instead. It might have sounded better in his mind but it came off as selfish and jealous.

    • ItsEntsy 17 hr. ago At my wedding my lifelong friend, whom with I had a completely platonic and non romantic relationship with, got up and gave a very d nk, very love professing speech to me in front of a large room full of people she had never met.

    She cried and said that the day was such a sad day because she had to let go of the one she was meant to spend her future with. Maybe not the absolute worst thing anyone has ever said in a wedding speech, but definitely the worst for

    DJustice23 18 hr. ago edited 15 hr. ago My friend went to an out-of-town wedding where he basically only knew the groom and the girl he brought as a date. He for some reason felt compelled to do an interpretative dance instead of a speech. No one laughed and it was dod silent confusion

    • PoogeMuffin 18 hr. ago My best man said something along the lines of "OP and I have so many memories together, but I realized that absolutely none of them would be appropriate for me to share tonight with all of you." Had me going in the first half, but he pulled it off and got a huge laugh. I was very relieved lol

    occasionallystabby. 17 hr. ago The best man at my wedding gave a toast that was longer than our ceremony. He wore a costume. He talked more about their teachers from high school than he did about us. He brought in a guitar player that he hired to play two parody songs that he wrote that were literally just rehashing what he had already said. We actually had to cut him off so we could serve the meal.
