    Background: It has become a tradition in our family to ask a close family member to officiate your wedding. My older cousin crushed it for his niece and then his daughter asked me to officiate hers. I did a good enough job that I got asked again by a different cousin to officiate his wedding. I

    like to start my writing process by interviewing the bride and groom and their closest friends to find out more about them and to put fun personal stories in their wedding. At the bridal shower a few months before the wedding I was introduced to the MOH

    and asked her if I could have some time later and talk with her. Her response was red flag number one. "I don't know why she asked me to be her MOH. I really don't have any cute stories, we just party together a lot."

    Through some coaxing she finally shared a few things but the stories were mostly about herself (#2). She told me she was keeping the best things for her MOH speech. Okay that's fine, I totally get that.

    Fast forward to the wedding: everything was great, the wedding speech was knocked out of the park. Drinks were flowing, (more on this later) everyone was having a great time. The parents gave really sweet sentimental speeches, the best man killed it, he was equal

    parts funny and complementary to the bride. and groom. Then MOHZilla was handed the mic. She was unprepared, I am not sure if she even wrote anything. Almost 10 minutes of uh..., well..., yeah..., just utter self centered nonsense. Within the first 30 seconds she said I am not sure why the bride asked me to be her maid of honor. Most of her stories

    were either about herself or painted the bride in a negative light as a drunk bimbo party girl. It was so cringe everyone kept looking at each other with dropped jaws, like did she really just say that. The bride had a good buzz going but her MOH killed that

    because she was starting to cry during the speech. The best man to his credit tried to get her to stop, but she wouldn't. In the end one of the parents of the Bride and Groom got the DJ to cut her mic.

    She was pretty drunk so maybe she lost her speech, or spilled a drink on it who knows. I would like to give her the benefit of the doubt but talking with my cousin later he said that's pretty much par for the course with her. His wife and MOH got in to a huge

    Catsdrinkingbeer . 1d ago My husband and I met at a brewery. We both drink plenty. But on our wedding day we kept drinking to a minimum until after all the speeches were done. We knew we'd be giving a thank you speech to our guests and wanted to be fairly sober and coherent for it. I can't imagine getting drunk before your MOH speech. I get people get caught up in the festivities, but it shouldn't be that hard to stay mildly sober until after your major task is finished.

    Paganduck 1d ago I attended a fantastic wedding that ground to a halt by a very similar drunk MOH speech. Lots of um, like, yeah and uhs. Saying she introduced the couple, then saying they had already met, rambling on about guys the bride dated... All very weird and uncomfortable. You could see the bride was ready to strangle her.

    NewAppointment2 • 2d ago I can't believe she went Into a drunken ramble and called the bride a drunk bimbo party girl. Holy Moley! Mohzilla is really all about taking center stage at someone else's wedding. Embarrassing.

    csudebate • 1d ago I begged my best man for months to write an actual speech and not try to wing it. He promised he would but clearly didn't. Rambling speech full of inside jokes that only I would recognize. It was a train wreck.

    . Top-Art2163 1d ago I read in here about a guy dj'ing weddings and he just cut of the mike if speeches turned ugly and put on music. Not waiting 10 minutes. Thats pretty cool.
