Speech 1
“Welcome family and friends! For those of you who do not know me, my name is Ally and I have the immense honor of being Kristin’s best friend and Maid of Honor.
First, I’d like to take a moment to thank everyone who has come here today to celebrate this amazing couple, Kristin and James. Your love and support have played a huge role in their journey and it means the world to them that you are here to share this special day.
Now, I have to say a few words about the beautiful bride standing beside me. Kristin, you are a gem of a person. Your kindness, generosity, and caring nature are only a few of the many reasons I feel so fortunate to call you my best friend. Today, you radiate love and happiness and it’s truly an honor to stand by your side.
Kristin and I have known each other since we were kids, and through the years, we’ve shared so many wonderful memories. When we were in middle school we made a pact that we’d be each other’s Maid of Honor when the day came. Well, Kristin, it’s an absolute privilege to be able to keep that promise today.
James, you are one lucky man to be marrying Kristin but I must say that we are all equally lucky to be welcoming you into our lives. You have a heart of gold and a wonderful sense of humor that perfectly complements Kristin’s vibrant spirit.
Together, Kristin and James make a phenomenal couple. They are proof that when two people are truly meant for each other, they bring out the best in one another. Their love is inspiring, and their commitment is unwavering.

Speech 2
“Hello everyone! I’m Megan, the Maid of Honor and Leila’s best friend. It’s truly an honor to be here today, celebrating the love between Leila and Brandon.
I want to start by expressing our gratitude to all of you for joining us in this celebration. Your presence here means the world to the happy couple, and it’s a testament to the love and support that surrounds them.
Now, I’d like to take a moment to talk about the beautiful bride, Leila. She is one of the most genuine, compassionate, and vibrant people I know. Her presence lights up any room, and I consider myself incredibly fortunate to call her my best friend. Seriously…look at this gorgeous bride!
Leila and I have known each other since we were six and we’ve built a friendship filled with love and laughter. One of my favorite memories is when we were teenagers. My parents were out of town and Leila and I decided to have a tie-dye party. We started with a few shirts. Then when we were out of shirts, we moved on to pants. We were addicted and obsessed with tie dye. We couldn’t stop ourselves. By the end of the weekend, we only owned tie-dye outfits (pants, shorts, shirts, socks, and underwear!). What were we thinking!?
As for Brandon, I can’t imagine a better partner for Leila. Your kindness, sense of humor, and unwavering support make you a perfect match for her. I am so happy that you came into her life. Oh, but I hope you like tie-dye!
Together, Leila and Brandon are the essence of true love. Their connection is deep and genuine, and it’s evident to everyone who knows them that they were meant to be.
Let’s raise our glasses to the newlyweds! Here’s to a lifetime of love, laughter, and countless adventures. Cheers to Leila and Brandon!
What To Say To Sister’s New Husband In MOH Speech
We asked some of the members of our group what they were having the most trouble with when it came to writing their Maid of Honor speech and the most common issue was figuring out what to say about the groom.
Don’t worry! We’ve got ya covered!
Here are a few examples of how to address your new brother-in-law in your speech:
“Losing (bride’s name) was not something I was willing to give up easily, but after spending some time with (groom’s name), I realized one very important thing: I was not losing my sister, I was simply gaining a brother that I never had.”
“(Groom’s name), I want to take a moment to express how thrilled we are to welcome you into our family. Your genuine warmth, caring nature, and the love you share with my sister have touched our hearts. It’s beyond obvious how much happiness you bring to her life, and for that we are truly grateful. As we celebrate this special day, we look forward to the many adventures and memories that await you both as a couple. Thank you for being the amazing person you are, and for completing our family.”
“To my new brother-in-law (groom’s name)! Your love and dedication to my sister have won our hearts, and your ability to embrace our unique brand of craziness proves you’re a perfect fit. We’re not sure if you fully know what you’ve gotten yourself into, but trust me, there’s never a dull moment with us! Welcome to our wonderfully chaotic family!”
“At first I was a little nervous about (bride’s name) getting into a serious relationship, fearing I might lose the sister I’d known my whole life. But the more I got to know (groom’s name), I realized that he was not only a perfect match for my sister, he was also a wonderful friend and addition to our family.”

“Ladies and gentlemen…family and friends…thank you all for joining us today to celebrate the love and union of Tracy and Marcus. I’d like to extend a warm welcome to each and every one of you as we gather to share in their special day.
For those of you who may not know me…my name is Kelly…and I am truly honored to stand here as the Matron of Honor for my little sister, Tracy. It’s a privilege to be part of this beautiful moment in her life, and I couldn’t be more excited for both her and Marcus.
I’d like to take a moment to express our deepest gratitude to our parents, and to Marcus’s parents…for all their love, support, and hard work in making this wedding such an incredible event. It truly wouldn’t have been possible without your dedication and devotion to ensuring every detail was perfect.
Now, I can’t help but gush over my gorgeous sister Tracy. I’ve had the pleasure of watching her grow from a wide-eyed little girl, into the stunning and accomplished woman she is today. She has always had a heart of gold, full of warmth and kindness, and today she absolutely radiates with beauty and happiness.
Marcus, from the moment you entered Tracy’s life, it was apparent that something extraordinary had begun. I can’t tell you how grateful I am that you’ve come into her world. Your love, support, and genuine care for her have been apparent from the very start. You truly bring out the best in each other, and we couldn’t have asked for a better partner for our beloved Tracy.
Together…Tracy and Marcus make the perfect couple. Their love story is one that is filled with laughter, affection, and a strong bond that has only grown stronger over time. It’s evident that they were destined to be together, and it brings me immense joy to see them so happy.
Watching their relationship flourish has been a remarkable experience, and I have no doubt that they will continue to support and cherish one another throughout their lives. As they embark on this new journey together, I am confident that their love will only continue to deepen and grow.
So…without further ado…I invite you all to raise your glasses in a toast to the happy couple. To Tracy and Marcus, may your love continue to thrive, and may your marriage be filled with joy, laughter, and a lifetime of unforgettable memories. Here’s to a lifetime of happiness and love! Cheers!”
