Bad Wedding Speeches

The idea of the traditional wedding speech or wedding toast is to offer congratulations and well wishes to the bride and groom.

However, sometimes the person making the wedding toast gets a bit "toasted" themselves, fueled by alcohol, nervousness or even resentment of one of the parties saying "I do." The results can be embarrassing.

Here are some examples of really bad, thoughtless and tasteless wedding speeches. These have been gathered from various sources around the Internet.

'Finally (groom's name) has found someone with low enough self-esteem to marry him.'"

Best man: "I just want you to know (groom's name) that I'll be there for you at your next wedding when this one doesn't work out."

"Congratulations to the new parents!' (hardly anyone knew the bride was pregnant, including her parents). 

Best man: (Groom's name) is quite a cheapskate you know. We've been friends all our lives but this is the first free meal he's ever offered me."

Bridesmaid to her younger sister: "I never liked your new husband throughout high school and that today he's still at a level of slightly below the scum on the bottom of a dirty waste pond."

During the toast the groom's father, after several rounds of drinks, said that he was so happy for his son and his beautiful wife Sara. But the bride's name wasn't Sara. Sara was the groom's ex-girlfriend.
