The privilege (and the pressure) that comes along with being asked to be the maid/matron of honor or the best man at a wedding is immense. You've got parties to plan, rings to keep track of, and most importantly, speeches to make that will hopefully inspire love in a roomful of friends and family.
So, when that speech lands with the crowd in a less-than-desirable way, it can be difficult for the anxious bride and/or groom. Whether it's nerves, too many tequila shots, or just plain poor planning, it's something to which many of us can relate.
Now, there are times when no amount of nerves or alcohol can account for a speech so terrible. But if there is a silver lining, it's likely that it gave the entire wedding party and guests something to bond over.
Many Redditors shared their cringe-inducing but very funny maid of honor experiences, and they absolutely do not disappoint.
I'm sick of the bride
bridesmaids really bitch GIFGiphy
One person posted a thread titled, "Maid of Honor speech gave me physical cringe." They describe a woman who seemed to have issues with not being the center of attention in her family. She was quite vocal about how she truly felt about her sister—the bride.
"Honestly, we’ve heard enough about my sister for one day. I’m a little sick of it.”
She then outed her sister's pregnancy, which, according to the Redditor, no one knew about except the bride and groom. "I can’t wait to meet the little one." Gasp.
Understandably, the comment section was active. Many even wondered why family members are often automatically put in the wedding party. One shared, "This is why I'm a firm believer that siblings/family do not get an automatic spot in the bridal party. Of course, thankfully, this tradition is dying down, and most siblings in the bridal party were chosen to be there."
In another Reddit thread entitled, "The worst speeches I've ever heard" on the subreddit "Wedding Shaming," people share their brilliantly awkward speech horror stories.

One user shares this strange gem: "At the last wedding I went to, the Maid of Honor very, very obviously loved the bride as more than a friend. The words 'love story for the ages' were used. She also mentioned how it would be them in a different lifetime. She openly wept at the idea of her husband having her for the rest of their lives without the Maid of Honor. It was awkward."

Another user shared, "My sister made a horrible speech at my other sister's wedding. The groom's brother made his speech first. It was exactly what you would want—warm, funny, talked about their childhood, how they grew into adults, and the like. My sister was next, and right off the bat, she made an unfunny joke insulting the groom. She insulted the groom a few more times, insulted me, and extremely overplayed her relationship with our sister."
E-Bay or E-Harmony?

It's not always the Maid of Honor. Sometimes, it's the officiant. Someone commented, "How about this one: The couple has been married before, both divorced, and she has one son. The wedding official at city hall said in his speech, 'You have told me you two found each other on E-Bay. Well, that figures, because that's where you find used stuff, right?—Oooh, it was a dating site! My bad!'"

Say hello to my little friend...literally.
TikTok shocked by 15-year-old unhinged viral clip of kids performing Scarface in school play
Think about the most outrageous film that could be adapted to the stage. Now, imagine the cast of that theatrical production is entirely children, ranging in age from 7 to 10. Now, film it and let the world react.
That’s what director Marc Klasfeld had in mind when he held auditions with professional child actors for a shocking video, meant to look like an elementary school production of the cult film-favorite Scarface. In a now 15-year-old interview with Entertainment Weekly, when asked why he thought this was a good idea, Klasfeld admits, "I thought this would be a nice fit into the kind of YouTube arena of viral videos. And I was right."
The result? Kids yelling “mother-fudger,” piles of popcorn meant to look like cocaine, and outrageous, lengthy scenes of children pointing Super Soakers at one another.
Marc, mostly known as an accomplished commercial and music video director, later adds, "I enjoy making provocative art. I like stirring debate and causing conversation. You're going to get two sides of the coin no matter what you do. People are going to love and hate everything. People loved and hated Avatar. People loved and hated the Jennifer Aniston movie. And people love and hate this. I guess that's a part of having something that's successful out there. There’s got to be certain people that hate it for people to love it."
Once they got their perfect cast, it didn’t take long to put together. He shares, "It was a one-take, so it was pretty much just choosing the right take. About a month altogether."
People sure did react, as it acquired millions of views and comments from all over the Internet. Some were horrified, some were outraged, and many thought it was the funniest thing they'd ever seen. But Marc emphasizes that the kids in the video were not scandalized. "They’ve heard the f-word. They’ve seen more violence in their everyday lives for as long as they can remember. So for this, they’ve seen worse things than this all the time. So this wasn’t that big of a deal for them."
Enter TikTok. The clip (which just popped up again recently on Facebook) was reposted a few years back, and, once again, the comments continue to run the gamut from indignation to full praise. One TikTok user exclaimed, "Bro, I can’t even remember my grocery list, how the fudge did these kids memorize this whole scene lol?"
Others expressed confusion: "I'm not sure whether to be angry or amazed." Some chose anger: "Just imagine, you know these kids watched the movie to get the characters right. And the parents cheering? Yeah, yeah."
Many commenters believed it was a real school play and commended the production for "keepin' it real": "That school keeps it real. Nowadays, kids know so much about guns and drugs, might as well teach them that bad choices don’t end well."
Yet another enjoyed it but was concerned that the parents of the children would not. "Love the tray full of popcorn. But my God, I would hate to see the hell these parents probably raised."
For the most part, the reviews were glowing. Many complimented the acting, and one claimed they definitely would have "preferred this play over their own school production of Macbeth."
And perhaps the biggest compliment? "Al Pacino will be proud."
