Weddingspeeches are a common tradition and an essential part of the reception.
However, thisbrides sisterused such a precious moment to make it all about herself.
If you talk about it, always give a short backstory to any tale you tell.
For this, Ford recommends keeping the speech PG-13.
Rule of thumb: if it would make your grandmother blush, its out!
Think of it like a dinner party, so no sex, religion, or politics either!
The final piece of advice from Ford for speakers would be to not get too drunk.
Nobody likes a sloshed speaker who ends up embarrassing the happy couple and yourself, he says.
Ford also suggests offering support.
A reassuring smile or a gentle clap can go a long way.
Show your support for the speaker; its about the effort, not the execution.
Speak to whoever may have been upset or offended.
He further mentions that its a good idea to ask what the speaker is going to say in advance.
You might be able to cut them off in their tracks before they get going.
Also, be very clear with them what are 100% no-goes!
