But welcome to the family I guess.'
It was suuuuuuper awkward.
The groom’s family took the opposite direction and gushed about how much they loved the bride.
It made the father look even worse in comparison."

“My dad is hilarious and loving, but public speaking isn’t his strong suit.
“Fast forward to my wedding a few months ago.
I jokingly told him he needed to step up his game after my sister’s speech.
I was sure he’d put more effort into mine after all the teasing he got.
Thanks, dad.”

“The bride and groom had been friends for a year and were part of the same social circle.
It might have sounded better in his mind but it came off as selfish and jealous.”

He for some reason felt compelled to do an interpretative dance instead of a speech.
No one laughed and it was dead silent confusion."

“The best man at my wedding gave a toast that was longer than our ceremony.
He wore a costume.
He talked more about their teachers from high school than he did about us.
We actually had to cut him off so we could serve the meal.”

“I went to a wedding where the officiant took the mic right before dinner.
We all thought he was going to say a prayer… nope!
It was a way too long speech confessing how heused to bein love with the bride.
To everyone there, it was clear he was still in love with the bride.”

One of the groomsmen interrupted to say ‘he still works there.'”

My BEST FRIEND the bride has never been an intellectual or a go-getter.
I never thought they would marry, but here we are and I’m glad I was wrong.’
This was a 10-minute slog of cringe and NO ONE clapped.”
