Matron of Honor speech???

[ValensMomma]

Hi Ladies...quick question. My best friend is getting married tomorrow and I'm her Matron of Honor....am I supposed to make a speech or something??? I've only been a bridesmaid before and have never had to say a speech.  So is it necessary??? Or is it only the Best Man that has to? Let me know please!!! I really don't want to...I'm a very very shy person.

Thanks,

Stephanie

I personally have never been to a wedding where the MOH gives a speech but I dont see why you cant if you want to. I know you say your shy so you probably dont want to, but it would be a nice jester to your BFF.

Its traditional for the maid of honor to give a speech when the best man gives his speech.. so I suppose that would go for a matron of honor as well.  Good Luck!

..You might want to ask the bride what she has planned for you..

I would just have a few words prepared just in case.

My Matron of Honor gave a speech at my wedding, but it was her choice.
