They say most people fear\u00a0public speaking more than death itself and, in the case of some of these truly awkward, sometimes inappropriate \u00a0– and very real-life – wedding speeches and toasts,\u00a0we can believe it!<\/p>\n
From reddit user heretik<\/a>: My uncle (after about a pint of whiskey) gave a wonderful speech at his son’s (my cousin’s) wedding and when the time came to propose the toast, he wished (groom’s name) and (groom’s ex-fiance who had recently died) a long and happy life together.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Predictably, best men are responsible for more than a few disastrous wedding speeches.<\/p>\n
One bride tells the mortifying tale of how her husband’s best man gave a wedding speech that consisted of 10 straight minutes of talking about how the groom was a notorious playboy who always “had a few ‘friends’ on the side” – and how the bride must have been “pretty awesome in bed” to have kept him on the straight and narrow for so long. The bride’s parents and grandparent’s were seated directly in front of the bridal table.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
