Bride's Maid Of Honor Ruined Her Wedding With A Drunken Speech About Her Sex Life

There are a lot of ways to have your wedding ruined.  Your prospective spouse could be caught hooking up with your uncle on the day of your wedding, for instance.  Or you could catch your bride making out with her maid of honor on the dance floor after exchanging your I dos.

Both situations, depending on your perspective, are less than ideal.  But cheating isn't the only way your big day can go south.  With alcohol flowing during most receptions, there's always the opportunity for someone to have a little too much fun and take things too far.

When the maid of honor is the one who does the excessive drinking before delivering a speech that includes details about the bride's sex life, the wedding isn't all that has the potential to be ruined.  That's enough to test any friendship.

The bride was embarrassed that her new husband and his family heard all about her past love life and sexual adventures.  Her husband wants her to stop being friends with the maid of honor.

"I've known my maid of honor since we were kids and even though we're total opposites, we've also been really close," she explained.  "So when it came to choosing a maid of honor, she was my first choice despite my husband voicing some concern over her drunken antics."

The husband's instincts shouldn't have been ignored.  But then again, if they weren't, we wouldn't be here right now.  The bride trusted her maid of honor to not embarrass her in front of her in-laws and ignored her husband.

"She promised that she'd keep things 'PG' ahead of the day and reassured me that she was going to 'lean into the emotion rather than the humor' for her speech," the bride continued.

That couldn't have been further from what actually took place.  The maid of honor didn't even wait for the bride to walk down the aisle before she started drinking.  She did so much pregaming that another bridesmaid had to take care of her after the ceremony.

This Would Seem Like Grounds To End A Friendship, But Not So Fast

If it had ended there, everyone would have gone home annoyed, but they would have avoided a potentially friendship-ending speech.  When it came time for her turn with the microphone, she was beyond tipsy and delivered an embarrassing speech.

"She then proceeded to recap all of my most mortifying sexual encounters, telling my family, friends, and in-laws about some of my most awkward dating moments, including the time I lost my virginity, and a date that ended in disaster when I threw up after eating some bad shrimp," the bride revealed.

"I was close to tears by the time my husband stood up and pried the microphone out of her hands.  I asked one of my friends to take care of her for the rest of the evening and did my best to steer clear of her until after the weekend had wrapped up."

In a truly shocking turn of events, the bride is still open to remaining friends with the maid of honor.  She isn't ready to forgive her childhood friend just yet, but believes she "will be able to move past this and get our friendship back on track."

Her husband, on the other hand, isn't as forgiving.  He's not as open to the idea of the friendship continuing.  He's on the right track in my opinion, but his wife is the one at fault here.

Everyone has that one friend who cannot, under any circumstances, be trusted with important tasks.  This maid of honor is obviously that friend.
