A strong maid of honor speech does more than fill time — celebrate the bride as a whole person, show your friendship through one vivid memory, and welcome the person she married.
How to open: Start with the first moment you can picture her clearly, even if it is small, and let it introduce both of you.
How to close: Say one true sentence to her, one to her partner, and raise the glass.
Recommended length: 3–5 minutes (roughly 400–650 spoken words). Write for the couple, their parents and grandparents, and friends from different chapters of her life who will not all get the same references. Check your word count against the clock.
