So I need some help on reception speeches. As I've mentioned before, my FH and I are doing a courthouse ceremony (immediate family only) on a weekday and then a reception on the weekend so these speeches are really the equivalent to the "ceremony" for these people. My FH is one of those people with a million "best friends" so he is having his oldest friend and closest friend since college give brief speeches. He also wants to give a short welcome speech and proclamation to me since no one there saw our vows.Here's my problem, I don't really have anyone I think complements his speech givers. My faux MOH (no bridal party) is my closest friend but has only known me a few years. I will have some old friends there but they don't know my FH enough to really give a speech in my opinion. Another very good friend offered to do one but again she's also only known me a few years. The other thing is neither of my potential speakers are as poised and comfortable with speeches as FH's. I worry they will end up feeling awkward and nervous when they're up there. What would you all do? Should I just not have my own "side" give speeches? Should I let my friends do it even though they are newer friends only?This part of the reception is extremely important to my FH so scrapping speeches all together or making him have less is a no-go. I also wouldn't want to do that to him. via /r/weddingplanning http://ift.tt/2we1WcU
