Gearing up for an upcoming wedding where you have the role as the wedding toast maker? It may be good to do your homework and check out some of the legendary speeches that people have laughed to, cried to, and even cringed at while watching a movie. Whether it’s to learn what to do or what not to do, watching movie wedding speeches is a great way to pregame for your shinning moment. Here are the top 5 wedding movie toasts you just have to watch.
1. Bridesmaids
There’s quite the laughable ongoing battle between the maid of honor and a bridesmaid during the wedding toast given at the engagement party. It’s clear both want to showcase how much the bride means to them and how amazing their friendship is with one another, but it becomes a competition between members of the bridal party and the focus of the bride is lost. This is one of those speeches that teaches you what not to do, especially when you’re giving a co-maid of honor speech.
2. Wedding Crashers
While the movie, in general, is an epic adventure of two guys who crash weddings to pick up chicks, the speech given by Rachel McAdam’s character is actually quite moving and emotionally perfect. She says an unforgettable quote that many have used in their wedding toasts since, “True love is the soul’s recognizing of its counterpoint in another.”
3. Four Weddings and a Funeral
One of the most endearing and beautiful lines from any movie wedding toast comes from this movie when Hugh Grant says, “”I am as ever in bewildered awe of anyone who makes this kind of commitment that Angus and Laure have made today. I know I couldn’t do it and I think it’s wonderful they can.”
4. 5 Year Engagement
This movie can be relatable to those with super long engagements and a wedding that feels like it’s never going to actually happen. But the wedding toast in this movie uses a dose of humor that gets the audience laughing, a technique that all good wedding toasts should try to tackle. Here’s a fun line from the wedding toast: “This is supposed to be exciting. It’s your wedding — you only get a few of these!”
5. The Hangover…Two
In Hangover Two, Alan (a friend of the groom) gives quite the awkward speech that makes the audience cringe and seems like it doesn’t have much of a focus or a point. It’s a great laugh at what not to do in your wedding toast, ever.
