Delivering the perfect wedding toast is far from an easy task. But ruining it? That can be done in a heartbeat. The booze and fear of public speaking make sure of it.
But what takes the experience to the highest stress levels is the fact that nobody forgets a bad wedding speech. To prove you this universal truth, we at Bored Panda put together the cringiest and worst things people have told brides and grooms on their big day.
From a best man talking about losing his virginity to a priest who thinks he's at a funeral, here's a collection of stories you wouldn't like to see reenacted at your own ceremony.

When my cousin got married, most of the close family knew that the groom had been caught cheating multiple times in the past, but the majority of the people attending did not. During a small speech discussing the marriage counseling he had done with the couple, the priest went on a long rant about the groom's past infidelity and how he was confident it would not happen again. Given how few people in the church knew about the issues, it became very tense.

Went to my uncle's wedding a while back. His bride had been divorced and chose her family pastor to officiate. The pastor called my uncle her ex-husband's name during the vows multiple times... My family was not happy.

I went to a wedding where neither family was happy about it. The groom's best man was his younger brother. The best man's toast to the bride was, 'We always thought groom would marry XX (points to woman at the back), but here we are, so bride, welcome to the family'... ...Both the groom and XX were former housemates of mine, and had been in a long relationship. I kinda thought they'd end up together too. Bride and groom moved in with her parents. Groom stopped talking to his friends. XX married someone else, left the country. I haven't heard from either of them even once this century.
