It's easily the most boring part of the reception but depending on who's talking it can't be funny or awful.
A good speech is a couple of jokes, love you both, thanks for coming all, toast
A bad one is done by someone who loves just attention, bit of 'look at me time', terrible long-winded story 80% of the guests weren't there for and don't follow, no laughs, and finally a sigh of relief from everyone when they're finally done!
Sadly most of the weddings I've been to had the latter. Don't get me started on ones that do speeches twice for both families' languages.
Same as speeches at any party, i remember some of the speeches made by the women at their 18th and 21st birthdays (and their friends) - most boring speeches ever, not funny, talking s**t and go for about an hour.....we arent here for you, get up tell us a funny one about the birthday girl and get off. We shouldnt need more than one beer to get through your boring speeches
