Bridesmaid "horrifies" viewers with "cringe" wedding speech
A "horrifying" wedding speech has gone viral online, as a bridesmaid delivered an "awkward" toast to her friend and her new husband.
The video, which was originally posted on TikTok, has racked up hundreds of thousands of views, shows a bridesmaid named Shannon standing in front of the congregation to toast the newlyweds.
In what should have been an emotional, wholesome speech, it instead got off to a bad start when she appeared to forget how long she's known the bride for.
“Hi, I’m Shannon, I’ve known Tracy for...oh god...” she started, before a voice off-camera suggests it’s been nine years.
“I don’t quite know Anthony that well,” the woman continued, alluding to the groom.
“But Tracy talks about you non-stop. She’d be like ‘Oh, Anthony this, Anthony that’, and I’m like, ‘I don’t care’.”
Shannon's fake eye-roll didn't get a laugh from the crowd, as she insisted, "Just kidding!"
She continued, “You guys are so cute together.”
After telling the groom he’d “better take care of my girl”, Shannon turned to the crowd and said, “I’m not gonna be racist, guys, I’m just saying.”
“You guys are outstepping the stereotype and I love it."
“You guys, I swear, I love Black people. You guys. Are. The. Best.”
Shannon went on to say, “My own daughter’s great-aunt is like, the best woman” before concluding, “You guys are amazing, I love you.”
As the video made the rounds online, viewers couldn't believe what they were watching.
“What…the hell…did I just watch?” one person asked.
“I actually gasped out loud! What in the actual hell??” another weighed in.
“Wtaf?! I thought you were just sharing a cringy public speaking clip and that was bad enough, but...then...it took a turn,” another wrote.
