How long should wedding speeches be?
My brother gave a best man speech this past weekend and I was quite surprised at how long he talked for. I think I made him feel bad when I questioned his speech time, so I'm wondering what other people think of as the norm. And at what point do you consider too long?

Yeah, I agree with 5 minutes. 10 tops.
His was 15 minutes!
Agreed.
15 minutes is very long, especially when you consider there are usually at least 1-2 more people that also want/need to speak (MOH, parent(s)). This is why when I DOC'ed weddings I never scheduled the start of speeches until at least the salad course was out. You just never know how long someone is going to go on and I refuse to have people sitting there starving if I could help it.
I once had a groom who would just not shut up. He probably talked for a good 20 minutes. It was awful.
