The best advice for giving a wedding speech is to go with the basics. A speech is like a story. There should be a beginning, middle and an end. A good beginning is to introduce yourself. No matter how close you are to the bride and groom there will be people there that do not know who you are. Such as distant aunts and uncles and friends. After you introduce yourself start your wedding speech off with a compliment to the bride and groom on their ceremony.

The middle of the wedding speech should have a short anecdote about the bride and groom. Make it personal. Was there something unusual about the way they met? Was it love at first sight? Were they high school sweet hearts?

If you are comfortable with humor you could also tell a short humorous story about the couple. Try to make it sound affectionate and warm hearted. Don't try to make the funny anecdote sound sarcastic. Sarcasm will go over a lot of people's heads especially if they don't know you that well.

A good way to end a wedding speech is with an uplifting quotation. Quotations are always apt and you can find a good one either on the net or in your local book store or library. After you finish your speech it is appropriate to toast the bride and groom. If you can't think of an appropriate toast to say, a simple "Cheers to the bride and groom" is fitting.

Giving a speech can be nerve wracking. It is always best to write your speech a good while in advance and to practice it. This will help you with your confidence. Under no circumstances, no matter how nervous you are, should you be drunk while delivering your wedding speech.

Before you give your speech make sure that your throat is clear. If there is no microphone you will have to speak loudly so your voice will carry and everybody will be able to hear you. And remember to smile.
