I have 1 week to come up with speech ideas and I got some great advice reading it.
My main concern is that the Groom wishes it to be funny, but not that I absolutely roast him either. Also, I'm actually best friends with the bride, and having known her longer than the groom (although we are still great friends), I way more stories about the bride.
Any additional advice would be welcome

It went really good, I gave some history on our friendship and on the bride and grooms first encounters. Then told a quick blurb on three embarassing things that happened to us growing up. One about some dumb thing we did together, another involving our first apartment together and the last involving something a bit more current that happened with his parents. Then just tied them all together with how his wife would (can't remember wording) help him mature or something. Managed not to get too sauced before the speech and even got a few laughs. Afterwards I even had a few people tell me it was a good speech, so all in all it went good.
