I've done a few weddings as master of ceremonies, so with that role its appropriate to lighten things up, especially after some of the speeches get downright towel and vomit inducing.

I always like to use some kind of quote to start a speech because most people are loaded by that time but they want to look like they're smart for their wives so they nod as if you've told them the secret of life. So I get a laugh out of it because it means nothing.

One of my favorite quotes to use at the start of a speech after you introduce your self is from Bull Durham

A good friend of mine used to say, "This is a very simple game. You throw the ball, you catch the ball, you hit the ball. Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose, sometimes it rains." Think about that for a while.
