Best advice I can give is keep it short. Nothing worse than a meandering wedding speech full of inside jokes that no one but the groom understands.
I was at a wedding once where the best man drew out this painfully long story where at the end, the groom called a bird they had seen camping a "gray jay". All his buddies have apparently mocked him for years because the bird was
actually a whiskey jack and it's funny that he must have thought it was like a blue jay, but gray and that's why he called it a gray jay and sometimes they call him gray jay now years later and they always laugh about it and say how dumb he was for calling a gray jay because it was actually a whiskey jack and man, do you even bird-watch bro, and let's all raise a glass and here's to you gray jay, you dumb son of a bitch, congrats!
And then the guy sitting next to me leans over and says "a gray jay is another name for a whiskey jack..." lol
It was the worst story I had ever heard until the next guy's speech.
