I have done 3 speechs so far (I am only 24) and have a couple still saved here. If you PM me your email I could email them for you. THey have always gone over pretty good.

You must have given my best man some advice cause he used a variation of this one
"they say the best man's speech should be as long as the wedding night so thank you and have a good night"
He also went on to say:
" In a way I always felt more like your mother then your best friend. I've seen you crawl, helped you walk, picked you up when you have fallen, etc."
Marrying a saskatchewan girl everyone got the jokes and had a good laugh. Of course if it would have been a fairly religious group it probably would not have gone over to well
My advice, know your audience. You obviously will have met the Grooms family and know what they are like and you will probably, if not have already, met the bride to be family. Get a gauge on what they are like and what you think you can get away with. If it has you hmmming and hahing then chances are you shouldn't say it
