Wedding speeches are one of the easiest public speaking forums. Remember, most everyone attending a wedding is in good spirits. Keeping this in mind, its easier to deliver a relaxed meaningful message. Your speech can follow a very simple outline as I will discuss in the following paragraph.
The first part of your speech will be the greeting to the audience or a simple welcome. You can introduce yourself and the relationship you have to which individual you are representing in the wedding. This opening can be as basic as saying "I am your name, and welcome you to this joining of". You get the idea. After your opening, quickly move on to catching the audiences attention by giving comments that are neutral but positive in nature about the bride and groom. You can recognize there strong bond or how fortunate they were to meet each other.Now is a good time to throw in something humorous, but again do not say something that could offend either the bride or groom.Especially do not bring up past relationships either has had. Make these statements short and in good taste. Next you will want to move onto something touching from the heart. This is the hardest part but if practiced before hand, it will be moving to the audience. You will have to come up with this on your own because you know the bride and groom more intimately. The final part of your speech will be the closing statements to both bride and groom about their future. A positive, sincere good luck and include the audience for a toast to close your speech.

Wedding speeches are a very interesting experience. Some thought beforehand is always a good idea.
Liked the post.
Once you have a concrete outline in place, find out the key elements that you want to highlight. Then, expand on those elements. This will help your words flow better overall.
