2. Thank everyone who played a role in the wedding.
3. Thank whoever paid for it if it wasn't you.
4. "...and of course my beautiful wife"
5. Tell a short anecdote about how you met, or the first time you knew you would marry her etc. It can be funny but only at your expense.
6. Hand over fairly promptly. Father of the bride and best man speeches are the long ones and you don't want everyone to get restless, especially if there are kids there.
7. Toast and sit down.
