How to: Give a wedding speech

By Ronnie Gill, Newsday, Source: MCT News Service

Has someone tapped you to give a speech at a wedding? Whether you're the best man, the father of the bride or the groom, there's a website that'll help.

1 Go to chargeyourglasses.com. To have access to the complete site, at some point you will be requested to register (it's free and you can use the site without registering until the prompt appears).

2 Click on the type of speech, then select the part of the speech you need help with. For each part you'll find a sublist of possibilities that you can use or tailor. There are comments on everything from friendship and the happy couple to the toast.

3 Click on "Tell Me How to Give a Perfect Speech" for pointers (e.g., for the best man, "You are expected to be funny, and perhaps even a little rude, but don't get too carried away"), as well as advice on presenting your speech effectively.
