Your best help is to act like a boy scout and be ready. Make use of some extra time just by thinking about your feelings and thoughts before you even begin to put it to writing. Several weeks before the event, you are now set mentally to begin making a rough draft of your thoughts.
Thank both sets of parents for sponsoring the day. Make a statement about the significance of this milestone day in everyone’s lives.Starting couple of weeks before the wedding then that would be a good time to start with the draft. You can start by formalities by doing introductions to yourself and how you are connected to the groom or maybe introducing even the parents You’ll want to observe some conventions right from the beginning by introducing yourself and your relationship to the groom, and also even introducing the parents of the couple or any other distinguished guests. Thanking everyone by being present in the ceremony and seeing the couple off into their new future.
Now to connect the bridge between the formalities and your words, you could come up joke or some funny lines. This will put everyone at ease including you and set the atmosphere to a much comfortable one.
Go on from there with a tale or two about the groom and you. Don’t put his spirits down the poor lad; instead uplift him with good words. If you tell a tale that tramples as his decision making, be sure and save him by relating what he acquired from the incident. Also try to also involve the bride in your discourse by looking back on how they became a twosome and how they got to their decision to wed.
Just before giving the toast, you may want to offer some advice to the happy couple. This may be serious or funny, amusing or thought-provoking. Regardless, express your good wishes for the future, and your confidence in their strength as a couple congratulating the new couple.
