It's a special privilege to be asked to make a wedding toast or speech. Usually, the Best Man, the Maid of Honor, Father of the Bride, and the Groom (occasionally the Bride too) will be the ones standing up to give a toast or speech... and that can be a scary experience!

Do you know what you should say? Do you know what you should NOT say? Are you afraid you'll end up embarrassing yourself... or worse yet, the bride and/or groom? That could very easily happen! Below are a few ideas on how not to embarrass yourself:
