Wedding Tomorrow - Need Speech - Uh oh

So I need to say a few words at my sisters wedding tomorrow.

Myself and my brother are going up at the same time.

I'm going to introduce myself and my brother, compliment bride/groom, the bridesmaids/groomsmen.....

After that i'm clueless. I'm thinking about just having a toast or something.


Man I have no idea.....

Any thoughts?


(ps: pretty sure I went through this last year, and yes, I goggle'd already lol)

Steve, do this...I saw this done at the last wedding I went to and it was quite funny...

Try not to let on that you're setting up a joke...pre-empt it with some seriousness about how great your sister looks or whatever, and then say to the groom that you'd like them to do something very significant to mark this special occasion...
Get them to stand up and tell your sister to hold her hand out in front of her and look deeply into her grooms eyes...
Then get him to do the same but to put his hand ON TOP of hers...(the looking deeply into each other's eyes is IMPORTANT!)
Then let them hold that position for a second and say to the groom "<name>, please cherish this moment for ever and ever, as this will be the LAST time you EVER have the upper hand."

*laughter and applause*

You're welcome
