I did was brothers best man in Aug, I like public speaking so it was ok for me. Again be the MC, introduce all those that wish to speak- one thing I did was note who has/hasn't been thanked so no one (important) gets left out, and theirs no repetition. I delivered my speech off the cuff, but I knew the structure of what I was going to say. If you are not comfortable or sure write out key things you do want to say. Don't ramble, keep in light and throwing in a reference to something that happened in the wedding always a nice touch. Don't be bawdy and compliment the new bride. Finally toast the bride and groom! 7 mins max.
