Three or four glasses of Champagne and wing it mate. Just make sure you remember to welcome and thank every one for coming. Tell them how proud you are of your daughter, what a wonderful mother she has and how much you like her new husband. If possible remember his name and use it a couple of times. "Errrr.... Thingy there" is not considered acceptable. If there is anyone in a big hat, compliment it ..... do not ask if it was stolen from a seaside donkey. Tell a funny but not humiliating story about your daughter when she was little. Thank everyone again and buy a round of drinks if it is a paid bar. Best speeches last no more than ten minutes.
