This article about wedding speeches. Enjoy reading it :)

Don't just start speaking and rush words out of your mouth. It is normal to be nervous, try to be calm, and remember to breathe. Take deep and long breathes. This helps to relieve you. Also try stretching out  your fingers and toes.Don't lock your knees.  It really does work to calm you.

Do not drink. A small alcoholic drink might help you but more than one might just blow you away. You can drink water instead but trying not drinking a lot. You might not want to excuse yourself for restroom in the middle of the speech.

Just be yourself, you need not be perfect, and nobody is. Nor your audience is expecting a very inspiration speech from you that'll change somebody's life as such. Calm down, nobody's making a grand expectation form you.

If you get emotional, don't worry. Take some time to gather yourself and then go on with the flow. This even makes good impact and it won't be only you getting emotional there. You might even be taken as the best speaker if you can get some tears in some eyes. But you can also try being a little more humorous rather than emotional. It all depends on the kind of person you are. Being a little funny is good too. It brings fun and liveliness in the environment and when people start laughing, it boosts your confidence too. At times it is better to end up your wedding speech with laughter than tears for a change. People will remember you longer for it.
