Every wedding is different -- so it's vital to suit your speech to the audience and atmosphere. And to know the drill where second marriages, widows or single parents are involved.

That's why you need this book: to make sure you've got enough ideas up your sleeve to keep everyone happy and entertained.

Get them listening...You may prefer to stick to what's expected -- or slay them with the unexpected. Either way, know how to command attention and create rapport.

Get them laughing... Spice up your speech with some comic quotes or verses. Add some personal jokes. Or pinch one from a celebrity like Groucho Marx -- he probably pinched it anyway!

Keep it snappy. Leave them happy.
