    PS - The 3 tear factor is only out of 5, so any more suggestions are welcome and could gain extra tears!

    The personal stuff I have put in other various parts of the speech, but I understand what you are saying.

    All of the weddings I have been to seem to be in this format, with just a generic toast at the end. I have heard some nice ones, but cant use them as a lot of the guests are the same!

    be yourself and bring in how you know and think of the happy couple. Funny stories should have them crying with laughter

    not sure if you can pull this off but this is a Scottish wedding toast

    May the best you've ever seen
    Be the worst you ever see;
    May the mouse ne'er leave your girnal
    We' a tear drap in it's e'e;
    May your lum keep blithely reeking
    Till your old enough to dee;
    May you aye be just as happy
    As I wish you now to be.

    Translation:
    May the best you've ever seen
    Be the worst you'll ever see
    Mayy the mouse never leave your grainstore
    With a tear drop in it's eye
    May your chimney keep smoking
    til you're old enough to die(ie. you have enough money to keep a fire going(
    May you always be just as happy
    As I wish you now to be.
