If you are not first in the speech order, your opening line can be to say something funny about the previous presenter or speech. Just make sure it is not derogatory or insulting. Keep it clean, or you\u2019ll make a few enemies. Here\u2019s a great way to do it!<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">&#8220;I just want to start by congratulating (PREVIOUS PRESENTERS NAME) on their incredible wedding speech tonight. I knew that speech would be hard to follow and I was right; I couldn&#8217;t follow a word of it.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\">Relationship Advice<\/h2>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">&#8220;I&#8217;d like to begin my speech this evening by giving the happy couple some relationship advice. Unfortunately, I&#8217;m single and spend the majority of my time dressing my dog in cute outfits and trying to get their photos viral on Instagram.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\">Just Be Yourself<\/h2>\n<p>The pressure is undoubtedly on when you have been asked to present a wedding speech. And while you may be tempted to WOW the guests and couple with witty jokes and charming sentiments, the best advice is just to be yourself. And you can even use this as your opening line. Here\u2019s how.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">&#8220;(NAME) knows that I&#8217;m am incredibly nervous about this speech, so they gave me some great advice.
