Okay. So this coming weekend, I may or may not be involved in certain traditional festivities involving a friend of mine from law school, which may or may not involve me getting up in front of a group of people who may or may not be drunk and speaking about/giving best wishes to said friend and said friend's significant other. Did I mention that the group of people of whom I am speaking may or may not be friends or relatives of my friend and said friend's significant other? Did I also mention that I don't actually know many of these people besides said friend and said friend's significant other?
I am a little rusty in terms of what makes a good speech/best wishes message for such an event, and I'm interested in hearing any suggestions about how this might be as meaningful/painless for everybody as possible.
Did I also mention that I may or may not be drunk by then and I am trying to avoid any catastrophes of Costanzian proportions?
Any advice is greatly appreciated.

Avoid any mention of having fucked the bride if at all possible. Other than that, I am reminded of the old saying about what makes for a great sermon: Strong beginning, strong finish, as few words as possible in between.
