The basic storylin I have run twice, and that has worked well:
After all welcome and thanks etc. Congratulations to "the Groom" for such a great catch. "The Bride" is as we all know beautiful, caring, fun jada jada.. So congratulations to "The Groom". And I sjould also congratulate The Bride, since The Groom he is...., He has. [Long hesitatiaon]. He is not all that bad! (said with hesitation)
And I really mean that, he is not all that bad.
And then I run a few fun stories of what the Groom has done, ususally some innocent but still funny stuff, and turn it into how it shows he is a great guy - that link could even be farfetched.
And then I summarize with: As I know have proven, The Groom is not all that bad after all. [Now said with emphasis in a way that it comes out as a compliment - it at least works in Swedish]
So with two such great people we are all convinced that this will be a happy marriage. Toast.
It has worked well for me.
