tell her that!
"Sis, I love ya, you are my best friend, I know you are going to be happy......and I hope to be as happy as you are someday. I'll alway be here for you if you ever need me........ and to (husband's name) I know you will make my sister happy, or I've got friends in the Mafia if you don't........just kidding/ but seriously I love ya for making my sister happy and I love ya for being a good man and I hope to be lucky enough to find someone who gives me as much joy as you give my sister.... congrats U2... love ya forever"
If you put your own words in there it should feal more from the heart, but that is what I would have said to my sister and what i think would feel good coming from my girlfriends sister

Well, at most weddings I’ve been to, the Maid of Honor also makes a toast, so you’re fine there. You kind of gave yourself some starting points – tell your sister that as you’ve grown up, you’ve always appreciated her, even if you haven’t shown it ;o), give one or two reasons why (she was always willing to listen to you, she always stood up for you, whatever you feel), and that you’re really happy for her because her new husband is such a great guy, etc… The Knot had some guidelines, and these were the “basics” they said to include: how thrilled you are to be at the wedding and thank the bride and groom (and their parents, if appropriate) for inviting everyone to be a part of their special day; a personal touch (a favorite memory, joke, or special secret) that will be emotionally significant to everyone; encouraging (and often moving) words of advice for their future together (A quote will usually work its way in here); Offer well wishes; End with raising your glass and saying “To Jane and John!” Don’t forget that this toast isn’t just about your sister and you (I had a friend give a 5 minute speech about her and the bride – it wasn’t everyone’s favorite toast), it’s more about her and her new husband. If you have more to say that fits in the toast, write it out in a card; she’ll appreciate it either way. As for toast length, it can be as short and sweet as you want, try not to go over 2 minutes at the MOST. Good luck!

Simple and not rambling is best!
Tell everyone in a clear voice that you love your sister, that she has always been a good friend and has been there for you and you appreciate her for it and that you are happy for her because now she found someone else who will love her and be all of those things for her because she deserves happiness.
Write down what you want to say, revise it as many times as you like. Then write down your final toast on a small card so when it comes time to toast your sister, you will not be so overcome with emotion that you forget what you wanted to say to her.
God Bless!

If you're a maid of honor, then sure, you need to provide a speech. If you're fairly uncomfortable with this speak for your core sister and permit her recognize. If you each stand in combination for the period of the speech, however permit her do many of the speakme you'll get off the hook that manner. Do the commencing or the remaining "We love you such a lot and might now not be happier for the 2 of you. To

well from the sounds of it, youve got a pretty good start on your speech. Just talk from your heart and tell your sister and her new husband just how you feel. I am sure you will do great.

ask her if you can make one... if it doesn't work into their wedding day schedule, don't be offended, its their day. Perhaps the bridal shower, or rehersal dinner would be a good place to give it. Or you can write it in a nice letter that she can keep forever
