Speak from the heart. Ever see wedding crashers? Actually the best speech I've heard at a wedding related a childhood story of playing "catch the boo" with my friend catching his wife. You must have plenty of stories about your kid sister. Maybe you can relate one to her husband to be?

Well, if you have to make a speech, it will be right around the time the toast to the bride & groom is given.
It's best not to make it too long, after all people will want to eat dinner ;-)
You should stand up, and after you have gotten everyone's attention, and the room quiets down, you might start off by introducing yourself and your role in the wedding party. You might then make a small joke to put everyone at ease.
After that, you may want to make some reference back to your childhood with your sister, and perhaps how you felt when you first found out you were going to be a 'Big' sister. If you don't want to do that, you may want to mention some other equally endearing story about time spent with your sister. ( just make sure it's not embarassing)
After that, you can talk about how much your relationship with her has meant to you, and how much it will always mean. If you like your future brother-in-law, you may also want to include him in your little speech by saying something to the effect of not losing a sister but gaining a new brother. (that's sure to score you some brownie points)
You might conclude with asking everyone to join you in wishing (whatever your sister and future's husband names are) a lifetime of love and happiness together...(or words to that effect)
if you happen to be the one giving the toast, then you should raise your glass and say something to the effect of,
"Please everyone join me in toasting ----- and ------ may they have many long, happy and healthy years together."
After that, eveyone will toast to the new bride and groom, they'll applaud and then you can be seated again.
Best Of Luck*

Yes, you say how Honored you are that your sister chose "YOU" to be her Maid of Honour. That loving her and watching her grow into this Beauty young woman has been a pleasure. You only want the best for her and you want her to know that you are not just her, "Maid of Honour", you are her "Sister", and that bond is forever!! Then say, "Didn't I tell you, that you couldn't get married before me"!!!

my maid of honor fretted over her speech for months...finally, she wrote it all down, exactly what she wanted to say. A few minutes before her speech, she tore it up and just decided to wing it. And it was a great speech! Just focus on the message you want to give--how much you love her and how happy you are for them, and you can't go wrong!

Nobody likes a long speech. Say meaningful things. dont try humor...its cheesy....look on the bright side half of the people there will be sloshed already and the other half wont hear you or wont care

Regarding your wedding discuss with your mother first. Try know her intention about your marriage. Then you ask her to seek good guys.
