Anyone Irish?
But you don't have to be Irish for this:
May the road rise to meet you.
May the wind be always at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face.
May the rains fall soft upon your fields.
And until we meet again,
May God hold you in the hollow of His hand.

Take the grooms hand and place it on top of the bride's hand. Then say, "Now, remember this moment and cherish it....because this will be the last time you'll ever have the upper hand!["
"To keep a marriage brimming with love in the loving cup--
When you are wrong, admit it and when you are right, shut up!"
"May there always be work for your hands to do.
May your purse always hold a coin or two.
May the sun always shine warm on your windowpane.
May a rainbow be certain to follow each rain.
May the hand of a friend always be near you.
And may God fill your heart with gladness to cheer you.
"To the two secrets to a long-lasting happy marriage:
Here's to a good sense of humor
--and a short memory!"

Start by introducing yourself as the brother (?) of the bride. Then say something about growing up with your sister and possibly tell a funny story about your childhood together. Say something about how she's grown since those years. Then move onto something about the groom like when they met or when you first met him. Say something nice about their relationship. End with congratulating the couple and wishing them the best. Try to keep it short and simple and speak from your heart.

focus on the things you love about your sister, and also on the time you two had growing up as a family. try not to embarrass her to much, good luck!
