We are throwing a party for about 100 people and I am the youngest child (38 yo). I just found out that I am expected to say a few things but I am at a loss. Any advice?

Think of all the wonderful things they did for each other and their children.
Mention special vacations and holiday dinner experiences .Just tell everyone at the party about the Love you grew up with .

some useful phrases: 'If I could be half as happy as you two are, I'd be the luckiest guy in the world' 'You couldn't have set a better example' Other ideas... something about it being a rock solid marrriage, stuck together through thick and thin etc. 'a beacon of hope in a society where many marriages burn out' that kinda thing. A few funny stories wouldnt go amiss. Try and keep it to under 5 minutes so people don't get bored -Short and sweet is much better than long and tiring. even if you've got a ton of jokes in there, it takes a genius to pull of a long speech, really it does. good luck!

Better to not write a speech. Instead just recall a fond memory or touching or humorous story about your parents and what the last 50 years of their marriage has taught you.

their your parents so speak from the heart and the words will come easily 50yrs is very special and the speech whatever you say will be special to your parents no matter what the words are it will be special because it is coming from their youngest child that they treasure.

Just speak from your heart. Speak of happy memories and how proud you are to have parents that are still together after 50 years.

talk to your other sibling about how they see your parents marriage and what you make of it ,try to keep it light and mix in some past with what you think there marriage has done for you as a person in your own relationship and end it with a wishful hope you have 50 more keep it short
