I'm the maid of honor and I'm giving a speech at my cousin's wedding on Saturday. And I've no idea where to begin. Any ideas?

Keep it short, keep it simple, tell a cute funny story that is tasteful about the two of you or the two of them, and speak from your heart.
Where to start...
When (cousin's name) started dating (her new husband's name) I could see...
or
(Cousin's name), you and I have always been close, and I am thrilled to see you and (new husband's name) so happy today. I remember when we were young... (tell story here)...
Hope these help!

Speeches are very primary in lots of methods. Normally a bride and groom decide on anybody highly primary to them to do the honors. They are ordinarily near household participants or brothers, sisters, or fine peers. The individual who is going to be speakme ordinarily is aware of your darkest secrets and techniques as good because the funniest need to embarrassing moments that they went via of their lifestyles. This create a relatively well second for shooting ordinary smiles, ordinary cinema, and lovely reactions from many visitor and household attending the marriage ceremony. Speeches in my official opinion is one very primary detail of the marriage ceremony.

if you think it is a "speech" you are on the wrong track already: it is a toast and should take less than 60 seconds
anything more is a bore and should be said in private
keep it simple and upbeat and charming: plan it out because you will be nervous; you end by wishing them many years of happiness and welcoming the new member to your family, smile sweetly& then sit down

Talk about how great a person she is, how long you have known her guy, what you thought. Basically, it is story telling.
