Wedding Speech Closing Line

Wedding Speeches/Toasts?
Does anyone have any idea who normally gives a speech/toast at weddings, I need help my wedding is in August and we don’t know who to ask to do speeches, neither of our parents will give speeches.
I was told that an old time friend is suppose to toast to the bride and someone from each of our families is suppose to welcome the other into our families, also that the maid of honour isnt suppose to give a speech.
Any Ideas where I can find help for the bride and grooms speech.
Also we’re going to be introduced at our reception and go around to each table during the reception to thank everyone individually our guest list is 70 close friends and family. Also thank people in person after the church Ceremony…..So is a receiving line neccessary???
This really depends on your family structure and who is willing to stand up and talk in front of a crowd. =)
Most of the time the best man and the maid of honor will speak along with the parents of the bride and groom. Like I said above this, it all depends on who is willing to talk. You never want to force someone to talk, or to say something that will make them feel uncomfortable.
Sometimes, other people will want to talk at your wedding like an old friend, or someone that is like a parent, and or even you officiant if they have know you for a long time.
Good Luck!
