A few tips: * No caffeine - it makes you more jumpy, more anxious. * No heroin - talk too slow * Practice 10-20 times going through the whole thing * Practice doing the first paragraph 50-100 times - nothing derails a speech more than a stumble at the beginning. * Practice acting comfortable - don't just read/deliver * Alcohol - you need to be prepared here. Some people are more fluid (ahem...) with a drink while it messes other people up. Decide prior to attending the wedding what your plan is * Flirt with the pretty girls with your eyes. I find that I can maintain that "randomness" factor of scanning and including the whole audience if I look for the hotties and then make eye contact. It also makes me more comfortable looking at pretty girls than men or women twice my age. * Look your best - confidence comes from looking good and feeling good. The "looking good" should be easy - you're in a suit - and the "feeling good" should come from the fact that you are prepared due to all of your practice. Good luck!
