It is the best man's duty to respond to this toast on behalf of the bridesmaids, his speech should be light hearted and fun. It should be the high spot of the reception and it is very often his ability to make this particular speech, with humour and interest, that is the deciding chapter on the selection of the best man (no pressure then!).

The groom’s speech is one of both humour and appreciation. He should thank his parents for their guidance throughout his life, thank the guests for their gifts, and send his best regards to any family or friends who could not attend the ceremony due to illness. Lastly he should thank the bridesmaids for their service, and may also present them with a gift at this time.

Speech Delivery tips
The father of the bride’s speech is usually one of welcoming, as he bids the groom’s parents welcome to the family, welcomes other relatives and friends to the party (which he usually helped pay for), and says a few words about the daughter he just gave away at the altar. The father of the bride should be called upon to give his speech by either the toastmaster or best man.

Brides will commonly add a few words at their weddings as well. There is no real precedent or etiquette for the bride’s speech, so she should feel free to say as much or as little as she likes, including her feelings on the day and her new husband. The bride should also feel free to display her sense of humour.
