Dear Someone Special:
As for the wedding, you won't need any speech tips. This isn't where speeches take place. That happens at the wedding reception. Your role will be to walk her down the aisle and give her away to her husband to be.
At the reception, if you choose to give a speech, it doesn't have to be long or overly scripted. A suggestion would be to include how you came to be in her life, what she means to you and wish her and her new husband well.

Dear Hoopster,
I agree, keep it simple. Your reception speech won't be anything like a Father of the Bride speech, but rather a Friends Speech, or, if you are close like a brother and sister you could look to examples of Brother of the Bride speeches.
You could include what the bride means to you and how she has influenced your life, a few nice things you've come to know about the groom, why you think they are so well suited for one another, and what you wish for their future.
