After thanking your guests, you may share brief anecdotes about your son as he was growing up. This would be a good example: "Standing here today, I can't help but remember my son as a little boy. Back then, all he really cared about apart from his family were his studies and his favorite sport, soccer."
"Now, I look at him and I see a man - far different from the boy who used to climb trees and play video games until the late hours of the day. Here, now, is a man who's just become a husband and who will soon become a father. Son, congratulations on your wedding day! I'm proud of you. I am. Here's a toast to the bride and groom! To forever!"
