As this is a special event and there will be lots of people there young and old it is essential you do not mention anything crude or sexual as this might detract from the scenario and lower the tone of the occasion. It will also offend a lot people if you say something around this topic.
You should say all the right things including thanking the bride and groom, thanking the parents of both sides of the family as well as greeting your other halves for all the efforts they have undertaken to make this a special event. They have probably organised a lot of things from the catering to the venue and everything in between so it is essential you thank them accordingly. It is advisable to stay away from any xenophobic or dirty jokes as again this will certainly lower the tone and be very awkward for your guests.
Another thing not to say would be to swear or get hideously drunk so that you make a fool of yourself and also provide embarrassing entertainment for the other party guests. You should also watch out especially if you are drunk as you may regret saying something rude or just plain offensive that might upset family or friends. As long as you keep to your script and don’t offend anyone you should be alright.

A good rule of thumb is not to insult the future bride or groom. So don't say "I never really liked him" about your future son in law, and likewise don't say, "well I never thought my daughter would get anyone to marry her.." just say nice things about each of them and then nice things about how they are together s a couple., Really easy.
