Most every quote here is years old.
Such as the Queen Mum / Queen / Camilla joke.
It was a tired opening gambit 5 years ago; do not fall into the trap of simply regurgitating the same-old same-old at your own wedding, you'll look a complete fool.
As above, your pasl are expecting to cheer the "my wife and I" piece and you could go on to tell them how you felt at the front of the aisle when (inset name) appeared. It will have them loving you and the women will hang on your every word.
Showing some chink in your emotional armour is very good form. Make it short, concise and not at all over the top. Done tastefully, you will have every lady in the room in the palm of your hands and even the men will allow you 20 seconds of vulnerability.
Bring your parents and your new in-laws into the equation and heap praise and thanks upon then with some pithy witticisms about one or more of them and a past event or two. This can have people rolling around with tears in their eyes and again, you come out of it all setting the Best Man up with an unenviable task ahead with his own speech!
Avoid mention of the stag and ex girlfriends as these are an irrelevance & will damage you and your standing. Keep it short and to the point. Practise it in front of your most trusted Lieuteneant at least a day before the wedding day and you'll go down a storm.
