I've seen only one couple make a speech and it was such a sweet moment that we might as well. It was right before dinner where the groom and bride stood up and thanked everyone for coming, thanked their parents and families, and then someone clinked a glass and they used the opportunity for the groom to joke that every time someone clinks a glass they don't realize that the bride then has to reapply lipstick after the kiss. It was great!
