The first suggestion is to talk about something that relates to the couples relationship. Preferably something that defines it as a whole. You can make reference to how well they work together or they complete each other. Sharing personal incites and observations of the couple in action are great way to go with this route.
Another strategy would be to make everyone laugh. Any funny stories about the couple or family could be appropriate if they are not blatantly offensive. Common family knowledge is a good beginning for comedy because then everyone will get the joke. Again any personal references about the couple would be welcomed in this situation.
To end a speech you could talk about the future for the couple. Speak about how they can last together forever or point out interesting traits that may cause funny moments in the relationship down the road. You could also allude to the fun times that will be had at the honeymoon and other events that will occur down the line.
These have been a couple suggestions for wedding speech material for your small but important moment at the reception. If you think about it beforehand and practice a little you shouldn't have to worry about it and knock their socks off.
