| I guess it depends on the setting of the wedding, if it is a casual affair then I guess you can skip them. I would at least have a toast session |

| I would do them if i were u. Even if it is just to say that you are keeping it short but would like to thank everyone for coming etc. Otherwise people will be waiting on the speeches |

In America...they typically do the speeches before the meal and they are more like toasts. Ie: no long-winded sagas about the groom's mis-spent youth and follies. That may be a tradition you want to adopt... at least having the best man offer a toast before the meal and then jumping starting the meal also gives a bit of structure to the event. However, before you completely scrap the others...you may just want to check with the father of the bride/or other important father-figure. He may have been quitely planning his speech/toast since the day you were born.

| I would have them if i were you, but you don't have to make them too long. Just thank everyone for coming and for pressies etc and then invite them to help you celebrate by having a really good time |
