Speeches are an important part of weddings. A wedding speech is meant to reflect on love and relationships and showcase the type of relationship the couple has, or something related to the individual delivering the speech. Your choice of who gives a speech at a wedding is entirely up to you, but if you need help asking someone to do it, I have a couple of suggestions to help you ask them politely.
If You Are Available, I’d Like For You To Speak At My Wedding
Before the day of the wedding, you can invite someone to give a speech by saying “If you are available, I’d like you to speak at my wedding.” This is a way to tell them that the wedding is coming up and if they can be present, you will want them to play the role of delivering a thoughtful speech at a wedding.
I Just Want You To Know That It Will Be A Pleasant Honor For Me To Have You Give A Speech At My Wedding

I Still Have One More Request The Person Who Is Supposed To Deliver My Speech Is Not Chosen. Can You Do It?
You could want that friend or family member who has always supported you as you prepared for the wedding to give the speech. It makes sense for you to appreciate them for all the support they have offered to that point before making your request.
If You Asked Me, I Would Say Delivering The Speech At My Wedding Would Be All The Support I’d Want
Suppose someone meets you and tells you about how they would like to support you and you feel they should handle the speech, you could easily say “If you asked me, I would say delivering the speech at my wedding would be all the support I want.” Since they want to support you, they’ll be willing to take care of that part of your wedding.

However, if they are your friend they may cut you some slack.

You And My Wife Have Been Friends Since Childhood And I Can’t Think Of Any Other Way To Make Her Feel Special At Our Wedding Than Allowing You To Give A Speech
If the person you would want to have for the speech is a friend of either one of the people getting married, you could play the friendship card to say that since they’ve been friends with whoever it was it would only make the person feel special if their best friend gets to say a couple of words on their big day.
