A friend of mine in a similar circumstance made his toast wholely in the personna of a general manager of a sports team making a draft day announcement. Lots of "good for the team" and "we look for a lot of good things out of this young man", coupled with discussions of his talents and virtues. He'd even had a jersey made up with the guy's name with the number 1 on the back. It was, far and away, the best wedding toast I've ever witnessed.
