The introduction is always going to be very personal. Just make sure to choose an anecdote or quotation that will be significant to the couple. Follow this with words of wisdom from personal experience or what you hope your wedding will be like, and then close it with some powerful inspiration for the future.

The best choices always come from:

A story from growing up together if you're a relative or longtime friend.A bonding experience at work if you're a coworker.An example of "what makes a good marriage" if you're married.A quote that really resonates with you.A simple, cheerful message if you're a casual acquaintance.A story about watching them grow up if you're a parent.A message of optimism if you're the future spouse.
