Don't get concerned over funny jokes as a Father of the Bride speech should moving or nostalgic rather than all-out humour.

http://www.speechsuccess.com/father-of-the-bride-speeches.html

-welcome everybody, thank them for attending, with particular emphasis on those who have travelled a great distance to be there.

-praise the Groom's family welcome them into to your family.

-tell a quaint/short story from your daughters childhood. (this can be humorous, loving or indeed both)

-mention how proud you are as a father and heap praise upon your wife/partner in bringing up your daughter.

-finish with a nice toast. (With pride and with much love let us raise a toast to Jack and Jill, to the Bride and Groom, may they live long, laugh often and love always)
