  I'm fairly certain (but not positive) that it's traditional for the groom to make a toast at the wedding. However, I've never been to a wedding where this is done - I have been to several rehearsal dinners where the bride and groom thank and introduce their wedding party and thank their parents (if they hosted), and basically welcome any out of towners. That's not a requirement, but if you want to make a toast the rehearsal dinner is an option as well.

  I have been to two weddings (Canadian, non-immigrant) where the bride and groom did a joint speech to each other at the reception, in addition to the BM, MOH and both sets of parents doing toasts/speeches. I wonder if it's a regional thing.

  I think it's just personal preferance.  My groom definitely won't do a speech, not his thing, but we'll probably speak briefly at the RD.  My friend and her FI are going to do a joint speech to each other at the wedding, like unchat mentioned...it's kind of their alternative to personalized vows.  So it's up to you.
