What You'll Learn
Geralt's speech is optional
In The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, Geralt's speech at the wedding is indeed optional. The choice of delivering a speech or not is left to the player.
After completing the four main activities at the wedding feast, players can enter the feasting hall and decide whether or not Geralt makes a speech. If the player chooses to make a speech, they can then sit back and enjoy the festivities.
The wedding ceremony in Brunwich is part of the Dead Man's Party quest, which requires Geralt to be at least Level 33. During the quest, Geralt is possessed by Vlodimir, the ghost brother of Olgierd, whom Geralt has been tasked with finding. Shani, who is hosting the wedding, wakes up Geralt/Vlodimir, and the ghost begins to flirt with her. Shani then invites Geralt/Vlodimir to the wedding, where they participate in various activities to pass the time.
The four mandatory activities at the wedding include pig herding, helping the fire swallower, shoe fishing, and playing Gwent. There are also several optional activities, such as drinking at the tables, dancing, talking to the women, and talking to Shani inside the barn. Completing these activities can earn players experience points and items.
After completing the four main activities, players can choose to speak with Master Mirror and resume the wedding festivities. They can also opt to speak with the bride's parents and help them track down the missing fire eater, which leads to an encounter with a wild boar that must be defeated using Geralt's AXII ability.

Shani tries to stop Geralt's speech
Shani is first met at her clinic, where she is talking to some Redanian soldiers about an antidote she is making. They remark on how much she likes Geralt. Once they leave, Geralt can ask her for help in finding Olgierd's brother, Vlodimir, as she has studied Famous Redanian Dynasties. Shani invites Geralt to join her on a trip to the Von Everec family crypt, where she will be waiting with a censer.
Upon reaching the crypt, Shani is making a wreath for a wedding party and asks Geralt to come with her. However, the crypt is creepy, so Shani stays outside while Geralt goes in alone. Inside, Geralt is attacked by wraiths. After defeating them, Geralt is possessed by Vlodimir's ghost, causing him to lose consciousness. Shani wakes Geralt, now possessed by Vlodimir, and the two begin flirting. Shani then offers a suggestion: Vlodimir can have some fun by joining her at the wedding she previously invited Geralt to.
Shani and Geralt, now possessed by Vlodimir, arrive at the wedding feast in Brunwich. Vlodimir insists that Geralt needs something more suitable to wear, so they get him some new clothes. At the feast, Vlodimir, in Geralt's body, meets the newlyweds, Aldona and Johnnus. Despite Vlodimir's best efforts, nothing changes, and the groom is offended.
The wedding guests participate in various activities, including pig herding, Gwent, and drinking. Vlodimir and Shani take part in these activities to pass the time and enjoy themselves. After completing all the activities, it is time for the Capping Ceremony, where Shani will catch the garland. Before this, Vlodimir wants to make a speech, but Shani tries to stop him. If the player chooses to go ahead with the speech, it will make them look like "an ass", but there are no other repercussions. After the ceremony, Vlodimir writes a letter to his brother, Olgierd, to prove that he had a great time at the wedding.

Geralt's speech has no effect on the bride or groom
In The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, Geralt can choose to make a speech at a wedding. This occurs during the Dead Man's Party quest, where Geralt, Shani, and Vlodimir attend a wedding feast in Brunwich.
While Geralt can choose to make a speech, it is worth noting that none of the optional dialogue choices during the wedding will result in warm feelings between either the bride or the groom. The speech, therefore, has no effect on their feelings.
During the wedding, Geralt is possessed by Vlodimir, the ghost brother of Olgierd, who is seeking to prove to his brother that he can have a good time at the wedding. As such, Geralt's dialogue options are influenced by Vlodimir, leading to some hilarious and backhanded but complementary gestures.
Despite the lack of impact on the bride and groom, the wedding guests seem to enjoy Vlodimir's antics. Additionally, the speech does have repercussions for Geralt's relationship with Shani. Choosing to make the speech can cause Geralt to look like a fool in front of Shani, potentially offending her. However, players may still choose to do it for fun without any other significant consequences.
Overall, while Geralt's speech may entertain the guests and impact his relationship with Shani, it does not affect the bride or groom's feelings in any way.

Geralt's speech is part of the 'Dead Man's Party' quest
In the Dead Man's Party quest, Geralt must show Olgierd von Everec's brother, Vlodimir, "the time of his life" after his body has been possessed by the ghost. To do this, Geralt and Vlodimir attend a wedding in Brunwich. After completing four main activities and talking to Master Mirror, Vlodimir will want to make a speech. Shani will try to stop him, but Geralt can choose to make a speech instead. This is followed by a cutscene where the garland falls on Shani's head during the traditional capping, and Vlodimir writes a letter in his blood to his brother Olgierd, proving that he had a great time.
After the capping ceremony, Geralt can choose to stay at the feast with Shani, which will begin the secondary quest A Midnight Clear. Alternatively, Geralt can return to Olgierd at the Alchemy Inn to complete the Dead Man's Party quest.
During the wedding, Geralt can participate in various activities, including pig herding, Gwent, and drinking with guests. Each event advances time by one hour. Geralt can also help to find the fire eater who has disappeared by tracking the dog's footprints into the forest. After finding the fire eater, Geralt can return to the wedding and play Gwent with some dwarven guests.
Before the wedding, Geralt meets Shani at her clinic, where she is talking to some Redanian soldiers about an antidote she is making. They mention how much she ""likes" Geralt. After they leave, Geralt asks Shani for help in finding Olgierd's brother. Shani has studied Famous Redanian Dynasties and joins Geralt on a trip to the Von Everec family crypt, where she waits outside while Geralt goes in.
In the crypt, Geralt is attacked by wraiths and must use his Witcher Senses to locate Vlodimir's coffin. Once he finds it, he uses the censer that Shani gave him to fumigate the area, and then lights the central votive. After this, Vlodimir possesses Geralt, and the two switch bodies.

Geralt's speech is made as Vlodimir/Geralt
In The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, Geralt gives an inspirational speech at a wedding while possessed by Vlodimir. This occurs during the "Dead Man's Party" quest, which requires Geralt to be at least Level 33.
After completing the four main activities at the wedding feast, Geralt (possessed by Vlodimir) has the option to make a speech. Shani will try to stop him, but if the player chooses to go ahead, they will be treated to a lengthy cutscene of Vlodimir's backhanded but complementary gestures.
During the speech, Vlodimir also writes a letter to his brother Olgierd in his own blood, providing proof that he had risen from the dead (temporarily) and had a splendid time at the wedding. This letter effectively resolves Olgierd's doubts, as he would not have simply taken Geralt's word for it.
The player can also choose to participate in various wedding activities, both mandatory and optional, to earn experience points and items. Some of the mandatory activities include pig herding, helping the fire swallower, shoe fishing, and playing Gwent. The optional activities include drinking at the tables, dancing, talking to the women, and talking to Shani inside the barn.
