The first toast is done by the best man, always. Thereafter, any toast can be made and they should be considered a compliment of love by any who make them, that is as long as they are tactful. Traditions will be different depending on the country you live in but in the UK, it's not usually expected that the Groom's Parents will make a toast. The order for UK wedding speeches is normally, Father of the Bride, Groom then Best Man.

entire wedding (this includes wedding flowers) the grooms parents
may offer to pay for something such as wedding flowers. It may seem
rude to reject such a generous gift. With that said, there is no
obligation for the grooms parents to pay for anything.
Answer
If either set of parents wishes to pay for any portion of
wedding expenses, they will offer it to the couple. Unless/until
that happens, the couple is on their own.
