i'm godmother to 2 and haven't!

christenings are normally big group things aren't they with lots of kids being done at the same time? goes on for long enough without speeches getting involved!

If you can show your Godchild love and the right moral values as he/she grows up, then that's a good start!
Good luck. Is the occasion soon?
