Clean Wedding Toasts

"Toasting" has its roots in France, where the French have a tradition for putting a piece of bread into a champagne filled glass so as to absorb sediments.  Remember that during the wedding toast, the bride and groom are not supposed to raise their glasses during the toast, it's a moment where others raise their glasses to the bridal couple.

Ten Funny Wedding Toasts by the Famous

You can write the toast yourself, or you can get a book of wedding toasts and then modify one. If you are going to make a funny wedding toast, then it must come from the heart.

Do practice the toast until you can recite it naturally and without hesitation.  Finally, to gain extra confidence find out precisely at
what point during the reception you should give the toast.  If in doubt, give it immediately after the blessing.

What Kind of Wedding Do You Want, My love?

A church filled with family and friends.
I asked him what kind of a wedding he wished for,
He said one that would make me his wife.'
