Great Wedding Toasts and One-Liners
Wendy Wilkes
Wedding toasts can be some of the most memorable parts of weddings. All the tension of the wedding is over. People have a drink in their hand, and they're making merry. Ties are loosened, and laughter fills the room.
But when YOU are the one slated to give a toast, that can make for a week's worth of nerves. Should it be short or long? Should it be funny or solemn? Should you talk about just one of the parties, or both? How do you start? How do you finish? And so on.
If you want to give a 4 minute toast, you'll want to find some resources to help you. But here are some thoughts to get you thinking in the matrimonial direction.
1. He who hesitates is lost. But in marriage, he who hesitates saves himself.
2. Getting married for sex is like buying a meal for the free mint.
3. I was married by a judge. I should have asked for a jury -- Groucho Marx
4. "Marriage is a matter of give and take, but so far I haven't been able to find anybody who'll take what I have to give." -Cass Daley
5. If you see a man open the car door for his wife, it's either a new car . . . or a new wife.
6. A groom told his bride that he would go through hell for her. How right he was.
7. "If you want to sacrifice the admiration of many men for the criticism of one, go ahead, get married." -Katharine Hepburn
Use these alone, or weave them into a longer toast. Or don't use them at all. Just use them to get yourself thinking along the right lines. You'll do great!
