Wedding Toast thank God there's a drink at the end

Wedding Toast:
Wow, what a special occasion for a toast. Time to reflect on all the moments of life that has brought you to this point. The point of NO return. Yes this is when you have just completed the most important promise you will make this side of eternity. It can be a walk down memory lane, a look toward new horizons or just the ramblings of a friend who should only talk while in the shower. Either way you will probably remember it for years to come. Therefore making it an outstanding event of your reception only makes sense. Make the filling of the toast glasses a ceremony in itself. Have your bartender special pour for each individual as they instruct that the bride and groom request their glass to be lifted in a toast. Tradition will normally ask for the best man and the maid of honor to give the opening toast but you may open it up to all if they feel the urge to speak, but beware of this, you could be in for a long ordeal. I have heard some that were heartbreaking and tearful, this is a time for joy not tears. A sprinkle of sentiment is good but some overdo. Humor is always the best if shared tastefully. The truth is you never know what your friends are going to say so relax, enjoy and know that a drink is at the ready! Penny@BarBop.com
