7 Funny Wedding Toasts
April 6, 2008 – 8:04 pmWhen did people start giving wedding toasts? Any idea? It wasn’t until recently. That surprises many people. In spite of the recency of the tradition, the tradition seems to have taken hold. And now many people within the wedding party are expected to give toasts. Toasts can be solemn or funny. And they’re a great chance to wish the couple well.
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.
Here are some funny thoughts:
1. He who hesitates is lost. But in marriage, he who hesitates saves himself.
2. Getting married for the fringe benefits is like buying a shirt for one of the buttons.
3. Want to remember your wife’s birthday. Forget it once, and you should have no trouble remembering the next time.
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. Marriage is like a phone call when you’ve been sleeping. First there’s the ring. And then you wake up. -Evelyn Hendrickson
7. There are three rings to marriage: the engagement ring, the wedding ring, and the suffering.
Now, we know these probably aren’t helping that much with YOUR toast. But maybe they put a smile on your face, and now you can get to work on your toast. Good luck!
