Funny Wedding Toasts




The wedding toast tradition is coming from the Greek times. They initiated the habit as a way of safety against poisoning. More specifically, a sign of good faith, the raise of a glass of wine by the host saying “cheers” and drinking the cup first was a guaranty of his good intents.




Today wedding toasts are very common. In fact there can not be a wedding without a toast, usually held by the best man or one of the bride’s maids. The bride’s father can also hold a toast of his own for the recently married couple.



However, many wedding guests decide to make the toasts funny and so entertain the people there. Funny wedding toasts have become very common because they help the speaker break the ice with his audience. When you decide to use some jokes regarding the bride or the groom you have to be very careful, because they may not like it. So, if you do so, your jokes should not be offensive for neither of them, even if you know they will not get mad on you, you will not want them to remember your toast as the worst moment of their wedding.

    I hate toasts. Especially if I have to do them. It’s just because you have a lot to think of. First, the couple. If you are comfortable with the couple, then it will go well. If you think they shouldn’t get married, there’s a problem. But sticking to the more pleasant variant, you need to consider both the bride and groom alone, then together. Their personality, their relationship. And include that into the toast. Then, your own personality. And here you need to find the middle way between theirs and yours. I am funny person and I like funny things. But the friends I need to toast for a re more romantic. So I need to find my way through. I think I’ll just start funny and end romantically, right? Thanks for these ideas.
