Toasts for the Bride and Groom to Make You Smile

For those who have a friend planning on tying the knot in the year of 2012 and you have been assigned the task of giving a toast, I am have come to the rescue

On one of my many journeys through the YouTube channels, I came across these great videos that should help you in your quest.

The following are maid or matron of honor toasts that will make you smile.

• Begin by sharing who you are. Not everyone at the wedding will know your connection to the bride and groom
• Explain your role in the event. Are you the sister, the maid of honor, the best woman, the best man, etc.
• Offer some true or fun marital advice
• Use some quotes that fit the day and the couple; they may be inspirational or amusing

You have been given the honor of being the maid of honor or the matron of honor at your sister's or close friend's wedding. With that honor comes some oblications. One that may be stressing you out a bit will the the speech that you will be asked to make at the wedding reception.

There are a few tips that will help you out and ensure it is a memorable and momentus speech.

1. Don't procrastinate. Begin writing your memories of both the bride and the groom as soon as you are given the honor of being the maid or matron of honor.
2. Early prepartation will give you plenty of time to practice your speech.
3. Share emotional moments and be sure to include some humorous times as well.
4. This is mostly about the bride since the best man will be focusing on the groom.
5. Keep the speech to approximately a five minute rule. The best man will be speaking as well.
6. Keep your humor to one liners. You are not a stand up comic. Your job is to honor the bride. This is about her, not about you.
7. Write your speech down and practice, practice, practice. You may use your notes but as reference only. Do not read the entire speech.
8. Give eye contact to your audience.
9. Take time to pause between momentous lines, be they serious or humorous.

• Make your speech mostly about the groom; the maid/matron of honor will focus her speech around the bride
• recall some fun and adventourous memories of time spent with the groom
• Say some nice things
• Give some marital advice
• Poke a bit of fun at the groom by all means
• End with a toast and something nice

• I hope you are all enjoying what has been a brilliant wedding celebration. Unfortunately every silver lining has a dark cloud and here I am.
• I am happy to preside over the only 5 minutes that the bride did not plan
• They say that the groom's worst 5 minutes are the best man's speech. Unfortuntely, the bride's worst 5 minutes comes later today.
• Love is like the measles, we all have to go through it.
• Here's to martimony, the path for which no compass has been invented

• To the world you may be one person, but to one person you may be the world.
• Love isn't about finding that one person you want to be with, it's about finding that one person you just can't be without
• May they create a home where they feel happy to come to each day and feel sorry to leave.
• May you live each day as though it is your last and each night like it is your first.
• May the two of you always be best friends and the love that you have for one another never end.
• To the bride (say her name), you are everything the groom (say his name) has been looking for and you are everything that I have wished for him. (To all) Raise your glasses please. May (say both names) always find everything you want and need together.
