Have you been called upon to give a toast at a wedding? Don’t know what to say? Have a near-crippling fear of speaking in public? Don’t worry, I’ve got you covered. Just follow the easy-to-read toast and you’ll be life of the party/wedding/roast!
For the Best Man or someone connected to the Groom:
“Good evening all you beautiful people. First, I want to take a moment to thank everyone for being here and making this day as special as it is.
I’ve known Harry1 since college. Through some lucky twist of fate we were placed as roommates together during our freshman year. It’s safe to say, I’ve been through a lot with this guy. Late nights studying. Even later nights listening to him snore. (Pause for laughter)
Harry is the type of person that you can count on to be there for you. When I lost my leg2, I found myself in a pretty dark place. I remember Harry visiting me. I’ll never forget the words you said to me. Do you remember? He said to me, “Harry, shit like this happens. Now, lock it up.” He patted me on the shoulder and I knew – I knew – that everything would be alright from that point on.
And now we’re here today on this beautiful beach3 with these two beautiful people and I want to say, Monica4 you have a great guy here. I know that he’ll be there for you through all the good times and the difficult ones. And Harry, don’t fuck it up. (Pause for laughter)
Now, let’s raise a glass. To Monica and Harry. They’re the fuckin’ best.”
