Just so, how do you end a wedding toast?
It is customary to end the toast to the bride (and groom) by saying, “And now, ladies and gentlemen, may I ask you to rise (if they are seated; if they are standing only ask them to raise their glasses) and join me in wishing the charming couple health and happiness.
Considering this, what do you say in a bride's toast?
Traditionally, the order of wedding reception toasts goes like this:
- The best man toasts the bride.
- The maid/matron of honor toasts the groom.
- The wedding host/financier (traditionally the father of the bride) toasts the couple.
- Other parental figures of the couple toast the couple.
Many of my friends say foreign toasts: "Salute!" (Italian), "Prost!" (german), "Sláinte!" (Irish), or "Za zdorov'ye!" (Russian). I guess they're pretty pretentious. Most Americans say "Cheers!" or "To your health!"
