Quotes For Your Wedding Toasts!
Toast takes place at the end of dinner and right before the first dance, in the modern wedding itinerary. This acts as an emotional build up for the guests and the bride and groom, before they step out on the dance floor for the evenings "big event". The idea is to not only have the friends and family raise the glass in the name of love, the bride and the groom and what they are there for, but to also talk a bit about soul binding and true love and truly inspire the guests. Here are some quotes that you can use in your big toast that will be sure to get the ladies feeling warm and fuzzy inside.
It is important as a public speaker that you weave the quote in at the appropriate time. The best idea for saying the quote is either as an introduction or as a conclusion to your speech. With any speech, essay, movie or story you are going to want to have a nice introduction, a nice body and a nice close. So use the quote as a tool to make your speech well rounded and well written. Also, remember that cards and written speeches are always frowned upon and if you absolutely must have something written down to anchor you, then try writing down key points and improvising the actual sentences to be said as this will seem more professional and rehearsed.
May your love be like the misty rain, gentle coming in but flooding the river.
