The only part I remember from my father-in-law's speech was when he said, "May all your up and downs be in the bedroom." I couldn't believe it! :) Luckily, we all have a pretty good sense of humour so no one was offended. I thought it was hilarious and could barely drink for the toast.

Toasts are really blessings -- with a glass of bubbly in your hand.
The really good ones are short and contain the following:
1- a little history with some gentle humor (at your own expense, not your daughter/s)
2- a little about the present (this beautiful day, this special couple)
3- a little wish for the future -- tie it into 1 & 2 with a little more gentle humor
Don't borrow a canned saying, it will mean much more if it is personal and from your heart. And it should be your own style.
Maximum amount of time you have for their attention is 45 to 60 seconds -- surprising how much you can say in that short time. Practice with a gentle but honest coach. And relax -- they will remember how they felt about what you said more than they will remember exactly what you said.
I coached my husband of 31 years in this way. Our daughter was married this summer, and he had never paid attention to the toasts and it now it would be his turn. He was very nervous! BUT The words were all his own and they were lovely. The look of satisfaction on his face when he completed this daunting assignment was one I will always cherish.
Best wishes to you and yours.
