"May you have the health of a salmon,
A strong heart, and a wet mouth."

Through the lips and over the gums, look out stomach, here it comes.

That is my dad's favorite toast. I have heard it all my life.

Our family toast is "may you be in heaven an hour before the devil knows you're dead".
(Has to be said in a very strong Irish accent )

That was my grandad's favourite.

Good one, Fluff. I've heard that before but could not recall the wording.

"Here's to those that love us,
And here's to those that don't,
A smile for those who are willing to,
And a tear for those who won't."

Here's the toast from "Four Weddings and a Funeral"

I am sorry to drag you from your delicious dessert but there are one or two little things I feel I should say as best man. This is only the second time I’ve been a best man. I hope I did the job all right. At least the couple in question are still talking to me. They are not actually talking to each other. The divorce came through a couple of months ago. But I’m sure it had absolutely nothing to do with me. Apparently Paula knew that Peter had slept with her younger sister before I mentioned it in my speech. The fact that he slept with her mother came as a surprise. But I think it was incidental to the nightmare of recrimination and violence that became their two-day marriage.

But my job today is to talk about Angus and there are no skeletons in his cupboard.

I am ever in bewildered awe of anyone who makes this kind of commitment that (they) have made today. I know I couldn’t do it.

There was a great toast in My Best Friend's Wedding.
Also funny in The Wedding Planner when J Lo was feeding the best man his toast through an earpiece.

Fluff, you sound like you have a great family!

Here's one I like:

"May thy life be long and happy,
Thy cares and sorrows few;
And the many friends around thee
Prove faithful, fond and true."


I don't think any of us could ask for anything more than that.

Another wedding one:

"Here's to matrimony...
The high sea for which no compass has yet been invented."

[KylieGrant]

Wayner, that's a really sweet one. I like that!

Wayner, that's a really sweet one. I like that!

Yeah, but how many points is it worth?
