Crafting a touching toast that expresses your love can be intimidating, however if you go with your heart and feelings, you'll be on the right track. You can also lead with a lovely quote, or use them for inspiration as you write your own. Here are some to get you started.
To love is not a part of things
Or a part of life.
To love is the WHOLE of things
And the whole of life.
In my heart is my love for you
And in my love for you life whole is.
(Venus de Medici, 'Essay on Love')
********
I love thee, I love but thee
With a love that shall not die
Till the sun grows cold
And the stars grow old.
(William Shakespeare)
*********
My love, you know you are my best friend.
You know that I'd do anything for you
And my love, let nothing come between us.
My love for you is strong and true.
(Sarah McLachlan)
*********
The power of a glance has been so much abused in love stories, that is has come to be disbelieved in. Few people dare now say that two beings have fallen in love because the have looked at each other. Yet it is in this way that love begins, and in this way only...Nothing is more real than these great shocks which two souls give each other in exchanging this spark.
(Victor Hugo - Les Miserables)
