Remember to inject the toast with your personality. If you're naturally funny, your toast should be too or else it will come off as unnatural. Here's a great example of how add a little humor to your speech:
I'd like to like to thank you all on behalf of my wife and I for sharing our special day. We've been worrying about this day for months and it means so much that you managed to make it and we hope you're all having a great time.
Thank you to Chad and Corey for making this day possible. Without your help and support, none of us would be here today. I have to thank both of you for bringing up such a beautiful and intelligent daughter. I’ll leave you to decide which trait comes from who. {pause for laughter :D }
Thank you for making me so welcome in your family. I hope to become everything you want from a son-in-law.
I would also like to thank my parents, who should really receive a medal for endurance. You have always loved and supported me through every stage of my life - especially the teenager stage that seemed last into my twenties, and which Mom may argue hasn’t ended yet. Thank you for all of the love and guidance. Oh, and the money too.
The one person in the room to which I owe the most thanks, is Bridgett, my wife. I still can’t believe that such a wonderful woman has chosen to marry me. She looks absolutely stunning today as I’m sure you’ll agree.
I don’t have to hope that our future together will be a happy one, I KNOW it will be. Every morning I wake up to find I love Bridgett twice as much as the day before. As Bridgett may tell you - I’m often wrong, however in marrying Bridgett, I know I’ve made the right decision.
Cheers!
