Toasts

Although no one knows for sure, toasts are believed to have originated from the
habit of poisoning one's enemy by slipping the poison into their glass of wine.
Much to the relief of guests everywhere, honorable hosts started pouring from a
common pitcher and sipping the wine first - proving it was not poisoned - before
offering a toast to the health and happiness of their guests. |
Eventually this evolved into today's wedding toasts that offer
congratulations and best wishes to the Bride and Groom.
There are typically four people who will speak at a wedding. The father of the
bride, the best man, the groom and the maid of honor. Of course other people are
free to speak as well, but typically these 4 are the main 4 speakers of the
wedding. It is not uncommon for the maid of honor or the father of the groom to
speak and even bridesmaids.
