Toasts are usually given at the wedding reception. There are many kinds of toasts. There are toasts from the groom to the bride, from the bride to the groom. From the best man to the groom, from the groom to the best man, from the maid of honor to the bride, from the father to the bride, and so on. Toasts are fun. They’re the best part of the wedding for some people.

Let me level with you. It can be tough to give a toast. Some people just wing it, and give a toast off the top of their heads. But most people are far too conscientious to take such a flippant attitude toward this responsibility. Most want to do a good job. Well, I don’t have any good long toasts for you in this article, but I do have some funny lines you could work in.

Here are some funny thoughts:

1. To marriage . . . a word that means commitment . . . to an insane asylum.

2. Getting married for the fringe benefits is like buying a shirt for one of the buttons.
