ODE TO MY BROTHER PAUL
(given by twin brother Steve)Lisa, meet my brother Paul.

He took the plunge, he buckled under.
Now he hopes it ain't no blunder.
Life with Paul won't always be great and that's coming
from his first womb mate. I love him and I'll miss him,
so treat him good, and you be smart and take good care of that old fart.


Troy Pierce

"Let us toast the health of the bride,
let us toast the health of the groom, let us toast the person that tied,
let us toast every guest in the room. Look down you gods and
on this couple drop a blessed crown."
Shakespeare


Karl Kindt
Webster Groves, MO USA

(A poem written by Karl Kindt and read at his
brother's wedding as a toast.)Attend to Thy LoveO Man,
Take not thy lady for granted,
Supposing she be the sun or seasons.
'Tis true,
Many a lady hath been compared to a summer's day,
Many a lover hath called upon the moon's powers.But no,
Your lady, beauty though she may be,
Is not a purely natural creature.Like you,
She hath a soul, a mind, a heart,
A heart that can grow turgid with passion.
Your lover,She may be as lovely as the blooming rose,
As sweet as a new spring morning,Your lady,
Though she may be your only true flower of love and passion,
Sitting idly by will cause the flower to droop and wilt.
The flower,That enchanting blossom of fresh love,
Needs to be tended with caring devotion,Or else,
Without fanfare or show,
The love can fade and lose some of its treasured splendor.
So Man,As has been said before,
Make much of time,For life,
O ardent life,Is swiftly passing when it is filled with joy.
O Man,Compare thy love to a gentle river around which flowers grow,
But assume not the effusion shall last forever,
And thus,
Not visiting the banks of her abounding care,
Allow the waters to dissipate and the flowers to wane.


Clyde Wells

May the feelings you feel now be the ones you feel always, forever and a day.


Michelle L.
Phila. PA. USA

A commitment should last forever; And life should always be this good.
But when times are hard and the road is rough, remember the words you spoke today,
and remember the way you feel right now and try to forgive, sometimes thats all we have to give. For to love is to learn and to learn is to forgive. Best wishes to you both, and may your love be long lived.


Mark Stano

When I think of Mike, one thing comes to mind: FIRE, no really, I mean FIRE!
Ingiting, cobmustion, burning flames

At age 7, Mike tried to burn down my backyard playhouse.
By age 14, we had to notify the national forest service whenever we took Mike camping.
At age 16, Mike was the first person ever to light a metal street sign.
By age 19, all of our friends can show a ?Mike?s fireworks scar.?

Even tonight, when mike went to light the unity candle,
I looking around the church for where the fire extinguishers were located.

But tonight, Mike didn't just light a candle.
Mike lit a fire in a young lady?s eyes,
and a torch which will serve as an example to all of his friends.

Mike and Janie,
may your new life be as intense as a roaring fire,
may it burn as long as the fiery sun in the sky,
and may your troubles float away like ashes in the night air.

It been a subject of many a conversations. How long have I known Chris? 15 years 20? Well I and Chris keep in touch every 3-4 weeks, updating to each other whats going on. One time I didnt here from Chris for two months. I and my wife were puzzled. So not knowing where Chris was, we called his mother. She gave us his number where he could be reached. I called, he explained to me that he had just spent the week-end with the most beautiful girl in the world. When he made that statement I reached back to my wallet and gave my wife Vikki an undisclosed amount of money. She won the bet. Everyone please join me in a toast to Chris and Erin, may you have good health and a long life together - congratulations.

A Toast to our Bride and Groom: - Perfect total love between a man and woman is like a flaming ball of fire, composed of 4 layers: - The outer layer of the ball of love is the flame of passion for each other. May you possess it all your lives. - The second layer of the ball of love is the emotion of liking each other, with its ebbs and flows. May your ebbs always be less frequent than your flows. - The third layer is that of friendship; May you always find your best friend in each other. - The fourth and inner layer is the hard, firm core of Decision - shown to us perfectly by our Lord,and this is the same love found in the Bible in I Corinthians 13. May you be constant in your Decision to love each other always. - May you have this perfect, total, love forever.

Scott and I have been the best of friends since 1st grade and he has been like a brother to me my entire life. We have had the opportunity to share many special occasions together and I am truly honored to be here tonight making the first toast to Scott and Diane as husband and wife. I can remember when Scott and I were young boys and we would ride our bikes around the same block each and every day after school. I don't think either one of us really knows why we rode our bikes around the same block each and every day after school... I guess it was just the hope of finding something new and exciting around each and every corner. Today, I walk my dog around that very same block because it brings back fond memories of a special friendship that I'll always remember. Scott and Diane, as you start your new life together today on a different block with different faces, I would just like to wish the both of you health, happiness and success around each and every corner. Congratulations Scott and Diane, and may the happiest day of your past be the saddest day of your future. Cheer!

I can tell you its an honor and a privilege to be bob's best man. You see i've known him all my life, and i can tell you as a baby bob was very ugly!! As a matter of fact bob's mom beth didn't experience morning sickness until after bob was born. Now i don't want to bore you with high school stories because the statute of limitations hasn't expired yet. so let's get to the good stuff. If you know bob like i do he's got an ego bigger than the grand canyon. Bob once said "if there is such a thing as reincarnation i'm coming back as myself". every night before he goes to bed he puts his arms around shawn and tells her how lucky she is to have him. Bob also brags of having the "body of a 20 year old". I agree, a 20 year old volvo!!!!! Now Shawn always wanted to marry a virgin, and well I don't know the answer to that, frankly i don't want to know. I do know that before bob met shawn, the last woman he had been inside was the STATUE OF LIBERTY!!!!! IN all seriousness, bob's a great guy and a true friend. I love him and his new bride very much. cheers!!!!!!!!

There are few occasions we celebrate with more vigor than a wedding….. and sadly there are many institutions we hold above marriage Today the wedding tomorrow the marriage! We associate love with the cause of marriage and happiness as the longevity of marriage, I think they are both the same.. the toast…….

Paulla Jeffers
Dallas, Texas USA

I wrote this poem for my daughter Jill and her husband, Mike Teigen, an Air Force pilot. My son-in-law to be, Mike, I ask your attention to this plea. Keep this daughter of mine to your side And treat her tenderly. Don’t worry about the material things. Instead, give her your love and respect. Affection, laughs, and attention And never ever neglect To allow her to grow in self Or listen to her ideas and dreams. Instead be one of her support systems Be her partner on this team. Be patient and understanding Take her on picnics and nature walks. Snuggle with her every day Have quiet times and long talks. Have friends over for dinner Friends like those here tonight. Community is so very important Through the good times and in strife. Don’t say hurtful things when angry Pain of harsh words is hard to absolve And spitefulness accomplishes nothing No problem does it solve. Being right brings you no glory If your partner is in pain So when she’s made her point Give her a hug and take some blame. Enjoy this marriage you’re committing to And work at it day and night As if you’re flying without instruments And it will be a great flight! Now, these words to my daughter, Jill For keeping her marriage in the best of tune. Take the same advice I just gave Mike AND always sleep in the nude! I love you both! Mom

Terri, Meet My Friend Tim Terri, Terri, Terri, meet my friend Tim. I seek to advise you, regarding him. The problem is... Where do I begin? His past is questionable, it's hard to deny "I have no recollection", will be his reply. He'll try to convince you that he's always right. He's clever, he's slick, but he doesn't bite. He's cunning, He's brash, and before you know it; He'll be spending your cash. Life with Tim won't always be great, take it from me, I'm his cube mate. He took the plunge, he buckled under, choosing you was no blunder. He does have his fine points, no one can refute. He's fun, he's witty; and you think he's cute. May God bless you and keep you, in your union today. In love, and happy, may you always stay. We Love You! The Brackens.

On a cold winter's day two porcupines huddled together to stay warm. Feeling one another's quills they moved apart. When the need for warm brought them together, Their quills drove them apart. They were driven back and forth at the mercy of their discomforts, Until they found the distance from one another, That provided both a maximum of comfort and a minimum of pain. May your need for warmth be satisfied and your be spared the stab of your lover's quills.

The best toast I ever heard was by the sister and MOH of a friend. She wrote a poem recounting all the planning troubles her sister had gone through in order to organize the event. It was funny and touching, as it reminded me of so many stories my friend had told me over the past year. It was neat to sort of relive those months, seeing that everything had turned out fine.

Dave and Jenny - two police officers getting married: I've known Dave for about for about 12 years because we lived in the same neighborhood and we went to the same all-boys high school. I think it's really funny how Dave and Jenny met: Back in High School, Dave was always trying to get into after-school plays. He kept telling me "the chicks are cute". (...and keep in mind this was an all-boys high school.)So off we went, me and Dave prancing off to Pirates of Penzance. After about two weeks of hard work, I thought "screw this -- I'm going to St. Pauls and hanging out over there". Now here is Dave, getting married; and here *I* am, the best man in his wedding.Dave, you still know where the "cute chicks" hang out at? I've known Jenny for just about as long as I've known Dave. So I guess you can say I've known Dave and Jenny to be together forever. It's kinda hard to imagine you two apart. You two are each others' support system - partners for life. We're all here together to celebrate that.. And on behalf of everyone here, I want to thank you for having us. Now I wanted to say something cute and whitty like "don't go to sleep mad - stay up and fight." But you two are licensed gun collectors. A personal word of advice - keep an extra pair of handcuffs with you especially in the bedroom! marriages are like a hot bath -- after a while there's not so hot In light of that, if everyone can raise their glass and join me in this toast: commitment should last forever; And life can always be this good. But when times are hard and the road is rough, remember the words you spoke today, and remember the way you feel right now and try to forgive, sometimes thats all we have to give. For to love is to learn, and to learn is to forgive. Best wishes to you both, and may your love be long livedTo Dave and Juanita

Dave and I have been best friends for a long time, so long my parents were starting to wonder if we were getting married.
When Dave first asked me to be his best man there was a part of me that felt sad.
I knew that I was losing my best friend and that our friendship would somehow change.
I finally came to the realization that I wasn't losing my best friend but gaining a very special friend, so to Dave and Vicki, may they have a long and wonderful life together, and my they have all the joy and happiness in the world.

Give her Julia Child's culinary expertise, the domestic capability of Molly Maid, the power of understanding and the passion of Marilyn Munroe.

But most of all, give her the gift of knowing when to speak up and when just to nod. AMEN!

Have the bride put one hand on the table, then the groom places one of his hands on top of hers, then her other hand, then his other hand on top. Tell the bride to say "I love you" to the groom, then have the groom say "I love you" to the bride. Ladies and Gentleman, we have just witnessed two things here. We just saw the last time that (groom) will get the last word in, and the last time that (Groom) will have the upper hand.

.........Jack and Robin met in the theater, and today have been married
...........As all of us who have ever worked in the theater and toiled in the name of art know
...............that friendships made under these circumstances are timeless and eternal

I am honored to stand before you on this magnificent day. We should start off by thanking the parents of the bride and groom, for without them this day could not be possible. I remember Chuck at 15 standing up here as my Best Man and how nervous he was making the toast. I remember just a few months later meeting Shannon for the first time. I remember that pretty and very sweet little High School girl and thinking that the two of them made a nice couple. It doesn't seem like that long ago. Chuck; Shannon is a wonderful woman. Shannon; Thank you for making my brother so happy. The love of your parents has brought you this far. May your love for each other carry you forward.
As mine has, may your marriage age like a fine wine.
May your children bring you as much joy as mine have brought me.
May the sparkle that's in your eyes today light your path for years to come.
May God, friends, and family fill your life.
May you know your children's children.
May your hands be forever clasped in friendship and
your hearts forever joined in love.
"May God bless and keep you always
May your wishes all come true
May you always do for others
And let others do for you
May your heart always be joyful
May your song always be sung
And may you stay forever young"
Please stand, raise your glasses and join me in the
first toast to Chuck and Shannon as husband and wife.
We wish them a lifetime of love and happiness.
"They Love Each Other. Lord you can see that it's true."
Shannon and Chuck, We Love You!

Toast to the Bridesmaids

as we gather to celebrate this day
i have just a few things to say

as the sun goes down and fades
i propose a toast to these bridesmaids

all that glitters is not gold
that is what i've been told

but they could be down at mill lake feeding ducks
and they would still look like a million bucks

and when i look at them in forest green
they are the most beautiful l have ever seen

and now i think it would be grand
if you would join me and stand

a kiss to all of them i blow
as i now prepare to go

please raise your glass filled with wine
to these six ladies who look so fine

To the bridesmaids

I remember one night 21 years and 11 months ago. It was my turn to feed my beautiful baby daughter. As I sat there at 3 in the morning, rocking her back to sleep, I thought of the day she would marry and leave her Mom and me. And this made me cry. I loved my daughter and wanted her to be my little girl forever. But Olivia has grown into a beautiful young woman that I am very proud of. I see lots of me and her Mom in her. And over the years others have noticed my girl including a handsome young man named Michael Rouse. I?ve grown to respect and trust Michael. And now I turn over the 3AM feeding to you Michael. Please stand and join me in this, the first toast to Mike and Olivia as HUSBAND AND WIFE!

May you know true happiness and be lovers and friends forever.

The beginning letter in each line spells out "Brotherly Love". BROTHERLY LOVE "Brotherly Love" is a term that we did not use Reflecting back, I think we were to macho to muse Only now do we realize the importance of bonding Though mature enough now we can handle the loving Happy to share this brothers love with his bride Each brother knows we have a small piece inside Regretfully, we didn’t share these thoughts as a child Love is not only a word but a vital emotion You may not survive without the feeling of devotion Life is to short not to cherish it’s lessons Our name is a resource we thrive on for purpose Very fortunate are we to be protected from above Eternal fortitude may come from "Brotherly Love" Dad, Thanks for the name! Mom, Thanks for the life!

Tonight, it is my great honor and privilege to make the first toast to Tim and Cindy as husband and wife. Over the past two days, a few people have asked how long have I known Tim. While some people know that Tim and I went to both high school and college together, it is a little known fact that our first meeting occurred while playing CYO soccer in grade school. Tim played for St. Joe's & John's, I playey for their arch rival, Incarnate Word Academy. During the course of one of our games in the eighth grade, Tim took a free kick just outside our goal. I was one of the defenders that stood in the wall. Rather than opting to put the ball on goal, Tim launched a blistering shot into my thigh. As a result, I had the impression of a soccer ball tatooed on my leg for about a week. While that impression was only temporary, the impression that Tim has made on me as a classmate, teammate, roommate, and friend will last forever. Tim has always been there when I needed him. He is honest and trustworthy...most of the time. In short, Tim is a great guy and he has found a great girl in Cindy. Alas, let us toast Tim and Cindy. May they live a long life together filled with love and laughter. May their joys be many and their troubles few. Congratulations.

My favorite toast was given by my brother-in-law at our wedding.


This is my husband's oldest brother who was of course his best man. His speech went as so.... It took my brother 19 years of beatings, of arguments and of threats for him to figure out who the best man really is. Everyone roared. Once that died down he did turn serious and follow-up his best man speech with... I wish Amy and Jerry nothing but the best. I hope you two have nothing but good times ahead. Always love each other, always respect each and always be there for each other.

Alot of people asked me a couple of months ago if I was surprised that my brother is getting married. To be honest I answered no most of the time. This is due to the fact that my brother has had a girlfriend since the age of 12. Also my brother did not surprise me when he became engaged because in middle school he took a Sex Education class. And when it came time to take the final he studied so hard for that test. He had my father even come upstairs and help him study for the test. He was up all night, I know this because later that night I had to take a leak and he was still up studying for the test. Needless to say that story helps to reinforce my notion of me being not surprised about him getting married.


Anyway, I would like to say that Kim(the bride) is a very beautiful young woman and
I wish them the best of luck in the world.

From the best man to the groom: Well I took Bob to the drugstore today before the ceremony and as we walked past the condom section he had a few questions. "What are all these condoms for", Bob asked. "Well you see that 3 pack there. That's for when your in High School. One for Friday night and two for Saturday night." I respond. "Oh I see," Bob says, "and what is the 6 pack for?" "Well Bob that's for when your in college. 2 for Friday night. 3 for Saturday night and one for Sunday morning." I say. "Ok but then what the heck is the 12 pack for" Bob asks with a confused look on his face. "Oh that's for when you get married. One for January, One for February, One for March....." Ha ha

Anton(Groom), Wanda(Bride), there are those who will tell you that single life is the only way to go, while it can be said that single life is more glitzy and glamorous, it is only flash not substance, you two begin the journey that proves the rewards of marriage are the most valuable. With that said, may your arguments be as long as my New Years resolutions, more importantly may the most you ever wish for be the least you ever receive, and finally to fate that brought you two together, and to love that may keep you happy forever.

A toast from the father of the groom: When you have a young son you hope when he grows up he will marry a girl who is beautiful. Then later on you think maybe he will marry a girl with a good personality. Then you hope maybe he will marry a girl who is smart. But it turns out he is smarter than you think he is and he marries a girl who has all those characteristics. We are very happy for them.

What a great site. I put this toast together mostly with things I found here: I was told I was supposed to give some sort of toast, so…. here’s to me! In all sincerity though, before anyone is toasted (am I too late?), let me first say thank you to Mr. and Mrs. X and to Mr. and Mrs. Y for such a beautiful evening. It’s obvious you’ve put a lot of hard work into this and it’s turned out perfect. Thank you. Now, let me just say that no man is complete until he’s married – now Brian is definitely finished. Actually Brian, you are a very, very lucky man. Emily is a beautiful, intelligent, self-assured woman. And Emily, Brian is… Did I mention that you were a beautiful woman? ...well, at least we didn’t shave his head on you. So with that said, I’m afraid a long sappy poem doesn’t do much for me, so let me just begin with a blessing an end with a toast. A traditional Irish blessing: "May the road rise to meet you May the wind be ever at your back May the sun shine warm upon your face May the rain fall softly upon your fields, And until we meet again May God hold you in the hollow of his hand." And for the toast, as so eloquently put by a fine American…Groucho Marks: "Here's to the prettiest, Here’s to the wittiest, Here's to the truest of all who are true. Here's to the neatest, Here's to the sweetest, Here's to the two of you." Cheers!

WHEN STEVE FIRST ASKED ME TO BE HIS BEST MAN , A LITTLE PART OF ME FELT THAT SOMEHOW OUR FRIENDSHIP WOULD CHANGE. BUT I FINALLY CAME TO THE REALIZATION THAT THE ONLY THING THAT WOULD CHANGE WOULD BE , ME GAINING A VERY SPECIAL FRIEND IN TRACIE. SO TO STEVE AND TRACIE MAY YOU HAVE A LONG AND WONDERFUL LIFE TOGETHER. AND MAY YOU HAVE ALL THE JOY AND HAPPINESS IN THE WORLD. CONGRADULATIONS

When I was given the honor of being the best man, I was besieged by emotions. I was excited at the prospect that my best friend found someone that he wanted to spend his life with and THAT actually wanted to spend her life with him return. I was also proud that he had come to a point in his life where he felt he had it all together and was ready for such a commitment. Lastly, I was terrified, I had to give a speech. (pause) Well, one thing that school taught me was to be prepared. I sought advice from numerous people and I even found advice on the net. Among the advice I was given was opening lines, jokes, what to say, what not to say, and even SAMPLE speeches. Now all the preparation in the world can’t stop the jitters, so please bear with me as I now give my speech and toast. Congratulations! Insert name of bride and groom. Oops! Congratulations, Ken and Debbie! I feel honored to be here to help celebrate this joyous occasion. I am especially honored to be here since I was the one who brought them together. Needless to say, I have known them both for quite a while. It has indeed been a privilege to know Ken these past 14 years, and I don’t think a truer friend can be found as evident in the numerous times that he has been there for me. Even when he was living in Mammoth, I knew I could count on him (pause) for at least a place to stay when I went skiing. Now as he has grown older, I have seen him hit many milestones. He graduated from Cal State Northridge after a long career as a student which lead to a successful career has a computer guy. He has even survived jumping out of a perfectly good airplane, and he has survived guerilla warfare in Newhall (okay, so it was only paintball). But the best milestone of all was that he found Debbie and that Debbie found him. Now I knew Debbie back when she was a camp counselor and the kids called her “Tweety”, and that right there told me that she could put up with Ken. And since Ken was able to put up with Debbie when Duke beat North Carolina at the buzzer for the NCAA championship, I knew that they would be together for a long time. So without further ado, everyone please raise your glass and join me in a toast to Ken and Debbie. Well being is for those that care, Prosperity is for those that try, and Happiness is for those that love. May your life together be the richest blend of all of the above.

My husband said gave this toast to his best friend and bride at their wedding. He was so nervous. He teared up when he practiced the toast. Steve was Jeff like the brother he never had. The best part was at the end when Jeff said: If Steve is half as good as a friend as he is a busband, then Kelli is a truly lucky bride.

With the help of this web site I recently delivered the following speech: Wedding Speech Margaret & Tim - November 14, 1998 Opening: Tonight it is my great honor and privilege to speak to you as Margaret’s Brother and welcome everyone to Margaret & Tim’s Wedding Reception. For my entire family, I would like to thank everyone for being here on this special day and evening. Many people traveled here from far away and we appreciate you taking the time to join us today and tonight. Our family has grown the past few years and especially this year and I am glad to welcome another male into the fold. Dad, I think we have almost evened up the sides and someday we may outnumber them. Thank You: Today is a very special day for Margaret and Tim and I do want to extend a very special thank you to: Father ________ & St. ______________ for a beautiful ceromony today. The Groom's entire Family. We really enjoyed the Rehearsal Dinner last night. Margaret: I would like to tell you a little bit about my sister Margaret now. Enthusiasm, Leadership and Determination are three words that describe Margaret. Margaret enters everything she does with enthusiasm. This allows her to get the most enjoyment possible out of life. Skiing is a skill Margaret has mastered and her enthusiasm for the sport shows in how she describes a typical day on the slopes. ‘Greatest’, ‘Unbelievable’, ‘The Best’, ‘Totally Awesome’, and ‘Kick Ass’ are common terms Margaret has used. I know because I am usually trying to catch my breath while she says these things. She is always enjoying what she does and her enthusiasm spreads to others quickly. We have always loved this quality in Margaret. Margaret is a real strong leader - at Summer Camp she would have the whole cabin and the counselor following her around after just a few hours. This quality has helped Margaret to meet many people and make friends very quickly. Margaret has always been surrounded by friends - Many who are here tonight. I remember seeing Margaret as we were growing up surrounded by close friends - all the time. Margaret is a very determined person - I remember when Margaret graduated early from Homestead High School and left Mom and Dad’s house to go to Paris. At seventeen years old that showed real determination. This characteristic has helped Margaret to see more than many people her age. Everyone in my family has special stories of things we have done with Margaret and cherish the memories. One thing is clear in our family and my sisters and I all agree - Margaret is a terrific sister. Tim and Margaret: Tim and Margaret, we look forward to having many new stories and memories of special moments with you as you begin your life together. We each have some stories already and we will spare you from sharing these at this time. Tim, we welcome you into our family. Margaret we are all very happy for you and your husband today and very proud of you. Irish Blessing: In closing, our family is Irish on our Mother's side and mostly Irish on our Dad's side and I think it’s appropriate to quote this Irish Blessing to Margaret and Tim: “May the road rise to meet you May the wind be ever at your back May the sun shine warm upon your face May the rain fall softly upon your fields, And until we meet again May God hold you in the hollow of his hand.” Please join me toasting the Bride and Groom - Margaret and Tim.

From Doddie's Bridesmaid Gay Wedding December 5th, 1998 Laguna Beach, CA Love is a flower you must carefully tend so may you always be each other's best friend. Tend your love with warm smiles and laughter and may good fortune fill your "ever after". Be a shelter to each other when life is unkind and to each other's "faults", be a little blind. Enjoy the moments both large and small and be it known that all present will help if you fall. May you always be lovers, but most of all friends and share with each other whatever life sends. But when times are hard and things don't go your way remember the words you spoke here today. If everyone would now raise their glasses and join me in a toast....To Kelley and Doddie: We are all here together today to share in celebrating your love and commitment for each other. Best wishes to you both - and may your love be long lived. Cheers!
