Let us lift our glasses and salute our beautiful bridesmaids. They were like flowers as they surrounded the Bride today. It was truly beauty surrounding beauty. I salute the love and affection between them and the Bride and I am curious as to if any of them have any plans for next weekend? To the Bridesmaids! Cheers.

A toast to the groom. He has shown us all his wisdom and his good taste in the selection of his bride, and his understanding of reality in his selection of me as the best man. Even though I may be the best, today he has shown that it is he has the most luck.

To the Bride and Groom. Never go to bed angry - always stay up and argue! Cheers.

Lift your glasses with me and toast the Bride. When that great Greek philosopher of olden days, Socrates, was asked his opinion of marriage, he replied, "By all means marry, if you get a good wife, you will be happy. If you get a bad one, you'll become a philosopher." To not only a good wife, but the best. Cheers.

Here is to my daughter and her new husband. Raise your glasses and remember this truth, her lucky man and I have each gained something this fine and blessed day. He gains a wife and a companion for life, while I gain a whole new stack of bills to pay.

They say that a measure of one's life is the company they surround themselves with. Looking around this room, I can see that my life is truly blessed. I want to thank all of you for being part of our special day, but even more importantly, thank you for being part of our lives. Our days are so much more rich because of your presence. To all of you!

To the bride and groom, may the love you share today be one day seen as small, compared to the love you will feel ten years from now, fifty years from now. May you continue to grow in love and as individuals and may this day just be the start of how big your love can grow.

To the lamp of love - may it burn brightest in the darkest hours and never flicker in the winds of trial.

May the roof above you never fall in and may you both never fall out.

May the best day of your past be the worst day of your future.

My greatest wish for the two of you is that through the years your love for each other will so deepen and grow, that years from now you will look back on this day, your wedding day, as the day you loved each other the least.
