There will be plenty of people
at Brad and Angelina’s wedding as well as any other upcoming celebrity wedding
that will have had some help in writing their toast for the famous couple!
Do Some Research
Search your library or even the Internet for some great quotes on weddings to
sort of incorporate into your speech. You don’t have to do something overly
tacky or sentimental if that is not your personality, but there are some great
sentiments that can help you express your thoughts, feelings, and happiness for
the new couple. Most famous people have toasts and speeches prepared for them,
and when you do some research you are basically using something old or something
you’ve found elsewhere to really help you say what you need to say in an elegant
way! Unfortunately, most of us do not have script writers on hand to help us
write a toast, so the best thing you can do is look up some great toasts that
have been used in history.
Here are some great famous toasts:
"Grow old with me!
The best is yet to be,
The last of life,
For which, the first is made."
--Robert
Browning
"I drink to the general joy of the whole table."
-- William Shakespeare,
from Macbeth
"But here's the joy: my friend and I are one...
Then she loves but me alone!"
-- William Shakespeare
"To every lovely lady bright,
I wish a gallant faithful knight;
To every faithful lover, too,
I wish a trusting lady true."
-- Sir
Walter Scott
"Tis better to have loved and lost
than to never have loved at all"
-- Alfred, Lord Tennyson

Use What You Know
If you know that the couple really likes a certain poet, look at some of the
poems by the poet, and see if you can’t somehow incorporate a line or a thought
of the poet. This is what many famous people do because it shows that they
really thought about the couple when planning their toast, instead of just
writing something really generic. Using what you know is always the best idea,
and if you don’t know much, well then you just have to sort of wing it, but
using sayings from history or from famous authors or other celebrities is a
great idea. It’s very hard to find actual celebrity wedding toasts that have
been used in the past because these things are usually kept private, but look
for sayings on love, marriage, and living a happy, healthy life.
Some Ideas
A couple of ideas are written below to help you start thinking in the right
direction. Remember that toasts usually are a bit silly, so get in the right
frame of mind, and start planning how you will give your celebrity-esque toast!
Below are two commonly used toasts that have undoubtedly been used for
celebrities past and present.
Idea #1: Coming together is a beginning; keeping together is
progress; working together is success.
Idea #2: Seek a happy marriage with wholeness of heart, but do not
expect to reach the Promised Land without going through some wilderness
together.
These ideas should give you some idea of what you are aiming for. Remember
that even the most practiced celebrity plans for any and all public appearances
and speaking, so plan for yours to make sure that your thoughts come out as well
thought out as they should be!
