A
Simple
Traditional
Wedding
Toast
Good evening, everyone —
For those of you I haven’t yet met, I’m Sarah Mitchell, and I have the honour of watching these two
promise their lives to each other tonight.
People say a marriage is built on the great days — the day you met, the day you proposed, today. But if
you watch
Emily and Daniel
closely, the truth is quieter. It’s built on ordinary days. The way she finishes
his sentences before he can. The way he reaches for her hand in a crowded room without looking. The
way their laughter still finds each other across a table full of friends.
Love that lives in the ordinary is the love that lasts. And today they have chosen each other — not for one
perfect moment, but for all the quiet ones that follow. There is nothing in the world more worth
celebrating than that.
So I ask each of you to stand, raise your glass, and join me in this oldest of wishes:
To
Emily
and
Daniel
.
May your love be a shelter in every storm and a celebration in every calm.
May your table always be full, and your hearts fuller still.
May you laugh often, forgive easily, and never fall asleep cross with one another.
May you grow old together, hand in hand — and never grow apart.
To
love
,
to
laughter
,
and
to
forever
.
Cheers
—
to
the
happy
couple
!
To make this one yours: pencil your own touches into the margins, practise it aloud twice,
and remember — the best toasts are always a little too short, never a little too long.
