Classiness is the key to best man and groomsman toasts.

I had the pleasure of accompanying my husband to his best friend’s wedding in Juneau, Alaska this past week. The hubby not only officiated the ceremony (apparently in Alaska anyone can marry a couple) but also was the best man.

A bit of advice to all the men out there writing best men or groomsman toasts for friend’s weddings…choose your words wisely. You may be tempted to go the route of recanting tales of past exploits, drunken debauchery, and general guy shenanigans. Though they seem like a good idea when you’re talking toasts with your friends, the groom’s family, fiancée and fiancée’s family may not appreciate your story of mistakenly marrying a cocktail waitress in Vegas.

The one who you can really impress with your toast-making skills is your very own lady. My husband’s witty & sentimental toast, made me fall in love with him all over again. It also helps that he mentioned me a few times in the speech…Cheers!
