When did people start giving wedding toasts? Any idea? It wasn't until recently. That surprises many people. In spite of the recency of the tradition, the tradition seems to have taken hold. And now many people within the wedding party are expected to give toasts. Toasts can be solemn or funny. And they're a great chance to wish the couple well.

When did people start giving wedding toasts? Any idea? It wasn't until recently. That surprises many people. In spite of the recency of the tradition, the tradition seems to have taken hold. And now many people within the wedding party are expected to give toasts. Toasts can be solemn or funny. And they're a great chance to wish the couple well.

Let me level with you. It can be tough to give a toast. Some people just wing it, and give a toast off the top of their heads. But most people are far too conscientious to take such a flippant attitude toward this responsibility. Most want to do a good job. Well, I don't have any good long toasts for you in this article, but I do have some funny lines you could work in.

Here are some funny thoughts:

1. To marriage . . . a word that means commitment . . . to an insane asylum.

2. Getting married for sex is like buying a meal for the free mint.

3. I was married by a judge. I should have asked for a jury -- Groucho Marx

4. If a man says something in the forest, and his wife is not there to hear him, is he still wrong?

5. If you see a man open the car door for his wife, it's either a new car . . . or a new wife.

6. Women. They try to change you for years, and then they complain that you're not the man they married.

7. "If you want to sacrifice the admiration of many men for the criticism of one, go ahead, get married." -Katharine Hepburn

Use these alone, or weave them into a longer toast. Or don't use them at all. Just use them to get yourself thinking along the right lines. You'll do great! If you're a guy, you'll leave the bridesmaids swooning. If you're a girl, you'll leave everyone crying happy tears.
