Unfortunately, many of us are not the best public speakers. If hundreds of eyes should fall upon you for words of wisdom and congratulations, don't "uuummm..., aaahhh...," and "well...," your way through the special moment. Champagne toasts are cher- ished highlights and definitely merit special thought. Accord- ing to the experts, a toast is the perfect opportunity to express thoughtful sentiments that all too often go unsaid. With the fol- lowing tips your message will come through loud and clear - and, most importantly, from the heart: * Think about what makes the bride and groom so special asindividuals and as a couple; * If you could make one wish of happiness for the couple, what would it be? * Speak to other friends and relatives of the couple, get their input; * Think about what the main message of your toast should be (love, commitment, relation- ships, etc.); * Keep your message brief. It should not take an hour to ex- press your sentiments, - one to three minutes should be suffi- cient; * Touch on a specific experi- ence you have shared with the couple; * Practice reciting the toast several times before the big day. If you heed these few simple tips, toasting the newlyweds should be a joyful and memora- ble experience for all of the guests. Remember, too, thdt a toast should always end on an optimistic note - everyone should be able to look to the fu- ture with love in their hearts!
