anniversary toast

Yearly milestone salute

An anniversary toast is a short speech honoring a couple or occasion on its yearly milestone, typically delivered while raising a glass.

The speaker offers well-wishes, reflects on the relationship or achievement being celebrated, and invites others to drink: He gave a heartfelt anniversary toast to his parents on their fiftieth.
