wedding toasts
Champagne glass speeches
Wedding toasts are short speeches given at wedding receptions, typically by the best man, maid of honor, or close family members.
The speaker raises a glass and offers words honoring the couple—anecdotes, well-wishes, or gentle roasts—before guests drink together: The best man's toast had everyone in tears.
The plural often refers to this portion of the reception as a whole: We'll do the toasts after dinner.
