"So you have been chosen to do the special toast? If you're lucky most of them will be on their first or second cocktail so don't be too nervous about it. Hi, I'm Hazely Lopez from "Hazely Academy of Refinement and Modeling" and I'm here to talk to you about how to toast a wedding party. You first want to think about what you're going to say. You don't want to just get there and start talking. Some of the things you may think about are for example the way you met the bride or the groom or happy antidotes or special memories from the couple and special times that you have shared. Maybe you know how they met, that may be something you want to talk about as well and really it is all about setting that special mood and that special quiet emotion. Remember that in weddings people are very emotional so if you are making a joke you want to make sure that you are using a nice appropriate tone so that anybody that may take it the wrong way does not take it the wrong way. Make sure that you are sincere, honest, and you keep it short and simple. Kiss is the key. So in order to do that I hope you make a great toast and my name is Hazely Lopez from "Hazely Academy of Refinement and Modeling" and may the bride and the groom live a happy long life. Cheers to them."
