Add Some Celtic Humour to Your Wedding Day With an Irish Toast

Your wedding is a day to remember and it's the attention to detail that can make your special day stand out from all others.

No doubt one of your main concerns is to ensure an enjoyable wedding service and reception for all of your family and guests. After the formality of the wedding service, the reception is a fun time where you and your guests can eat, drink and be merry. A big part of this is the speeches and toasts which, when done right, can be both warm and funny.

Unfortunately, many wedding organisers stick with the traditional speech and toasts without considering some of the alternative options now gaining popularity. One of these is Irish toasts which can inject an extra dose of fun and humour to your perfect day.

The good thing about Irish toasts, is that you dont need to be Irish to appreciate them. Anyone who is not Irish can, and most of the time will, fully appreciate the Irish sense of humor and sentimentality. And lets not forget the touch of the blarney that can sometimes creeps into Irish toasts as well. In fact it is this which makes some Irish toasts unforgettable.

And when you take Irish toasts for weddings, there is simply nothing more enjoyable. (And dont forget to keep the champagne flowing!) With so many people wanting to toast the couple (any excuse to chug one down!), you can be sure that the champagne will flow readily and steadily.

For all that however, the Irish are a sentimental people and they know how to make the most of an occasion such as a wedding. You can be sure that along with the hankies, smiles will be breaking out. Not to mention the completely unpronounceable Celtic (Irish), which will bring a smile to your lips even if you dont understand it!

However, this is what makes Irish toasts something to be treasured, and it just goes to show that the old ways are not dying, just growing stronger, and changing into something else, much in the manner of a butterfly emerging from its cocoon.

If you have ever listened to Irish toasts you would have found that quite a few of them begin with the completely unpronounceable Slinte (try pronouncing it as: Slaw-in-tche), which means good health. The good portion of this is implied, with the actual Slinte meaning health.

Examples of a few good Irish toasts would be something like this: Slinte; Slinte agus saol agat meaning Good health and long life to you; Slinte chuig na fir, agus go mairfidh na mn go deo meaning, Health to the men, and may the women live forever!

Those were only a taste of some of the more common Irish toasts. There are many other such Irish toasts, and you will find that not all of these begin, (or even end!), with Slinte. For example you might hear this sometimes, May your grass always be green, may your skies forever blue, may God bless the Irish, and may God bless you!

There are other good Irish toasts and if the need arises you should be able to find a book containing these. Otherwise for now, May the luck of the Irish be with you, may the devil fly off with your worries, and may God bless you forever and ever.
