Party Planning 101:
Wedding Toasts
Wedding Toast Sample

There’s a legend at Tufts, where they met, you see,
Kiss under Bowen’s Gate….and married, you’ll be.
So up to Boston, They both went,
A marriage proposal…his intent.
He took her again to the famed Bowen’s Gate,
To ask Allison to be his wife, lover and mate.
A wedding date was set….what a thrill,
The night before it, Lori fell ill.
Wedding’s postponed,
They spread the news,
But, what the heck, why give up the wedding cruise?
They thought that going would be for the best,
And happily, Lloyd passed the “honeymoon test.”
Marathons to run, Kilimanjaro to climb,
Diving in the Seychelles….ain’t life divine?
The world’s greatest surgeon,
Unlike any other,
Well, what’d you expect?….after all, I’m his mother.
He’s compassionate, witty: a golf club he swings,
He celebrates life and all that it brings.
Planning the wedding……how would they cope?
They thought the best idea was just to elope.
I started to cry,
Tho it wasn’t my style,
It was my right to see her walk down the aisle.
I ranted and raved…it would just have to be,
I didn’t care what it entailed….they had to do it for me!
