When I saw this article I had to post it word for word in the link below. We've all seen more than our share of drunken toasts, loooong stories by the best man/younger brother about the fights that broke out when the masking tape line down the middle of the room was crossed. Stories about outrageous college parties, sloppy confessions and ex girlfriend remembrances should never make it into a wedding toast. For those that don't have a planner on site to preempt such unwelcome speeches (ahem...me) this is a must read.
