A Toast-Ideas To help You With Your Toast or Speech

We were invited to be guests of honor at an event and it required making a speech and a toast.  We knew it had to be special so we did some research and came up with these quotes that we thought were worthy of sharing with you – for your next event . . . a TOAST!

May you never lie, steal, cheat or drink.
But if you must lie, lie in each other's arms.
If you must steal, steal kisses.
If you must cheat, cheat death.
And if you must drink, drink with us, your friends.
