Using these guidelines, you can reflect on your personal experiences with the engaged couple to create a toast that will be a highlight of the engagement party.

1. First, talk about how you know the couple.

I met Donald in the third grade.

2. Describe your relationship.

We've been best friends ever since.

3. Describe the personality traits of each the groom and bride to be that make them a special match.

I knew Kristina and Donald were a perfect match when he brought her camping with the guys. We gave her a hard time, but she laughed with us the entire time.

4. Describe positive changes in the groom or bride that have occurred since they were together.

Donald and Kristina really bring out the best in each other; they're always teaching each other new things. Donald taught Kris how to rock climb and Kris taught Donald pretty much everything else.

5. Consider adding a piece of marital advice that you've learned or received.

As you know, I'm a bachelor, but I know that if there's anything that makes for a lasting relationship it is a strong friendship.

6. Consider telling an anecdote or inserting a love poem or engagement saying (either humorous or heartfelt) into the engagement toast.

There's a saying, "A friend is someone who knows us, but loves us anyway." I've noticed that Donald and Kris are two people who are really interested in getting to each other. May you two never stop learning about each other, love each other anyway, and always remain best friends.

7. Call everyone to toast the happy couple:

Please raise your glasses with me as we celebrate the engagement of two wonderful people: Kristina and Donald.
