The role of a witness at a wedding is one of the most honorable. A large number of responsibilities fall on his shoulders. First of all, it is helping the bride and groom in any situation. Witnesses adjust their dress, hairstyle and makeup. The witnesses keep the wedding rings and participate in the bride price.
Among other things, the witnesses also need to make a congratulatory speech. Their words are among the first to be heard. Friends don’t just say beautiful words, they support the couple and try to wish the maximum number of positive moments.
Congratulations to the newlyweds from a witness
The role of witness is often played by one of the closest people on the groom’s side. This could be a relative or friend. If you are chosen as a witness, it means you are trusted and respected.
You need to prepare in advance the speech you will give at the wedding celebration. It shouldn't be too long. The speech time limit does not exceed 3 minutes.
Otherwise, everyone will simply get bored of listening to your monologue.
- Dear newlyweds. Today, a large number of wishes and congratulations are addressed to you; a huge number of gifts lie in front of you. It would seem that everything has already been given and said, but no. I want to give you glasses of love (the witness takes out two painted iron mugs). I would like to wish you the same strong and lasting family life. May your relationship only grow stronger over the years. Please note that the glasses will never break. So may your love be eternal.
- Olga and Artem, on this day you have already heard the words bitterly. And I want to say it in a new way, let’s say “Sweet.” May your love be sweet, always have a honeymoon. May sweet feelings surround your entire family. Only sweet and interesting events happen in life.
- Newly married couple and all the guests, let's pour some wine into our glasses and raise them higher. Pay attention to your drink. The wine is beautiful, sparkling, bitter and sweet at the same time. So is our life. It can be completely different. It is often imbued with interesting and varied colors and sensations. I would really like to wish your life and love to unfold over the years. Let life only become better and more expensive, like good wine.
Types for the witness
It's no secret that congratulatory toasts come in different forms. Which option should the witness choose? There are several classifications of congratulations of this type. They are divided according to the form of writing.
Toasts in verse
This option is ideal for those who have acting and, of course, poetic abilities.
. The latter are needed to compose a rhymed text, and the former are needed for its vivid reading. It is worth noting that in this case it is possible to do without poetic inclinations, since toasts for the witness in verse are available on the Internet, as well as in specialized publications. But no one will perform the speech for you, so try to do it in such a way that the newlyweds and guests will remember your congratulations for a lifetime.
Toasts in prose
This version of congratulations is classic
, however, it should not be confused with boring and monotonous.
Prose speech is preferred mainly by those who, for some reason, do not like poetry or simply do not want to learn them. Despite the fact that poetic speech is much more melodic and easy to hear, a toast in prose can also be beautiful and expressive
. After all, the main thing is not the form, but the content. Congratulatory toasts of a witness can also be classified by content.
Classic congratulations
They are suitable for witnesses who do not want to use irony. In such a toast, the witness can include standard congratulations and wishes.
The main thing is to make sure that it is not banal and boring. You can add a little creativity even to a classic congratulation.
Cool congratulations
Comic toasts go “with a bang” at any holiday. A wedding ceremony is no exception, so the witness can add a little irony to his speech. True, he should not forget that humor should be appropriate, kind and warm
. Otherwise, there is a risk of insulting and offending the bride and groom or the guests present at the event. If you are not sure that the heroes of the occasion will like your jokes, it is better to refuse to use them. This version of congratulations, like the previous one, can be either in verse or in prose.
Georgian
This type of congratulations is always very popular. It combines qualities such as wisdom and irony. Such a toast begins with a beautiful or humorous legend, and ends with a philosophical saying and an invitation to drink to something or someone. From the description of the contents of this type of congratulation it is clearly seen that it is ideal for a witness
.
Short
Such toasts can be used both when presenting a gift and when making a dinner speech. Here everything depends on the preferences of the witness who is going to congratulate the newlyweds in this way. They can be both in poetry and in prose.
Wedding toast from a witness
The bride independently chooses who will become her confidant and assistant at the special event. Most often the choice falls on childhood friends or sisters.
When making your choice, choose the person with whom you will be most comfortable, who can really help and, in case of awkward situations, correct the problem.
In addition to helping the bride, the witness makes a solemn speech.
- Dear newlyweds. I am glad that I was lucky enough to witness the main family celebration this year. On this day you became a real family and a full-fledged unit of society. A long and interesting road awaits you ahead. As everyone knows, there are different paths. I would like to wish your road to be smooth, sunny, full of pleasant people and events. Let there be fewer bumps, holes and potholes. Be happy.
- I would like to say a few words about wealth. Congratulations have already been heard several times. Wealth, as many believe, is a large amount of money. I would like a young family to consider each other and their relationships as their main wealth. Only then will you be able to unite and achieve unprecedented heights in your life.
- Weather is a changeable and unpredictable thing. One day it rains, the next the bright sun comes out. Everything can change in exactly one moment. Let there always be sunny weather in your home, which is formed thanks to the rays of goodness and love. And if there is a blizzard or rain outside, then know how to warm each other and support each other in difficult times.

Let them live and prosper, let there be growth in the family!
Dear ones, congratulations! This toast is in your honor!
- Toast presentation is very original
. Any of the witnesses can prepare it. You need to select photographs from the past life of the bride or groom, which capture moments from different periods of life, including those relating to friendly communication with the witness.
Each slide can be equipped with beautiful comic congratulations from witnesses, and the show can be accompanied by beautiful music. The last slide could be with wedding symbols and the inscription: “Let’s raise our glasses to the newlyweds!” or something similar. If the witnesses know each other and communicated before the wedding, they can prepare such a toast together.
- A parable toast from a witness is always well received by both newlyweds and guests. For a witness, this version is suitable: “They say that when creating women, God put a piece of sugar in each one so that they would be sweet for men.
A parable for a witness: “One old man asked for Friendship, Love and Wealth to come into his house. He only had one free seat. He decided that in his old age he no longer needed Wealth and Love and let Friendship in.
And she brought Love and Wealth. I am glad to be a witness at this wedding, because I am connected with them by Friendship! Let’s drink so that there will always be Love, Wealth, and many friends in their home!”

And let them remember to light the fire of their love every evening and night.

Recommendations
When preparing your congratulatory speech, use the following tips.
- Begin your congratulations with words expressing your attitude towards the newlyweds. Next, you need to focus on the fact that the newlyweds are made for each other. You can end your speech with gratitude for being entrusted with such an important role at the festival.
- Try to mention some interesting moments from the life of the newlyweds that would characterize the feelings of the spouses towards each other. This could be, for example, some funny incident. There is no need to go into details of the relationship, you just need to emphasize that the newlyweds are suitable for each other.
- Speak sincerely and in your own manner. It is advisable to exclude book phrases. Put all your feelings into your speech. There is no need to speak in a memorized text, although using a paper prompt is quite acceptable.
- Don't forget about brevity. Two sentences are not enough, but a long text will quickly get boring, besides, the holiday time is limited, and all the guests want to congratulate.

Let's try to continue to gather as often as possible and for no reason.
