Beautiful parables are always listened to with special pleasure and awe at a wedding banquet. They are instructive stories with deep meaning. For many peoples, a parable toast is a mandatory attribute at a banquet.
It is pronounced, as a rule, by adults and wise people. They share their wisdom with special prudence. It is always pleasant and interesting to listen to stories, because there is no falsehood in them. They are full of lightness and airiness. These are not just words, these are fairy tales that are taken very seriously and carefully by every guest.
Eastern wisdom
Most often, when people talk about teachings during a celebration, oriental toasts come to mind, usually beginning with the words “Somewhere high, high in the mountains.” That is why I would like to start with Eastern wisdom.
Parables for weddings usually teach young people from their parents how to behave in the family, how to properly build relationships between spouses. Here is one of the interesting variants of such teaching:
“Once the Sultan was asked: “Listen, there are always enemies at your borders, sometimes there is not enough bread in the state to feed everyone, but at the same time there is no unrest. How do you manage to maintain peace and quiet?” To which the bishop replied with a smile: “When I lose my temper, my people are calm, when they are unhappy, I am calm. In other words, they reassure me, and I reassure them.” Any family is a small state, with its own rules and division of responsibilities. So let peace and tranquility always remain in your state.”
A long time ago
Sometimes long and serious congratulations can tire impatient newlyweds. Therefore, you need to think about how to keep the parable for the newlyweds short but succinct. In this case, you can use a reference to distant times.
“The word “spouse,” as they say, came to us from the ancient Greek language. Surprisingly, it means a harness of oxen. At first glance, it is not clear why a young family is compared to beasts of burden, but in reality everything is simple. Spouses, like oxen, should be in the same harness, endure the mundanity of family life together, and relax together. So may you always be there."
What do parents say?
Instructions or congratulations from parents in the ceremony of handing over the family hearth are not required ; sometimes the lighting of candles occurs accompanied by the words of only the leader or simply accompanied by music. If the parents (mothers) of the bride and groom wish to contribute to the ceremony, time is allocated in advance for parting words or congratulations.
Additionally : Another popular ritual that came to us from the West is the sand ceremony . Read about how to organize it here .
When parents (mothers) address the newlyweds, they must include words about mutual care, about maintaining the warmth of the family fire, about transferring the responsibility to keep its light from the older generation to the younger . The musical theme for the parting words of the parents of the bride and groom is selected individually.
Convenient ceremony design option:
- The mother of the bride lights the candle first , gives parting words to her daughter, giving her to another family;
- the groom's mother lights her candle next and greets her daughter-in-law, accepting her into her family;
- The presenter adds a few phrases about uniting the fires of two families and the mother simultaneously lights the newlyweds’ candle .
Just for fun
What's a wedding without humor? Usually funny parables about love for a wedding are short - they dilute the pomp of the celebration with a note of sincere fun. Here's one example:
“The already middle-aged couple celebrated their diamond wedding. Of course, they were asked how they were able to withstand such a long family life. To which the husband replied that it was all because of the single bed on which they slept: even after quarrels, they were forced to cuddle with each other at night. So let this family have a narrow bed that guarantees them a long but happy marriage.”
In your hands
Beautiful wedding parables can amazingly change the mood of guests and newlyweds. After correctly spoken words, triumph may subside for a short while, pondering them, and, probably, this is the most important goal of any teaching - to make you think.
There is one very famous moving, albeit a little sad story. “In one distant land there lived a man who knew exactly everything, everything, even how many stars there were in the sky. One day a young couple came to him, determined to prove that not everything can be known to a person. The husband held a butterfly in his clenched palms: if the man had said that it was alive, the young man would have crushed it; If he declared her dead, he would release a moth. When the couple asked what was hidden in their palms, the sage answered with a smile that they were hiding a butterfly from him. And whether it flutters out into the wild or falls crushed into the grass depends only on them. Family happiness, like a fragile butterfly, is only in your hands.”
Wedding instructions for newlyweds
In order for your honeymoon to last five years, you will have to follow a complex and harsh code:
Order to the groom

Order to the bride
And now, without interruption, we will talk about (name of the bride), so that we can warn her from future mistakes:
- Learn to cook deliciously, in any style and manner, so that, say, a cabbage leaf looks just like a grape.
- Spend a third of your budget on relatives and tailors - if you are dressed fashionably, your husband will be happy, as will the groom.
- If you sometimes don’t agree with your spouse’s opinion, be as resilient as a twig, don’t say no or yes.
- If your husband is tired or upset, calm him down and caress him so that he becomes calm again and let him rest a little.
- Never be strict, just, as if by chance, skillfully removing the shavings, plan little by little.
- Don’t persist in the sense of shavings, always be nice to him, be your wife and girlfriend, and not a rusty saw.
- Give three-quarters of the day to your family, but in the midst of days, hours, minutes, don’t forget your friends.
- Be strong, your friendly family will always be loved. Long life and health to you. Be happy, friends!
Let's drink to...
In any case, there will be a lot of congratulations at the celebration. Monotonous wishes for happiness and health can be diluted by a toast-parable for a wedding. You can choose either a serious instructive story or something lighter and more fun - this will definitely be remembered by your guests.
“One ruler had a harem. One day he called his adviser to him and said that he wanted to reward him for such a long and faithful service and therefore allows him to choose any woman from the harem as his wife. The adviser, without thinking twice, chose three. He approached the first one and asked: “What is two plus two?” “Three,” the woman immediately responded, to which the adviser decided that she was very economical. The second one answered without hesitation: “Four,” but the adviser noted her extraordinary intelligence. The third woman said: “Five,” and the adviser appreciated her generosity. What kind of woman did he take as his wife? After the story has been told, everyone present at the celebration offers their options; after listening to them, the congratulator happily sums it up: “And he took the most beautiful one! So let’s drink to our beautiful ladies!”
Crystal Heart
With the clinking of glasses, loud cries of “Bitter” and lively jokes from the toastmaster, you want a story that will remind guests of the tenderness and fragility of the family, of the amazing and trembling feeling that arose between young people. A charming parable for newlyweds at a wedding, telling about a crystal master.
“In one city there lived a master who made toys exclusively from crystal. They were extraordinarily beautiful and cost a fortune, but the master gave them away for nothing to all the surrounding children. Of course, the fragile crystal could not withstand the children’s lively games and broke, which greatly upset the children. One day, parents of children came to the master and asked why give careless children something that was so easy to break. To which he replied with a smile: “One day your children will be given a gift that is much more fragile than crystal - the heart of a loved one. And then they will already be able to treat him as they should.” Remember that your lover’s heart is crystal, don’t break it with a careless move!”
Wishes touching to tears
Funny and humorous wishes are not always appropriate at a celebration.
Sometimes you want to hear more sentimental and touching speeches .
1 toast option
A long time ago, young spouses decided to find out what real happiness is. To do this, the sage told them that it was necessary to tear off a piece of the shirt of an absolutely happy person. They went to the villages. The couple approached people and asked if they felt absolutely happy?
One answered that he lacked money, another answered that he lacked love, and the third answered that he lacked health. The couple were completely desperate. And then they saw a young man lying on a green lawn and singing songs loudly. The husband and wife approached him and asked him to tear off a piece of his shirt.
Then the young man laughed loudly and said that he did not have it. Let's raise our glasses to the newlyweds who don't have to chase other people's happiness. Remember that you need to find yours and not let go of it throughout your life.
Toast option 2
A very rich man had the most beautiful wife in the world. His friend was jealous of him and claimed that he had the easiest life, because life was carefree and happy. Then the rich man invited a friend to stay with him for a few days.
The man ordered his cook to serve only sweet dishes, pastries and cakes. A few days later, the friend begged for something salty or spicy.
Let's drink to the fact that young people's lives will have everything: both sweet and spicy. At the same time, everything was balanced and there were no spices.
A little bit of pepper
Sometimes young people forget that family life is not only boundless happiness. A wedding congratulation parable can remind them of this: nevertheless, such teachings are an excellent way to convey to newly-made spouses the secrets of life together.
“One very rich man in his old age married a beautiful young girl. The young wife tried in every possible way to please her husband, but very soon he began to complain about the boredom and monotony of life, about being tired of it. The man’s friend was amazed: “How can this be! Your wife is charming, she is ready to do anything for you!” The rich man with a smile invited him to stay for lunch. Chocolate, Turkish delight, cookies, marmalade, and cakes were served on the table. The friend was surprised by such a choice of dishes, but tried one, another, third, fourth... not even an hour had passed before he begged: “I can’t eat sweets anymore! Give me something else." The rich man handed him wine: “You see, even sweets get boring.” So let family life for our young people be spicy, piquant, salty, but in no case bitter!”

Flowers of life
But endless parables about love are not what you want to listen to all evening: young people will understand everything after the third or fourth congratulations. So what else do they want at weddings? It is right that the family grows larger as soon as possible. For such a wish, you can use this parable:
“One sculptor created extraordinarily beautiful sculptures - they were so realistic that they seemed alive. God decided to reward him and promised to breathe life into any two works that the master chooses. The sculptor created a man and a woman of extraordinary beauty, who, upon coming to life, immediately fell in love with each other. But over time, the master noticed that they became sad, that they were missing something in the world. One day they came to the sculptor and asked him for happiness. After much thought, he sculpted... a child from the material remaining after creating the pair. Real happiness is in children - let it appear to you as soon as possible!”

Advice from elders
An excellent parable of congratulations on a wedding can be heard from the parents of the couple. A little humor and a huge amount of warmth will pleasantly please both the newlyweds and the guests of the celebration.
“I remember the first time my little son returned from kindergarten in torn clothes - he had a fight with one of the children. Then I sternly told him that this would be the last time. Several years passed, he brought his first bad mark from school, to which, scolding him, I repeated again, so that this would be the last time. Today my son is getting married for the first time. And the only thing I want to tell him now is: “So that this is the last time!”
Breaking patterns
And the most amazing gift may not be the stereotyped wisdom found by the toastmaster or guests on the Internet, but a parable for the newlyweds at the wedding, telling their own story. You can start with the bride: “In one house there lived a girl who loved to read, wanted to be a lawyer, loved to walk around the city and look at the stars, could not live without films about bright and pure love and was still waiting for her one and only,” then it is added that - about the groom: “And a boy lived not far from her; he had been fond of football since childhood, studied well, and was thinking of becoming a doctor. He was also very well-mannered, gallant and polite. And one day he saw that very same girl. And I fell in love with her at first sight.”
Of course, you can tell anything here: the story of acquaintance and relationships. And you can end with the wedding itself, while wishing that your future life will be as fabulous as all the parables about love heard today.
