Listening, watching, our close friends and family give those expected speeches marking significant events can be the best of times and, the worst of times.
The worst is a long meandering ramble through an embarrassingly miss-matched collection of material. While the best is short: a carefully crafted selection fitting the occasion and the audience. It’s amusing where it needs to be, sincerely heartfelt and essentially, it’s simple.
So, dear reader, without further ado, I give you: 5 engagement toast examples.
The idea behind them was to offer a starting point for people who wanted to write their own engagement party speeches. They could use mine as a template and alter them to suit. Chop bits out. Add bits in. Mix and match until they had the speech they wanted to give.
Do they work for you? Could you, would you, use them with your students?
What do you think? Let me know.
Until next time,
Happy teaching, happy speaking,
Susan
