As an idea for what to use in a father of bride toast, and following on from what has already been said , consider this.  A question your father once asked you and the answer can serve as a good intro and convey your approval.  For instance, you might say “There was a time when my father turned to me and said ‘what do you think might make you happy when you’re my age?’  I didn’t know.  He waited a bit and said ‘when you spend your life with someone you think is the perfect match for you – your soul mate – you’ll be happy when you’re my age.’  I think Doug and Jane have found that in each other, and I am truly proud to see that what their love has evolved into.”

A quote, say from the bible, if appropriate for you, or a philosopher, can be another good way to start off your father of bride toast.

In most all cases, as I recommend in other pages, a story is never a bad idea.Relaying a story about your little girl growing up can be a tremendous way to tell of a good quality about them to the audience.  This method is really as simple as 1 2 3.  1, start off with the story, right there, as it happened.Say “When Paula was 18 , she figured out how to drive.” Don’t make fun about your daughter, just tell the story.The father of bride toast should then…2, look to derive a quality from her and relate it to the crowd as the reason the two will be happy together.  For example, if the story was how loyal she was, you might say that you know that Laura’s loyal love combined with the groom’s sense of honor will guarantee them a great future together.3, Then, offer a toast. Simply raise your wine glass and say “From all of us today , I offer a toast to David and Kristi’s happiness and love forever.”

No matter what you say, as the father, you serve to provide a tremendous amount of approval to the new couple, something that will resonate with them until the end of their lives.Some fathers are gruff, and their relationship with their daughter or even more common, their son can serve to reiterate the necessity for being tough in all matters of life, because you want your boy to learn not to be swallowed up by life .Now this certainly isn’t the framework for everyboy , but I do think it is in use for many families.  If this is the case or not, on this important and special day, let that guard down a little, just enough to let your son or daughter know that you are proud of them.  This can make a world of difference to them long after their wedding.
