Sherry and I can’t stop talking about how good the toasts were at my cousin Casey’s wedding in Dallas (Wedding Crashing pics to come…). There were five in total (two groomsmen, two bridesmaids and my other cousin, the bride’s teenage brother) and each was remarkably funny, articulate and touching. Most weddings are lucky enough to have one of those, let alone a handful. So in that spirit, we think this week’s prize from Mikasa Crystal & Dinnerware is quite fitting.
Mikasa’s been dishing out classic and stylish servingware for over 60 years (perhaps they were even on your wedding registry?) so we were stoked when they contacted us to offer up some free goodies for you our lovey readers. This week we’re serving up prizes to three lucky winners from Mikasa’s new Cheers Too line of glassware. Each set of four crystal drinking glasses features simple, modern designs that just make you wanna throw a dinner party. With lots of “beverages” on hand, of course.
- PRIZE: Your choice of the Cheers Too White Wine, Double Old Fashioned, or Highball Set of Four by Mikasa
- TO ENTER: Comment on this post with the words “I’ll DRINK TO THAT” and…
- BONUS QUESTION: Tell us about a memorable toast you’ve heard (or given!) and what made it great. We could all use a few good toastmaster tips, right?
- CONTEST CLOSES: Wednesday, August 26th at 8pm EST
- NUMBER OF WINNERS: Three
- PRIZE SHIPS: United States only this time.
- THE USUAL: One entry per e-mail address is permitted. The winners will be selected using random.org and announced on Thursday. Good luck!

I’LL DRINK TO THAT! My father-in-law gave a funny and memorable toast at our wedding that I will always remember -mostly because he reminded his son that I was his new boss. :)
Leslie says
I’ll DRINK TO THAT…
I am planning my wedding, so I feel this question comes a little too soon for me to answer! :)
Annie says
I’LL DRINK TO THAT!
My father-in-laws speech at our wedding was hilarious. It ended with our dog Max (a little yorkie) making an appearance, tux and all! My mother-in-law bought the outfit at build-a-bear.
Angie says
I’ll drink to that!
We already have this exact set of double old fashioned glasses and I love them…got them as a Christmas gift.
The best toast was at my wedding by my brother-in-law,it was so touching and emotional. It was one of my favorite moments from the day.
Ashley M says
I’LL DRINK TO THAT!
Bought the champagne glasses for my friend for her 21st birthday — everyone loved them and I almost kept them for myself :)
Alisa S says
Ill drink to that!
My husband and I just moved into a new home…and after a long weekend of major home decorating projects (you’d be so proud of me) I would love to sit on our deck, overlooking the ocean, toasting to a great life together with one of those beautiful white wine glasses!
Deanna L. says
I’ll DRINK TO THAT
The toast that my matron of honor gave at my wedding a little over four years ago. She had the crowd laughing & crying – it was very moving for me.
Kristin says
I’ll drink to that!
The best toasts are the ones where everyone can share in the reasons for the celebration and tangibly feel the excitement.

“I’ll DRINK TO THAT”
My cousin gave the toast at her sisters wedding and totally finked her sister out to her new hubby john about when they first started dating that she was also dating another guy john at the time. i remember this one part vividly she said “it was easy for candis not to mess up the names, but it was difficult to know which john was calling.”
Megan says
I’ll drink to that!
Last summer my friend’s dad gave a toast about the weight one’s only daughter’s spousal decision carries…and how relieved he was to find her new husband’s parents had a yellow lab, too. It was hilarious — if only because this always-joking man seemed on the verge of going all serious on us. :)
Donita says
“I’ll Drink to that” I have no idea on a toast…….can’t remember my own name, so would never remember a toast. ;-) hee hee
Lindsey says
I’ll drink to that! My favorite toasts were at my wedding!
Sam says
I’ll drink to that!
I wish I had a great toast story to offer up, but nothing specifically spectacular comes to mind. However, I am attending two weddings within the next month and a half so maybe I’ll hear something good!
Kay says
I’LL DRINK TO THAT!! One of our favorite toasts is “may all the stones you step on be diamonds; may your house always be a home; and may your hot nights have nothing to do with the weather! Another one that we like, for our older male friends’ birthdays, is “here’s to your ability to have the agility to take your virility into your
senility”.
JenniG says
I’ll drink to that!
In college I took an etiquette class (nerd alert!) given by a former presidential advisor. She gave us a great toast that I have used time and again:
“Here’s to love, laughter, and happy ever after!”
Beth says
I’LL DRINK TO THAT! The only recent toasts I have heard have been my family’s weekly “clink” to Friday!
Tiffany N says
I’ll drink to that!
Unfortunately, I never seem to remember any of the toasts…. I guess I’m enjoying the beverage in the glass more than the words being offered up! :)
Rachie says
I’LL DRINK TO THAT!!!
The best I’ve ever heard was the one my brother in law gave at my and my hubby’s wedding. So sweet and touching!
dmh says
I’ll DRINK TO THAT
My maid of honor at my wedding welcomed my husband to her life as her “best friend in-law” it was perfect, and funny.
Gray says

I’LL DRINK TO THAT!
My husband’s best man (and best friend) set the standard for all future toasts as far as I am concerned. At our wedding, he wrapped up his toast by stating that he was “passing the torch” of looking after my husband from himself to me, and then had another friend bring out a lighted tiki torch and hand it to me. You should see the photos of me holding the flaming torch at arm’s length trying not to set my dress on fire while laughing hysterically. :)
Maria D says
I’ll Drink To That!! Heck, I’ll drink to your entire blog! Love it!
The only toast I’ve given was at my sister’s wedding, but I opened with a funny joke and ended with some total sappiness that had the guests going from hysterical laughter to “aww” and tears. Those are the best toasts!
Jen F says
I’LL DRINK TO THAT!
I have never given a speech at a wedding – not until my little sister gets married!
Mikaela says
I’LL DRINK TO THAT…
My husband was commissioned as an officer in the Army National Guard Saturday. He toasted to all of us a toast of “thanks”. It was sweet, genuine, and came from the heart.
Kate M says
“I’LL DRINK TO THAT!”
Best toast I’ve heard was at my sister’s wedding…touching and humorous…best of both worlds!
Pamela Q says
I’LL DRINK TO THAT!
i think the most memorable toast i ever heard was my Father in Law’s at our rehearsal dinner. it was all about how i changed my husband for the best and how much the family loves me and us together. it was so touching- everyone was misty-eyed!
Beth says
I’LL DRINK TO THAT! My family does a weekly “clink” on Friday evening at dinner. Wine glasses clinking with a chocolate milk glass is a great way to kick off the weekend!
Elizabeth says
I’ll drink to that!
The most memorable toasts for me, by far, are the ones made at our wedding! My sisters did their’s together and it was funny and SO touching! My husband’s brother’s was equally as touching. They all found unique ways to make their toasts one of the highlights of the evening!
Katie says
I’ll DRINK TO THAT
Best toast I have ever heard came from the grooms older brother of the wedding we went to a few years ago. I don’t think there was a dry eye there!
ivana says
I’ll drink to that!
The most tragicomic toast of all times happened at my grandparents’ 50 years anniversary, in an old Croatian village where people never even heard of toasts, or if they did, they were thought to be the most embarassing thing ever. So, with EVERYONE’s face red, my burgundy cheeked Dad plowed through a 10 minute speech, stubbornly moving forward even if we were ALL looking at the floor, especially his wife and children:..:D but now that I think of it, I say kudos to my dad. my hero.
Genelle says
I’ll Drink To That!
My dad gave a beautiful, well thought out and very touching speech at my wedding. The best speech I’ve ever heard! You could tell that he had spent a lot of time and energy putting it together, and I saw him reviewing it over and over throughout the day before the wedding. :)
Krista says
I’ll DRINK TO THAT!
Taylor says
“I’ll Drink To That”
I don’t recall ever hearing a good toast; however, I hope the ones at my wedding are awesome.
Alison says
I’LL DRINK TO THAT!!
Those would match the other glassware that we got from Mikasa for our wedding just perfectly! We got the balloon glasses instead of wine glasses and are somewhat regretting it now.
Sarah says
I’LL DRINK TO THAT…I’m sorry. I can’t think of anything right now because I’m getting married in less than 3 months and now you’ve just added something else to my list to be worried about…sheesh.
Bri says
“I’ll drink to that!”
Heather says
I’ll DRINK TO THAT
My brother-in-law gave a great one at our wedding that ended with the advice of “it’s hard to fight when you’re naked.”
Letty says
I’ll DRINK TO THAT!
The best toast I saw was a countdown list of childhood memories given by the bride’s two older brothers. Each “memory” was a perfect blend of funny and touching, and had everyone feeling like they grew up with the bride too and understanding why her partner is such her perfect mate.
Marsha says
“I’ll DRINK TO THAT” and…the toast my little sis gave at my wedding was not only touching but so funny.
Starry-Eyed Barefoot Bride says
I’ll drink to that!
At our wedding, our best man ended his toast saying “May the best day of your past be less than the worst day of your future.” I bet he practiced a lot to make sure he didn’t screw that up!
Tiki says
I’ll drink to that!!
Dusty says
I’ll drink to that!
At my sister’s wedding her husband’s best friend gave a speech that devolved into reminiscing about his sexual escapades in college. It was unending and pretty uncomfortable for everyone. But the marriage is strong. :)
Yvonne says
I’ll drink to that!
Christine says
I’LL DRINK TO THAT!
I love it when the toast includes great stories from the couple past.
Adele says
I’ll drink to that, please!
The best toast I have ever heard was my husband’s, at our rehearsal dinner. Of course I may be a little bit biased, but it was so special!
Rene says
I’ll drink to that!

“I’ll drink to that!!!”
Sheena says
I’ll Drink to That!
I once made a toast as the maid of honor at my good friend’s wedding. A great line that confuses the crowd at first but then fills the room with “awwwwwww”s is
“May today be the day that you love each other the least” meaning that your love for each other should grow every moment. :)
