Toasts and Speeches

The bride's father proposes a toast to the bride and the bridegroom.
This is replied to by the bridegroom who thanks the bride's parents and guests; he then proposes a toast to the bridesmaids. The best-man replies on behalf of the bridesmaids and reads the messages of good luck.
