I had a friend ask me recently how many calories it was in for the Italian wedding toast. Well, I told her that it was 3,945 calories. I told her that the Italian custom of having a wedding breakfast without wine actually comes with an added benefit of saving 1,600 calories. We each had a glass of wine and some fruit (frozen blueberries and strawberries). So I went with 3,945.
Actually, Italian weddings traditionally start with a toast and then a speech by the bride. This is because it’s considered very bad luck to have to be standing up and speaking at the same time after the wedding. So instead, they take turns in the most important position in the room. One person stands up and tells the other person what they have to say, while the other person tells the bride. So it’s sort of like a “groom talk.
The way this is explained (and this is the kind of thing that can get really weird) is that the groom and the bride have a special ceremony that involves a lot of wine, cake, and other gifts. Afterward, the groom stands up and tells the bride. In this particular case, the bride stands up, explains what she’s done, and tells the groom. The groom then stands up and tells the bride. The next person then tells the bride.
This is what happens when you have a wedding to a foreign country. The wedding toast can be a lot more complicated than the usual “hello there,” “welcome to my home, my country”, “welcome to my homeland”, or other silly thing that only has people shouting it out at once. It becomes a lot more refined and, in many ways, more civilized. That’s why it’s so much fun.
I’ve been living in Italy for three years now and in all that time I’ve only noticed one other thing: the Italians are really good at making up toast, and it’s even better than I’d imagined.
The wedding toast is one of the most important events in a wedding, and its become even more important because of the amount of wine it contains. The Italians don’t like to drink anything that tastes bad, and they prefer a good wine to most other foods. I love how we can make up a toast that is so good it even has a name, and at the same time make it sound as if it is actually saying something, as opposed to what it really is saying.
The Italian Wedding Toast is an expression of the unity and love between two people that was formed when two people were so focused on how they were to be together. It means to say “our love is so great we are unable to say it, but instead we say ‘Our love is so great we cannot say it, but we say ‘Our love is so great it could never be said.
The Italian Wedding Toast has a long history as a way for people to express their affection. People would get married in the morning and say “the toast” to each other that morning. People would get married in the evening and say “the toast” that evening. People would get married in the night and say “the toast” in the morning. However, the Italians did not say “the toast” in the morning.
The toast is the toast, not the toast. It’s not the toast to be shouted out when the time comes, it’s the toast for the people who aren’t there.
The Italians did not say the toast in the morning, they simply said “un buon v’e” (“good morning”) when they got up in the morning. They did not say “che cosa, quelle eterne” (“what’s up, what’s up”) when they got up in the evening, they simply said “buon v’e”.
