When it comes to toasting a party nobody does it better than the Irish.
If you really want to have fun try join your Irish friend to a gathering like a wedding, party or even to the home Irish pub.
I bet you will never forget that night.
Irish toasts are often full of humor and a whole lot of religion is also involved, many have God or Virgin Mary involved in them.
You do not have to be Irish to enjoy Irish toasts and getting what they are all about is actually quite simple.
If you attending an Irish wedding you will see just how well they toast and it is not only the groom and his best man who toast.
Actually just about anybody gives a toast at the Irish wedding.
Some of the Irish toast such as the common in good health phrase called "Sláinte", there is also those that have nothing to do with good health like "May the love and protection Saint Patrick can give, be yours as long as you live!" Or "May God not weaken your hand".
There is also a toast that goes like "May your grass always be green, may your skies forever blue, may God bless the Irish, and may God bless you!" Most of the toasts are often some sort of blessing to you and when they may not be funny they offer you good health and all sort of goodness in your life.
Examples of these are "Sláinte agus saol agat" meaning Good health and long life to you; "Sláinte chuig na fir, agus go mairfidh na mná go deo" meaning, Health to the men, and may the women live forever!
