The toast is the moment of the celebration when the glasses are raised to express good wishes to the bride and groom, with a few words addressed to them, with expressions of good wishes and congratulations.
The best time to toast is before the dance begins. The toast is traditionally made with sparkling alcoholic beverages. Champagne can be used, but cava or cider is the most common.
