The Wedding Toast

The minuet from Coming of Age

Curtain – there are four dancers singing in the style of a madrigal whilst dancing the minuet.

We raise a glass of wine, to love & to romance
We drink a toast to lovers as we step the lover’s dance
We raise a glass of wine to lovers newly wed
And wish them all the happiness of the wedding bed.
All four dance a minuet around each other

We raise a glass of wine, to happy groom and bride
And celebrate their love with love & more beside
We raise a glass of wine to bride and groom and all
A toast the happy news that love shall conquer all.
All four dance a minuet around each other

We raise a glass of wine and with it wish you well
Let there be happy days and happy nights as well
We raise a glass of wine to a long married life
Let there be just harmony for husband & for wife.
All four dance a minuet around each other

We raise a glass of wine to lovers newly wed
And wish them all the happiness of the wedding bed
We raise a glass of wine to lovers good and true
And wish their happiness brings love to all of you.
Outside the dancers can here everyone clink glasses and drink a toast to bride and groom. Their private minuet as before each singing two lines and turning and singing two lines in close harmony until the last verse when they all sing together

We raise a glass of wine to lovers newly wed
And wish them all the happiness of the wedding bed
We raise a glass of wine to lovers good and true
And wish their happiness brings love to all of you.
All four dance a minuet around each other

We raise a glass of wine, to love and to romance
We drink a toast to lovers as we step the lover’s dance
We raise a glass of wine to lovers newly wed
And wish them all the happiness of the wedding bed.
All four dance a minuet around each other

We raise a glass of wine, to happy groom and bride
And celebrate their love with love and more beside
We raise a glass of wine to bride and groom and all
A toast the happy news that love shall conquer all.
All four dance a minuet around each other

We raise a glass of wine and with it wish you well
Let there be happy days and happy nights as well
We raise a glass of wine to a long married life
Let there be just harmony for husband and for wife.
All four dance a minuet around each other

We raise a glass of wine to lovers newly wed
And wish them all the happiness of the wedding bed
We raise a glass of wine to lovers good and true
And wish their happiness brings love to all of you.
