Toastmastery 101

A big part of a Swedish wedding is a curious creature called “the Toastmaster”.

A Toastmaster (in our case, the incomparable Robert Edanius, pictured on the far left) is in charge of helping other friends and guests organize toasts or performances at the wedding. It’s a sacred duty, a cross between being summoned to work on a jury and stage managing a musical. It often means getting a look behind the scenes at a couple’s origin story and the incredible bonds they have with their community of friends and found family. (Sigma has done it twice and loved it. Hi Cessie! Hi Eddie!)

If you are interested in presenting a short (shooooort, less-than-4-minutes-we-mean-it)

  • song

  • interpretative dance

  • actual piece of toast

then please email the Toastmaster here.

“Robert was an amazing toastmaster. He organized a boat and dressed up like a sailor, and he handcrafted naval flags. 10/10 would recommend he toastmaster our next wedding.”
