wedding

[ghodamitt.livejournal.com]

I am attending a wedding this weekend, and the groom and his parents are russian. I was wondering if there was a simple toast that I could make at the reception to include his family (since everyone else is american and only speak english).

Simple things like - "To the bride and groom!" or "Here is to a long and happy marriage!"

Or, if anyone knows of a more traditionally russian blessing, I would be happy to have that suggestion too.

Thanks all.

Cовет да любовь!(SovEt da lyubOv') - smth. like "Wish you to live in love and consent!"
За здоровье молодых! (Za zdorOvye molodYkh) - "To the newlyweds health!"
Also, if you wish to make a toast to the parents, then simply "За родителей!" (Za rodIteley) - "To the parents!" (meaning here fathers and mothers)
