Quaich at a wedding reception?

[rtc872]

Hi peoples,

I am at the moment planing my wedding reception in Japan and my wife to be wants to introduce some Scottish aspects into the reception. I was just wondering if there was some kind of special toast using a quaich we could do.

If you have any other ideas that would be appreciated.

Cheers

Rob

I'm guessing that no one has any ideas on this.

Thanks for reading anyway

At our Civil Ceremony we each took a sip of a single malt from a quaich and then it was passed round to our guests to join in and welcome us to the "family" Our take on it but it went down well... and so did the scotch!

According to one wedding customs site, the rhyme goes "Something old, etc., ... and a silver sixpence in her shoe." (emphasis mine - JCS)

Another site has:
"Silver Sixpence
The silver sixpence is traditionally placed in the brides left shoe. The coin was originally brought into circulation during the reign of Edward VI and became part of wedding tradition since Victorian times. It was customary for the bride to be presented with a sixpence by the Lord of the Manor as a wedding gift. As time passed it became more popular for fathers to give their daughter a sixpence in the form of a dowry.

The bride or her father would place the coin in her left shoe in the hope it will bring her marriage a lifetime of wealth."

At our Jewish wedding we used a quaich as the kiddish cup.

Myself, I'm phobic about the word 'wedding' so it's taken this long to 'screw my courage to the sticking place' and read your post.

Is that the thing you stomp on and break to smithereens? OK, I imagine not.
