Champagne toast intertwine?

Rachey, on May 6, 2014 at 12:38 AM Posted in Etiquette and Advice 0 10

Do people still intertwine their hands (bride and groom) when drinking to their toast? Every time we practice it's all awkward lol. Maybe because his arms are muscular. Kind of a silly question but thought if ask.

    We did it. While it was a little awkward I was so thirsty nothing was going to keep me from that glass. It made for a cute photo too.

    I don't intend to. I think it looks forced and awkward.

    We do but it's a long standing joke from the movie Patton:

    Translator: The general would like to know if you will drink a toast with him.

    Patton: Thank the general and tell him I have no desire to drink with him or any other Russian son of a bitch.

    Translator: [Nervous] I can't tell him that!

    Patton: Tell him, every word.

    Translator: [In Russian] He says he will not drink with you or any Russian son of a bitch.

    Russian general: [In Russian] Tell him he is a son of a bitch, too. Now!

    Translator: [Very nervous] He says he thinks you are a son of a bitch, too.

    Patton: [laughing] All right. All right, tell him I'll drink to that; one son of a bitch to another.

    I think of the 80s when I think of intertwining arms. And that reason alone is why I want to attempt it.
