Want to take your movie quote game to the next level? Here are some pro tips that will make your toast unforgettable:

1. Match the quote to the couple's personality. A quote from a sophisticated drama won't work for a couple who bonded over Adam Sandler movies. Know your audience – both the couple and the wedding guests.
2. Practice your delivery. Some quotes need dramatic flair, others work better with deadpan delivery. The same line can get laughs or tears depending on how you say it.
3. Set up the quote with context. Don't just drop a random movie line into your speech. Explain why this particular quote reminds you of the couple, or tell a story that leads naturally to the quote.
4. Mix and match genres. A great toast might include a funny opener, a heartfelt middle, and an inspiring closer. Don't feel locked into one type of movie or emotion.
5. Make it personal. The best movie quotes in wedding toasts are the ones that connect to real memories or observations about the couple. Maybe they had their first date at a movie theater, or they quote films to each other constantly.
6. Know when to stop. One or two well-chosen quotes will have much more impact than a dozen random ones. Less is more when it comes to borrowed material.
7. Have a backup plan. If your planned quote gets a blank stare instead of recognition, be ready to explain it quickly or move on gracefully.

Remember, you're not trying to recreate a movie scene – you're using these memorable lines as tools to express genuine feelings about the couple you're celebrating. The best wedding toasts feel personal and authentic, even when they're borrowing from Hollywood's greatest hits.
