  Toast (honor) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A toast is someone or something in honor of which people usually have a drink, or the drink or honor itself, or the act of indicating that honor.
The one instance where there is no 'agreement' element of the toast is in the case of the 'Immortal Memory' toast, traditionally drunk on Trafalgar Day at the Royal Navy dinner aboard the HMS Victory to the memory of Admiral Lord Nelson, which is drunk standing in total silence.
At a western-style wedding reception, the best man usually proposes a toast (that is, he toasts the couple) in the form of best wishes and congratulations to the newlyweds, after which everyone raises a glass (usually of champagne) in agreement and then sips from the glass.
