Frequently Asked Questions About Jehovah’s Witnesses, “What Happens at a Wedding of Jehovah’s Witnesses?”
“The Bible does not prohibit toasting or clinking glasses, but some couples may ask guests not to offer toasts in order to avoid stumbling others.”
The organisation’s current answer about weddings, read on the Watchtower Online Library. It gives the position after the July 2025 announcement and makes no reference to the earlier counsel. The sentence is followed in the original by a reference to Romans 14:21.

Notes. Compare the 2007 answer, which said Witnesses ‘do not share in toasting’.
