Alex Stone
Founder & Editor, iDoCheers
Alex Stone runs iDoCheers, a wedding toast and speech inspiration studio for best men, maids of honor, parents, and couples. Over the past several years he has reviewed and polished hundreds of real wedding speeches, sat through dozens of American receptions and rehearsal dinners with a notebook in hand, and helped friends and readers turn ten-minute ramblers into three-minute highlights. His work focuses on what actually lands at the reception: story arcs that hold a room, openers that settle nerves, and the modern American etiquette questions (timing, tone, taboos) that most speakers only think to ask the night before. Every guide is built from real ceremonies, professional officiant and speechwriter input, and reader feedback — and is re-reviewed on a scheduled editorial cycle.
