~12 minute ceremony
Want to have the cutest wedding imaginable? A cute wedding ceremony isn't just about fluffy decorations and whimsical readings, it's about capturing the essence of a couple's love story in a way that's both heartwarming and lighthearted. A cute wedding ceremony should incorporate the playful banter between partners, the inside jokes that spark laughter throughout the ceremony, and the officiant's ability to weave a narrative that celebrates a bond unique to the couple.
Going for Cute
Couples choose a cute wedding ceremony for a few reasons. It allows them to express their personalities and avoid a stuffy, overly formal atmosphere. It creates a relaxed environment where loved ones are comfortable and engaged. Most importantly, it injects joy and laughter into a momentous occasion, making it a celebration that truly reflects their love and individuality.
Tips for Officiants
As the person legally authorized to marry couples, here are a few pointers for developing a cute wedding ceremony script:
- Know the Couple: Understanding the couple's dynamic is key to a cute script. Weave in anecdotes about their first date, shared passions, or quirky inside jokes. Sit down with the couple before the ceremony and ask them about cute stories that humorously tell their love story.
- Balance Sweetness and Humor: Embrace playful moments. An impromptu lighthearted joke or a funny story can help both the audience and the couple relax and feel comfortable.
- Less Formality, More Heart: Skip overly scripted vows and encourage the couple to personalize their promises. Authenticity is everything!
- Interactive Elements: Consider incorporating a short quiz about the couple's relationship or having guests hold hands and create a human heart chain when the couple is pronounced married.
A cute wedding ceremony gives you and the couple a lot of leeway to create something wholly unique and truly memorable. Here’s an example of a cute wedding ceremony script that is personalized and touching, with the right amount of levity.
Introduction/Welcome
Officiant:
Welcome, everyone! We're gathered here today on this beautiful day to celebrate the love story of two amazing people, _________ and _________. Get ready for a ceremony filled with joy, laughter, and ugly crying faces!
For those of you who haven't met me, I'm _________, and it's my dubious pleasure to officiate this special union. Before we get swept away by the magic, let's take a moment to appreciate the incredible people who brought us all together. Now also give yourself a round of applause for showing up on time. We’re going to get this show on the road because we all have somewhere to be!
(The couple can enter the ceremony traditionally with one waiting at the altar while the other enters, or they can walk in together or already be at the altar. Do whatever looks and feels right for the occasion!)
Officiant:
We really do care about your attention spans, so we’ll start with a very short reading:
Reading
Officiant or someone special (to guests):
“We're all a little weird/ and life's a little weird,/ and when we find someone whose weirdness is compatible with/ ours, we join up with them and/ fall in mutual weirdness and call it love..”
-“We’re All a Little Weird” by Dr. Seuss
Declaration of Intent
Officiant:
_________ and _________, take a moment to look into each other's eyes. Remember all the laughter, the inside jokes, the late-night talks that turned into early mornings. Remember the support you've offered each other through thick and thin. Today, you choose to embark on the next chapter, hand in hand.
So, _________, are you absolutely, positively sure that this is the person you want to spend the rest of your life with?
Partner 1: Absolutely! From the moment I laid eyes on _________, I knew that I wanted to share a lifetime of joy, laughter, hope, and morning breath with them.
(Pause for laughter)
Officiant:
_________, that’s real love! Do you also want to take _________ as your lifelong “plus 1?”
Partner 2: You betcha! They’re the wind beneath my wings, the melody in my heart, and the peanut butter to my jelly!
(Pause for laughter)
Officiant:
And who doesn’t love a good PB&J?! With that kind of devotion, let’s get to the rings.
(Here, the couple can exchange rings or perform another wedding ritual. Vows should be written by the couple with your assistance, as needed).
Pronouncement
Officiant:
Hasn’t this all been so lovely? With these heartfelt declarations, I now pronounce you two as married! You may now kiss each other!
