wedding officiant speech funny


We are gathered here today because [Groom's Name] and [Bride's Name] have finally admitted they can't live without each other—probably because [Groom's Name] can't even boil water and needs someone to handle the kitchen disasters. Marriage is like a walk in the park... Jurassic Park, that is, full of unexpected surprises and the occasional dinosaur-sized argument over who left the toilet seat up.

I first met [Groom's Name] back when he thought romance meant sending a text with just an emoji—probably the one with the pizza. And [Bride's Name], you're a saint for turning that emoji game into a full-blown love story. Let's face it, folks, if their relationship was a movie, it would be a comedy sequel: "How to Lose Your Keys and Find True Love."

But seriously, amidst all the laughs, these two show us what real partnership looks like—someone to share the remote, split the desserts, and remind you that even on bad days, you're still their favorite person. So, [Groom's Name] and [Bride's Name], are you ready to promise to keep the humor alive, even when life throws curveballs? Let's get to those vows before I start telling embarrassing stories from their dating days!
