**Welcome and Introduction**
"Wow, we're finally here! After all the planning, stressing, and wine-fueled decision-making, you two are finally tying the knot. I'm honored to be your wedding officiant today, and I promise not to make too many dad jokes.
Before we get started, I just want to say that marriage is like a game of Jenga – it's all fun and games until someone knocks over the whole thing. But don't worry, [Bride's Name] and [Groom's Name], you've both got great blocks (and by 'blocks', I mean each other).
**The Vows**
[Bride's Name] and [Groom's Name], from this day forward, promise to love, cherish, and tolerate each other's quirks. You promise to be each other's partner in crime, adventure buddy, and Netflix password holder.
[Groom's Name], you vow to support [Bride's Name]'s crazy cat lady phase, even when she insists on naming the cats 'Snugglepants' and 'Mr. Whiskers'.
[Bride's Name], you promise to put up with [Groom's Name]'s obsession with video games, fantasy football, and arguing with the referee at fantasy football.
**The Ring Exchange**
Now, it's time for the most important part – exchanging rings! Or, as I like to call it, 'the bribe' (just kidding, sort of).
[Groom's Name], please place this ring on [Bride's Name]'s finger and promise to never use it as an excuse to get out of doing chores.
[Bride's Name], please put this ring on [Groom's Name]'s finger and promise not to leave the cap off the toothpaste... most of the time.
**The Kiss**
And finally, the moment we've all been waiting for – the first kiss! Or, as I like to call it, 'the make-out session in front of our friends and family' (just kidding, again).
[Bride's Name] and [Groom's Name], you two are officially married! Now go forth and make more inside jokes, puns, and dad jokes together. Congratulations!"
**The Pronouncement**
By the power vested in me by the state of [State] and my ability to make bad jokes, I now pronounce you husband and wife! You may kiss your spouse... again.
Remember, marriage is a journey, not a destination (unless the destination is a nice beach vacation, then it's definitely a destination). But seriously, [Bride's Name] and [Groom's Name], you two are meant to be. Now go forth and make some beautiful memories together!
