Marriage is a serious matter, but your wedding ceremony doesn’t have to be!
To help you plan a lighthearted ceremony that celebrates your love of laughter and the best movie about romance and adventure ever made, we’ve added a new wedding ceremony script to our Script Library.
Next, ask a friend to get ordained (and get in character) to officiate your wedding.
The invocation takes its inspiration straight from the film (The Princess Bride), including The Impressive Clergyman’s iconic lisp and a well-timed interruption from a guest.
This funny opening speech will get friends and family members invested in the magic of the day -- and cracking a smile at how far these newlyweds have come for love!
The wedding script includes romantic, classic wedding vows to celebrate your twue wuv, and to ensure the ceremony feels authentic and heartfelt, grounded in devotion and commitment. The vows are followed by a loving ring exchange that speaks from the heart.
This short, simple, funny wedding script based on the 80s classic film, The Princess Bride, is a great starting place for your own ceremony. Use the template as is, or personalize it with unique details from a couple’s relationship, or even a few jokes.
Don’t feel like you have to stick to our script – get creative! Just make sure you stay in character…
