The fan-fueled ceremony was sponsored by Busch Beer after the bride and groom won a special social media giveaway. The couple both wore NASCAR gear to take their vows, with the bride's fire suit in traditional white and accessorized with a taffeta skirt, and the groom in stylish black. The bride’s bouquet was a kitschy-cute mix of roses and Busch Light beer cans.

 

Actor and official ‘Busch Guy’ Gerald Downey served as the couple’s wedding officiant. 

 

According to this article in People Weddings, Officiant Downey quickly guided the couple through a simple declaration of intent and pronouncement in the pit box during driver Kevin Harvick’s pit stop, getting the couple to the first-kiss finish line in under 10 seconds flat. 

 

Fast work! In fact, the declaration of intent and pronouncement of marriage are the only wording needing to make a marriage ceremony legal. Click the link below to learn more about what an officiant is required to say at a wedding ceremony:
