Alright everyone — welcome! Find a seat, grab a drink if you have one, and let's get this party started. I'm [OFFICIANT], and I have the best job in the room today.

We're here because two of the greatest humans any of us know — [PARTNER1] and [PARTNER2] — have decided to make it official. And honestly? It's about time.

Before we get to the good stuff, let's take a second to appreciate the fact that everyone here managed to show up, find parking, and look this good. That deserves a round of applause.

[Pause for applause.]

So, how did [PARTNER1] and [PARTNER2] end up here? Well, it started with [how they met].

Now, I've known [PARTNER1/PARTNER2] for [how long], and I can tell you — when they started talking about [PARTNER2/PARTNER1], something was different. The texting got more frequent. The smile got bigger. The "we're just friends" came with slightly less conviction each time.

And here's the thing about these two: they genuinely like each other. Not just love — like. They want to spend time together. They make each other laugh. They're each other's first call. That, if you ask me, is the whole thing.

Okay, let's do this. [PARTNER1] and [PARTNER2] — the moment has arrived.

[PARTNER1], do you promise to love [PARTNER2], to choose them on the good days and the really bad ones, to laugh with them, to be honest even when it's uncomfortable, and to split the last piece of [their favourite food] fairly?

"I do."

[PARTNER2], do you promise to love [PARTNER1], to show up for them consistently, to be their safe place, their adventure partner, and their person — for all of it?

"I do."

Excellent. You're both doing great.

[PARTNER1], your vows — try not to make everyone cry too hard:

"[PARTNER2], you are my favourite. My favourite person to talk to, to laugh with, to annoy, and to come home to. I promise to always be in your corner, to make you feel loved every single day, and to never let you carry anything heavy alone — metaphorically or literally. You're stuck with me. I love you so much."

[PARTNER2], your turn:

"[PARTNER1], I knew you were the one when [moment]. I promise to be your partner in every sense — to celebrate your wins, sit with you in your losses, and make sure our life together is as fun as it is meaningful. You're my favourite person and my best decision. I love you."

The rings! Ancient symbol of eternal love — also very shiny, which [PARTNER1] and [PARTNER2] both appreciate.

[PARTNER1], slide that ring on and say:

"With this ring, I thee wed."

[PARTNER2], your turn:

"With this ring, I thee wed."

Perfect. You're basically married already — one more step.

And that's it! [PARTNER1] and [PARTNER2] — you did it. You said the things, you meant them, and everyone here witnessed it.

It is my absolute joy — and honestly my honour — to pronounce you officially, legally, wonderfully married.

Now KISS! Everyone's been waiting.
