Free · A full ceremony script

A wedding ceremony, start to finish.

It’s the complete script, about fourteen minutes read aloud, with my notes in the margin and room to make it yours.

What’s in the script

  1. The welcome and "Why we’re here" pages of the script, with margin notes

    The whole ceremony, in read-aloud type

    The script runs in ten parts, from the welcome to the moment you introduce them, and it’s set large enough to read from a binder. The handwriting in the margin is me, telling you why a line is there and what to watch for.

  2. The one-page map of the ceremony with timings

    The ceremony on one page

    One page maps the ten parts against a running clock, so you can see where you should be at minute five and which two parts you read exactly as written.

  3. The page of name fields, and the key to reading the script pages

    Names you type once

    Fill in both names, the officiant’s name and the state on one page, and they appear everywhere the script needs them.

  4. The page of five choices, each with tick boxes

    Five choices that make it yours

    You choose between secular and spiritual, their own vows or repeated after you, a reading or none, a unity ritual or none, and the full ceremony or the eight-minute one. Each choice has a box to tick and the wording to swap in.

Also inside

  • Room to type the couple’s story in large type, with an example I made up to show the shape
  • A day-of checklist for the week before, the hour before and right after
  • A closing page for the officiant and another for the couple

What you’ll have when you’ve worked through it

  • A complete ceremony with their names on every page
  • The story section written, with three true details about the couple
  • The five choices settled between the couple and the officiant
  • A printed script you’ve read aloud with a timer running
  • A checklist for the day, and for the license afterwards

Where should I send it?

You can read it as written this weekend, and it holds together with nothing added but the names.
