Your wedding ceremony, written.

For couples with a friend officiating. $79, ready in 2 days.

Before and after

Not “dearly beloved.” Your story.

Most friend officiants start from a template they found online. We start from the nine answers you give us.

Before: a template

“Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today to join Sam and Riley in matrimony. Marriage is a serious commitment, not to be entered into lightly. Sam, do you take Riley to be your lawfully wedded…”

After: written from their answers

“Sam met Riley at a bus stop in Portland, in the rain, with one umbrella between them and three miles to go. Six years, two flats and one very loud dog later, they asked me, the friend who sent them both to that bus stop, to stand here and say it out loud: they chose each other, and they keep choosing.”

Sample: Sam and Riley are a made-up couple. Every real script comes only from what the couple tells us.

How it works

Length

Readings, unity ritual, children, pets, anyone to remember? (optional) Your vows, if you wrote them (optional) Where is the wedding? Anything else? (optional) I understand the script is written only from what we send, that we read it before the day, and that the legal side of our marriage is ours and our officiant's to check.

Questions

Is it really written from our story?

Yes. Only from what you tell us in the 9 questions. Nothing is made up, and you read every line before the day.

Can our friend legally marry us?

That is between you, your officiant and your county clerk or registrar; the rules differ by state and country. We write the words, not legal advice. The script marks where the legal declaration goes.

What if we want changes?

One round of changes is free. If the script is late, you get your money back.
