LOL these are pretty funny :) asked FI for input... we like 1 and 2 best
I don't know if this is something that I can give you ideas for, as you do want your ceremony to be "you."
I like you ideas though! So I would sit and think about which one of the ideas that you curently have that really reflect you two as a couple?
If you love facebook, then it fits. If you both love Toy Story, then it fits, and so on.
Well the Toy Story reference would be to please our 3 year old son. And I'm obsessed with Facebook, so that one is perfect. I might use all of the ideas that I've come up with so far, but I would also like some other ones from your guys as well! My fiance helped me come up with these 4, btw. We're stumped on what else to do. Thanks!
I like all the last 3. The first just seems to cross the line to serious awkwardness (and possibly even disrespect, depending what kind of church building/ceremony/denomination it is.)
i love the infinity and beyond..it sets a permanet tone in the marriage and is super cute!
The Toy Story line is cute. The first one makes me cringe.
I guess the toy story one if you're going to do something. Be careful with somebody jokingly stopping your wedding as in my Province if someone objects even as a joke the wedding is unable to be legally completed at that time
@SapphireSun ... I didn't say they were going to object to the marriage, just yell NOOO or STOOOPPP randomly during the service. that one was actually my fiance's idea :)
No one has any other suggestions to help my ceremony be unique and funny? please help me out here, girls! :(
@hersheykiss2087: I like the facebook one; however, I plan do something similar only leaving the ceremony serious and saving the fun for the reception. I plan on doning the father daughter surprize dance. We are going to start to I Loved Her First (a country song) and it will be interupted by Solja Boy. My dad will put on a hat backwards and we'll put on sunglass and do the dance. Then the music sudly switches back and we go back to dancing slowly like nothing happened. Hard to explain but there are some good ones on youtube. Hope this helps.
Not really a fan of the first one, but I love the other three!
@jakesgirl90 : i have always loved that idea! but unfortunately, we aren't going to be dancing at our reception. just having a nice catered family dinner and cake afterwards. which is why the funny stuff msut be during the ceremony ;)
I love the To Infinity and Beyond - however, when we were adapting our ceremony script, we learned that in a religious ceremony you have to keep something about "til death do us part" so you may need to find another way to do it if you are having a religious ceremony.
And at our ceremony - we didn't plan it, but our best men speach (there were two best men, two best ladies) was a really funny dance/theatrical representation of how we met done to a beyonce song.
I love the idea of you dipping your hubby for the first kiss! Definitely something I would always remember as a guest :)
I'd avoid the first, as it seem like too much of a disruption and might not go over well. And the last one is cute, but I'd think about whether you want the photos of your first married kiss to be you dipping him. If you do decide to go with that option, I'd do a traditional kiss first for the photo op, and then while people are clapping, you can dip him for the additional laugh factor.
Love the other two.
@linguo42 ...that's exactly what i told my fiance last night! that we needed to do the traditional kiss first and THEN i can dip him to be funny. lol great minds think alike :)
Does anyone have any ideas?? I'm stumped right now...
I don't really have any funny ha-ha ideas. I guess the Toy Story one would be sort of cute? Short of doing a banana peel gag I really have no clue.
You guys are killing me, here! lol... i really thought the girls on this site would have some great ideas for me! =/
I think the Facebook one is the most funny. The Toy Story one is good too. I'm glad that you guys are putting your personality into your ceremony but just be careful, I've seen attempts at humor backfire and come off really tacky and impersonal during a really important ceremony...however, if you keep it to your aforementioned ideas (except for #1) I think that will be funny without overdoing it!
Try to make the kiss difficult? Maybe put a hand between you or hold a fan or your bouquet so no one can see you kissing. Play coy and make him work for the kiss?
I think I would avoid #1 & #2, because #1 seems to be a bit too... offensive for what is supposed to be a contemplative and significant moment in your life, and #2 might seem a bit too outdated when you look back over the years. But who knows?
#4 is my personal favourite. And I agree that you should do the regular kiss first and then dip him. And be sure to take lots of pics!
Or, you could have your wedding party do something instead of you two. Maybe when it comes time to exhange the rings, have the person who's in charge of holding the rings pretend that he's lost them. And start pulling random things out of his pocket (a rubber band, a dangly earing, and a cat toy, for instance...).
It was accidental, but very funny, at my uncles wedding the flower girl and ring bearer walked all the way up to the altar and stood there as if they were getting married. It was so cute and funny Father John even commented on his concern about the age of the bride and groom.
@MsGolightly ... i LOVE the idea of having the person holding the rings pretend to lose them and pull out random things instead! unfortunately, we won't be having any attendants.
man, you guys take a wedding ceremony WAY too seriously. we just want to have fun and let our humorous side show. we dont want a plain old boring blah wedding. i guess you just need to have a sense of humor yourselves in order to appreciate a couple doing something fun like this (especially with the 1st idea... which is hilarious to us, btw!) we just want to be unique and have fun with our day :)
@hersheykiss2087: I don't think it has to be "boring blah" in order to be serious and appropriate for the big deal that a commitment to marriage is.
I think #3 & #4 are very cute. I don't care for the first one because I can honestly see there being crickets in the audience instead of the laughter you're going for. I think it's more awkward than funny, personally... I do think it's awesome that you want to let your personalities to show during your ceremony. I guess I just think it should be in an "appropriate" way and not in a way that might come across as mocking the commitment you're making to each other?
Being funny doesn't mean it's going to be inappropriate. and our families know us well enough to know that we're being funny and they will appreciate our humor.
you can't tell me that everyone on this site is going to stand up there like a manikin and hold back tears and not do ANYTHING unique or fun for the ceremony, can you? come on now, girls...
Hmm...that's kind of rude to say these nice ladies don't have a sense of humor just because they find some of these ideas disrespectful at a wedding. And I think you've received some pretty good feedback so far. You set the tone for your own wedding, so if you want it to be a gag that's your choice.
There was an episode of Four Weddings where the bride made the ceremony pretty much a running joke. I can't remember which episode it was now. Does anyone else remember it? The bride had red hair and was skinny, and she had a dance-off with someone? that's all I can remember. If you find it, you might get some ideas from that episode.
Good luck :)
I don't know where your boundaries lie...but my FI desperately wants to walk into the reception to "I Just Had Sex" by the Lonely Island. He thinks it would be so funny for the announcer to call our names, then we come running out a little late, me rearranging my dress and fixing my hair, him fixing his tie, etc.
I can't imagine doing that in front of my family or our pastor-even though I think it would be funny-but I don't know if that's crossing the line or not! Haha
Okay I'll be totally honest...the last wedding I went to where they tried to make the ceremony funny, I just thought it was...terrible. I'm not saying everything should be totally serious all day long, but IMO it's an important moment in one's life and it just seemed like they were making a big joke of their own marriage.
No one said that you have to behave like a mannequin and show no emotion! And there are lots of fun and unique things you can do. Jokes at the ceremony are not out of the question. You are free to do whatever you want at your ceremony - it's YOUR ceremony!
We are all just expressing our opinions on what we would (or wouldn't) do in your situation. For me, a wedding ceremony is too sacred to have someone run in and start yelling, despite it being a joke. If I were at a wedding and that happened, I would feel embarrassed and uncomfortable. But that's just me.
And last I read, no one was attacking you about your ideas. We were just giving opinions. And encouragement!
@MsGolightly: Exactly.
I gave my opinion because I thought the OP wanted feedback. No one said "Don't be funny" or "Act like a mannequin."
I think the first one is just not funny, I can see some people not getting that it was a joke, and being really offended instead of thinking it was funny. If I was at your wedding, I would find it distasteful, and I actually considered pursuing a career in improv comedy at one point.
I think the thing with making your ceremony funny is great, but you need to know your limits, the trick is not to overdo anything, IMO the funniest moments are the more subtle ones, especially the unplanned ones. If you're doing Facebook and the toy story thing, just make sure your pastor can pull it off. Nothing is less funny than someone trying to be funny but clearly isn't comfortable with what they're doing.
Another idea, the music starts before your entrance, the traditional here comes the bride. The doors open, everyone stands, but you're not there. They start again, and you're still not there. Then you rush into the hall with a gigantic map, apologizing for the delay, you were just late.
But again, I caution you to be careful, unless you really want to turn your ceremony into a farce. I would do a couple funny things, but I wouldn't take it too over the top.
@swanks4tw ... actually, up until these last few comments, i haven't recieved ANY feedback so far. no new ideas, anyway. just people saying they think being funny isn't appropriate. which is fine, because it's their opinion, but i think that's a little rude to say that my wedding is going to be inapproriate just because i want a laugh or two.
YAY! thank you to the last few people that posted... finally, some ideas! :)
@Shazaam42 ... i LOVE that idea! i just don't have the guts to do something like that lol
@hersheykiss2087: hahaha neither do I! FI says we would be youtube phenomenons haha. I figured I'd pass the torch to anyone else on weddingbee who would be able to do it...
We used our songs to make it more fun. When the guys first walked out towards the alter, 'The Final Countdown' started playing, and people were cracking up. Our processional song after we were pronounced husband and wife was 'Forever' by Chris Brown..that was fun too!

Hello all!
My fiance and I want to show our sense of humor at our wedding ceremony. It's going to be a small wedding with only about 20 guests- all of which are family members.
Here are some ideas that we've been considering (just to give you an idea of what type of suggestions I'm looking for)
1.) Have some random person run into the santuary and yell "STOOOOPPPP!" and then just stand there for a second and then say "Oops... sorry... wrong church."
2.) Instead of having our pastor say "you may now kiss the bride", we might have him say "you may now update your facebook statuses"
3.) Instead of saying "til death do us part" we'll say "to infinity and beyond"
4.) I will dip him when it's time to kiss!!
If you have any funny ideas that we could do for our ceremony, please share! Also, please vote on which of the ideas that I've already listed that you like. Thank you in advance!!
