i wrote an mc script so you don’t have to

If you enjoyed this post, please consider donating to mine and my fiance’s “honeymoon”/immigration fund. Even a small amount would mean the world to us.

Worried about what your mc will say at your wedding? Unsure of what you should include? No problem! I’ve written out a skeleton mc script for my mc that you can chop and change to your heart’s desire. I’ve left mine very open as I trust our mc but have just given him a few guidelines and what definitely not to say.

If you’re coming to our wedding, look away lest you see spoilers of the big day. Also, things can and will change so this might not be 100% what we go with and what we end up with.

Notes to MC

*NO SEXIST JOKES
*NO DUMB JOKES ABOUT MARRIAGE
