Hello, and welcome to the ‘I Do Drive Thru’ wedding of Beyonce and Jay-Z!
I would like to begin by acknowledging the Traditional Custodians of the land on which we gather today and pay respects to their Elders past, present and emerging. I extend that respect to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples here today.
By way of a brief introduction, my name is (CELEBRANT) and I am a celebrant and duly authorised by law to solemnise marriages according to law. I’m thrilled to be the one to get you two hitched today!
Before you are joined in marriage in my presence and in the presence of these witnesses, I am to remind you of the solemn and binding nature of the relationship into which you are now about to enter.

I call upon the person’s here present, to witness that I, Beyonce (Full Name), take you, Jay (Full Name), to be my lawful wedded husband/wife/spouse/partner in marriage
We’ve now come to the part of the ceremony known as the ring exchange. These ritual dates all the way back to ancient Rome and is laden with all sorts of symbolic meaning, regarding eternal love…
However, I think the most important thing is that, once the dust settles on today’s celebrations and you’ve moved into the groove of your lives, you can always look down and admire this very symbolic bling.
The ring remains as the visible sign of your social contract and lets the whole world know; that you are now officially and legally, taken!
Can we have the rings?
Jay, do you take Bey to be your plus one, your co-pilot, your confidante, bestie and awesomely wedded wife/husband/spouse?
Jay: ‘I do’
Jay please place the ring on Bey’s finger to symbolise this promise.
(Personal vows are shared if relevant)
Bey, do you take Jay to be your plus one, your co-pilot, your confidante, bestie and awesomely wedded wife/husband/spouse?

Jay and Bey on behalf of myself and these A-list witnesses, I’d like to say thank you for allowing us the privilege of being part of this brief, yet momentous occasion.
Now for the best bit where I get to say, Bey and Jay, it is now my great honour, to pronounce you: husband & wife / wife & wife / husband & husband / partner & partner / married at last!
Now, kiss to seal the deal!
