All the Vows You Need
Look no further for a menu of perfect vows for your script. Here's a download of vetted vows ranging from spiritual to non- and traditional to contemporary.
ATTENTION, BRIDES AND GROOMS:
No more stress and worry about your first-timer officiating your wedding.
This online course makes them one of the best you've ever seen!
I'M READY TO GIFT IT!
You're worried your ceremony could turn out dull or awkward or flat-out boring, because it's their first time.
The friend or relative you’ve asked to officiate has never done it before. And frankly, it feels like the ceremony is the most uncertain part of your wedding day, doesn’t it?
But the last thing you need to do right now is what way too many brides and grooms do: try to save their friend from being dull and awkward and lost – by stepping in.
Brides and grooms are already so busy planning their wedding, and then they take on the researching and writing and sending their officiant scripts and templates they dig up from here and there.
But you don’t know much about this stuff either! How to guide your loved one through the details? Or how to make the ceremony personal? Or what to look for when it comes to the stage directions and the moving parts and the starting and ending of a wedding ceremony and what to rehearse so it all goes smoothly?
Plus, a downloaded “here-ya-go” script doesn’t at all help a first-time officiant feel proud and confident and 100% prepared for the wedding day.
Of course, the alternative is the worst: just let ’em figure it out on their own. Then you can either hover like a helicopter parent keeping tabs on their progress… or just stay out of it, keeping your fingers crossed and hoping they do okay.
What you really want is your loved one to crush this ceremony, show your guests a great time, and make you ecstatic you chose them to officiate your wedding!
Can you imagine...
- Your first-time officiant has every tool, template, email, and sample they need. Everything to get the job done right is there at their fingertips so they're your guide... not your problem.
- They know exactly how to write everything they need to write. No boring filler or fluff for you to endure in the ceremony. From the ceremony elements to the ceremony speech, they know what works, why - and when to say it.
- They walk into the wedding day with 100% confidence. Which means... you're excited. Because you know that what they've created is guaranteed to blow you and your guests away.
If this sounds like a dream, I want you to know that it’s 100% possible for your officiant. I know, because I’ve been exactly where they are now, I've created a proven system to help them write and deliver one of the best weddings you've ever seen, and I help friends and relatives do this every weekend!
That’s why I can't wait to introduce your first-time officiant to the Unboring!Wedding Academy system!
If you're ready to be wowed by your ceremony and to leave all your guests thrilled by the experience...
...YOU'RE IN THE RIGHT PLACE.
I’ve created for your officiant the program I wished existed when I started out with all those questions and worries and fears. All the questions and worries and fears your loved one is feeling right now.
…How does your first-time officiant keep the collaborative creation process simple and not annoy you with dozens of questions and emails?
…How does your first-time officiant guide you through the detail-planning like you actually know what they're talking about – when it’s their first time?
…How does your first-time officiant craft a personal ceremony without it taking hours of rewrites and edits?
…How does your first-time officiant know what to look for when it comes to the ceremony elements and moving parts and stage directions… let alone run a rehearsal?
When I nervously walked up there to officiate my first few weddings, I yearned for the confidence that what I was about to deliver was any good. I didn’t have any confidence. It took dozens of ceremonies and hundreds of hours.
Now your officiant can tap into my full-time years of professional experience and thousands of hours working on electrifying weddings - because I'm going to teach your first-time friend or relative how!
Intimidated by all the formalities, elements, and protocols of a wedding ceremony and worried they'll really screw this up for you.
Guiding you like an expert as they work with you and for you to build the exact ceremony you want.
Stuck with the tired examples and worn-out platitudes you see at every wedding, but not knowing what else to do.
Crafting an exciting, one-of-a-kind wedding that will leave you and your guests raving that it's unlike anything you've ever seen.
Dreading standing up in front of you and all your most important people with only the barest hope that it will turn out.
Bursting with excitement to walk up there and make you proud, 100% certain that they're going to deliver.
If you're ready to take your friend or relative from new and scared to confident and professional...
I created Unboring!Wedding Academy for you!
Unboring!Wedding Academy is the premium online course that helps first-timers become one of the very best. No experience required. Training, tools, coaching, and community to make sure they get there with ease.
So, what is Unboring!Wedding Academy anyway?
Unboring!Wedding Academy is a 6-stage program that teaches your officiant how to gather everything they need, write with a purpose and a plan, and command the front on the wedding day.
From the ceremony planning meeting with you to sending you up the aisle just-married, they'll know exactly how to build a fun and riveting ceremony and what to expect at every stage – down to the last detail.
And here’s the best part: you will know they're working on a smashing wedding ceremony, and you'll be so excited to get down the aisle and see what they've created for them on the wedding day.
How do I know? Because I follow the system every weekend myself. And so do hundreds of other first-time and leading-edge officiants and celebrants in Unboring!Wedding Academy - and they tell me all about it!
By the end of the program, your officiant will…
- Have a full understanding of wedding ceremony elements and exactly where they go in the mix.
- Know how to tastefully engage the wedding guests and hold their captivated attention with your riveting love story and speech.
- Manage with expertise all the participants, documents, guests, vendors, and moving parts of a wedding day.
No more struggling. No more worrying. No more wasting time. Just preparation and fun.
Here's how Unboring!Wedding Academy breaks down...
STAGE ONE
Conduct a Thorough Workshop
How do they make sure the ceremony is exactly what you want - and nothing but? They sit down with you of course! Rather than being found out as a know-nothing when it comes to weddings, this is where they amaze you by guiding you through each element and all the options one at a time. I teach them how to be 100% prepared and a competent guide.
In Stage One, they're going to learn:
- Plan and execute a crucial and well-run one-hour ceremony planning session with you.
- Guide you through all the details, options, and elements of your ceremony.
- Use my downloadable Google Sheets spreadsheet to fill out all your preferences in the session.
STAGE TWO
Create a Clear Script
How do they actually produce the dozen-pages-or-so script of your ceremony? They start with mine! Rather than coming up with things to say or pasting well-worn wording from the internet, they're going to start with my proven script and swap in everything you already told them you want. It's that simple!
In Stage Two, they're going to learn:
- Steal my exclusive Unboring!Wedding Formula and make it their very own! This teaches them how to address whom in the ceremony, and what to say when.
- Take all the info from Stage One's wedding workshop and craft a clear, “movie-style” script just for you.
- Build out and customize the wording, stage directions, times, and people – and make the working script sharable with your so you can aprrove it all ahead of time.
- Use my downloadable Google Docs ceremony script template and adapt it for your script with ease.
STAGE THREE
Build a Concise Storyboard
How do they take on the overwhelming task of writing a great officiant speech? They follow my focused 5-part method. Rather than ask you irrelevant questions and receiving loads of overwhelming info, they send you a precision survey that takes no more than half an hour for you to fill out. Everything is provided for them and all they do is use the existing forms to get the perfect information they'll need from you.
In Stage Three, they're going to learn:
- Get all the data and intel they need to write an awesome love story about you!
- Adapt and send you my Google Forms templates - and to your hand-picked family and friends.
- Organize all the responses so they can write each section of their officiant speech quickly and easily.
STAGE FOUR
Write a Moving Speech
How do they write a speech that holds everyone's attention and does you proud? They follow the 3-act wedding story roadmap. Rather than cutting and pasting or spraying and praying, I have a proven technique so they can tell your story to moving tears and happy cheers.
In Stage Four, they're going to learn:
- Write a fun and moving story that will guaranteed-thrill you and wow your guests.
- Parse out the distinct sections of the story over a set number of days and practice the delivery. It's done in no time!
- My downloadable Google Docs fully-vetted story script template for them to swipe and adapt. What’s mine is now all theirs - and you'll love it!
STAGE FIVE
Run an Assertive Rehearsal
How do they get ready to choreograph all the people and places in the wedding ceremony? They plan it all through before they even arrive. Rather than get to the rehearsal and hope for the best, they're going to walk in with a checklist, take command, and lead everyone through the tightest and livelist 3-part rehearsal you've ever seen.
In Stage Five, they're going to learn:
- Prepare ahead to lead the moving parts like a pro.
- Guide you and all your family and friends through the walking, standing, and most important choreography of the ceremony.
- What to look for in the 3 parts of a 40-minute rehearsal + my downloadable checklist they can bring right into the rehearsal.
STAGE SIX
Officiate a Relaxed Ceremony
How do they keep their cool on the wedding day when everyone's nerves are through the roof? By knowing exactly what they're going to do from the moment they arrive, that's how! Rather than worry about all the things that might go wrong, they're ready for the planned and the unplanned - because they learned from a pro.
In Stage Six, they're going to learn:
- Connect your professional vendors with exactly what they need to know when they arrive.
- Checklist for every detail before the ceremony to make sure when they start that nothing fell through the cracks.
- Strategy and technique to deploy with you, the wedding party, and the guests so everyone is all warmed up and “on their side.”

MEET THEIR MENTOR
I'm Mark Allan Groleau.
I've been officiating weddings for 10 years. The first few were rough. In fact, I didn't even like doing weddings. But then in a risky move, I departed from convention and made the ceremony all about the couple and their story.
It was electrifying. I did it again and again. Over a few years, I developed a style and system that could guarantee I'd thrill every couple and their guests.
The Unboring!Wedding Formula was born. And with it, I found my mission: make weddings unboring everywhere. And this mission doesn't only extend to couples getting married. It includes you.
With this system, you join an elite group of couples, officiants and celebrants worldwide who are demonstrating just how fun and moving and elating a wedding ceremony can be. And the world is taking notice. My work has appeared on every major North American news network.
For you, your guests, and your officiant's maximum potential... let's do this. Settle for nothing less than a your wedding can be and make sure you're ecstatic with your ceremony!
Are you a perfect fit?
- You're done wanting a "just okay" wedding and wondering if your first-time officiant will do a passable job. You're ready to be excited for your ceremony and for your officiant to feel 100% confident.
- You're so over with the thought of your officiant cobbling together stuff you or them found on the internet and status-quo scripting. You want a fresh, proven, rave-review method that will guarantee results for your day.
- You're finished with them asking you questions you don't know the answers to. One thing you do know: it makes more sense to follow a trusted system for an incredible experience.
If any of these sounds like you, you’re exactly where you need to be.
