How Do To A Wedding Huddle

Now, before the ceremony kicks off, the groom carefully selects his huddle squad.

Usually, it’s their adult children or close friends. These lucky few are the only ones in on the secret.

So, there you are, rings about to be exchanged. I, as the celebrant, turn to the blushing bride, let’s call her Carol, and say,

“Now, Carol, we all know getting married is serious business. Are you absolutely sure you want to marry this crazy person named Ally?”

And Carol, with a big smile, says, “I am.”

But wait!

The real fun is about to begin.

We turn to the groom, and I repeat the question,

“And what about you, Ally? Are you ready to take this leap of faith with Carol?”

And Ally, with a mischievous grin, goes, “Hold on a minute.”

He signals his huddle team, they gather in a tight circle, heads close together, and start whispering like a bunch of secret agents.

It’s even better when Ally occasionally glances up at Carol, trying to keep her on her toes.

After what feels like an eternity, Ally returns to me, the huddle disperses, and he says,

“Could you ask me that question one more time, please?” Oh, the suspense!

So, I oblige and restate the question,

“Alright, Ally, let’s be serious for a moment. Are you absolutely sure you want to marry this wonderful woman named Carol?”

And Ally, with a twinkle in his eye, confidently replies, “I am!”

And just like that, we’re back on track.
