Muslim Wedding Emcee Script
Assalamu
Alaykum!
My husband and I were the emcees
in #AliaAndNur wedding. Well, unfortunately, my husband only did the
introduction part because he had to substitute the photographer (long boring
story, haha). And based on that experience, I realized that hosting a wedding is much better when it is done solo. It’s better and easier because you are the master
of your own script and you don’t have to wait for the “key” when you are about
to talk. Overall, it is less stressful. So if things doesn't go exactly as
planned (like what happened to us), it’s easy to manage and you don’t have to
re-write the script. Of course it very important to be prepared mentally and be
attentive always.
Below is a solo emcee script. I’ve
researched some ideas on Google and come up with my own Muslim Wedding version.
Actually, some of it were originally written in our native Maguindanaon
language which I translated only in English. My husband and I come up with the
idea that we should speak our language for our elders babo and bapa. Also, I
edited it for a solo emcee. Originally a double emcee. I attached the
wedding program to make it less complicated (haha). Muslim weddings are a bit
complicated.
Hoping
you find it useful.
Introduction
Ladies and
gentlemen, May I have your attention please.
Assalamu
Alaykum Warahmatullahi Taala Wabarakatuho
A pleasant
morning to everyone and Welcome to Alia and Nur’s wedding.
I am Ali and
I will be your emcee for this event.
Wow!
Everybody’d looking great today! Ma Sha Allah!
Anyway, we
are all here now for the reception and other parts of the program because the
wedding was already done this morning around 10am at a mosque in Purok 16. And
to enlighten our non-Muslim guests, in Islam, only the groom, the witnesses,
and other VIP’s are allowed to participate in Marriage rituals or the “Nikah”
as we Muslims call it.The bride and the groom will only be united after that.
So before anything else, on
behalf of the bride and the groom, I would like to thank you all for being with
us today. Especially for those who travelled many miles just to be with us. To
those who came from Palimbang, Ambalgan, and even in Libak. Thank you so much
to all of you.
And now for the most awaited
moment! The very reason why we are all gathered here!
Let us now witness, the parade of
the wedding entourage!
After
procession
Ladies and gentlemen, it is my
honor to introduce to you, for the first time
The bride and the groom. Alia and
Nur
Signing of
Marriage Contract
And to formally tie their
marriage by law, may I call on Miss Zahra Ibrahim..please..
With her is the famous marriage
contract to be signed by our newly weds.
There! Finally! Mabrouk to both
of you. You are now officially Mr. and Mrs. Gogolintang! How about that Alia,
you are no longer Fermin now.
Congratulation again.
Acknowledgments
A wedding not only unite two
hearts as one, but also bring each hearts of the two families together. I mean
like me, when I married my wife, I surely marry her family too. It’s like
making a big family a bigger one. And for the family of our newlyweds, I’m sure
that they’re very happy and proud of Alia and Nur. Yes, especially their
parents. Every parents dream is too see their children on their wedding day.
And that they are as much excited as their children right now.
So now, allow me to acknowledge
these very special people in the hearts of our newlyweds.
The groom’s parents: Mr. John
Heitz and Mrs. Heitz
The bride’s Parents: Mr. Abdullah
Fermin and Mrs. Amina Fermin
Thankyou so much!
I would also like to acknowledge
the following individuals who extended their support to our newlyweds during
the whole wedding preparation.

Thank you so much to all of you.
May Allah bless you all. Please bear in mind that all of this wouldn’t be
possible without you and of course with the grace of Almighty Allah swt.
Alhamdulillah.
Speeches
Okay. Moving on for the special
part of this ceremony. We want to make this day more special. So we would like
to tickle a little bit emotion from our newlyweds. Give them a few heads up and
emotional message. Of course who knows them better than their best friend right?
And now I would like to call on first, yes ladies first… the bride’s best
friend Ms. Hendra Usop.
(after the speech)
Thankyou so much Ms. Usop. That
was very touching. You almost ruined the Alia’s make-up.
(talk about the message)
And, ofcourse… for our groom,
please.. The groom’s best man none other than Ronnie Gogolintang..
(after the speech)
Thankyou so much. Wow! That was
something!
(again talk about the message)
Now, the next speech is very
important. I would like our newlyweds to listen very carefully to this, okay?I
would like to callUstads Haron Sabiwang to give our newlyweds some Islamic
advice regarding matters aboutMuslim Husband and wife in Islam.
(after speech)
Thank you so much Ustadz for all
the knowledge that you’ve shared. That was very useful not only for our
newlyweds but for other married couples that are present here today. We are
once again reminded of our duties and responsibilities as a Muslim.
Alhamdulillah

Remarks
This time. I guess we have
finally reached the end of this ceremony. So for the last part, may I call on
