wedding sermon
Marriage ceremony speech
A wedding sermon is a brief religious address delivered during a marriage ceremony, typically by the officiant.
It usually reflects on the meaning of marriage, offers spiritual guidance to the couple, and may incorporate scripture or religious teachings: The pastor's wedding sermon focused on love and commitment.
Distinguished from wedding vows or toasts, the sermon is the contemplative, instructional portion of the service.
