A wedding banquet is a multi-hour event, and therefore it should be diluted with interesting surprises and entertainment. Relatively recently, a fun prank for guests appeared in the form of a screen showing an interview recorded immediately after the wedding ceremony of a young couple.
The wedding host, when interviewing friends of the newlyweds, asks some questions, but when editing the video, he voices completely different questions. In this publication we will take a closer look at how to prepare a comic interview at a wedding.
Video script
Wedding interview questions for guests.
The video will turn out funny if you plan its scenario in advance. First, the preparations for the wedding are shown at an accelerated pace. After analyzing frequently viewed works on the Internet, the following options can be distinguished:
- Getting ready for the bride and groom. Dressing young people at an accelerated pace always brings a smile.
- The wedding ceremony and the newlyweds leaving the registry office.
- Table setting by waiters in a banquet hall.
The presenter appears in the frame with the following text - today is the most luxurious wedding of the year and he would like to ask a few questions to the lucky ones who got to this holiday. The presenter voices questions that it is advisable to additionally show on the screen.
After all, because of the laughter in the hall, not everyone will hear them well. It’s even better to leave the question text at the bottom of the screen until guests answer it. Then comes the cutting of the recorded answers. It’s appropriate to end the video with a screensaver with one word – Bitter!
Sample list of questions for guests
We have rearranged the list of questions that will be heard in the video, and next to them are questions actually asked during the interview:
- Introduce youreself. – Name your favorite cartoon character.
- What holiday is today? – What is your favorite holiday of the year?
- How did you feel when you were invited to the wedding? – Would you be upset if the newlyweds didn’t invite you to the wedding?
- Describe the groom. – Ask some guests to describe Nikita Dzhigurda, and others Brad Pitt. You can ask them to describe cartoon characters. For example, Carlson and Winnie the Pooh.
- Describe the bride. – Ask someone to describe Angelina Jolie, and someone to describe Pamella Anderson, etc.
- What was the groom wearing when the bride first saw him? – Describe the appearance of the clown Popov.
- What does the groom do? – What do men do in the village?
- What does a bride do when she is left at home alone? – How can you spend a day of idleness?
- What song would you advise newlyweds to dance their first dance to? – Perform a fragment of a song in chanson style.
- Can you advise a young couple on names for their future children? – The most unusual male and female names?
- What treats will be on the table? – What is the optimal food package for going out into nature?
- What drink will you start your wedding celebration with? – What strong alcoholic drink do you know?
- What is your gift to the newlyweds? – How much can a serving of Olivier salad cost?
- Congratulate the newlyweds in an original way. – Wish the young people happiness and health.
By preparing a humorous interview at your wedding, you can make a fun surprise for the newlyweds and all invited guests. But when preparing the described prank, it is important not to accidentally offend anyone.
Some videos posted online ask who will give a young couple the least amount of money or drink the most vodka. In our opinion, such topics should not be raised. After all, people have different senses of humor.
We wish you a happy wedding!

Pavel, how did you get into this profession? Do you remember the moment when you decided to make weddings your life's work?
For me it was not a profession, but rather a way of life. My friends and I were always up to something back then. For example, a friend and I, who is now a leader in the wedding business, decided to organize celebrations in one evening. They staged mostly weddings. It was 2009. Then I wanted to move away from organizing to leading. The realization of the wish happened several seasons later. Since then, I no longer mix myself as an organizer and a presenter. Over 8 years of work, I learned to sound professional.

What should a professional wedding celebrant know?
The most important thing is an individual approach to the event. It would be professional not to shout about it, but to carry it as your main mission. And of course, you need to constantly change and work on quality. To do this you need to have a critical eye. Otherwise, the dust quickly settles and it seems that all this has already happened.
Is there a lot of competition among presenters?
The offer for wedding hosts is extensive.
But not all presenters succeed in surprising and being remembered. Although the possibilities for this are colossal. I energize myself. Therefore, I can organize smiles, laughter and joy everywhere. This is how I live. Recently, even a crowded beach became a stage for me - all the vacationers had very stony faces. Save Saved

You have been organizing weddings for a long time. Don't you feel monotonous or tired?
To enjoy my work, I take regular breaks from it. At the beginning of the season I bought a motorcycle. I took it to Lake Baikal and jumped there with a parachute. In July, between weddings, I plan to ride all the scary rides at Disneyland. I deliberately build a “busy schedule.” And God forbid I admit to myself that there are at least 15 unaccounted minutes in this schedule. Busy - therefore I exist. I'm not a workaholic and never have been. It’s just that for me what I do is not work. This is my mood.

Such a high level can only be achieved through regular practice. How do you manage to keep yourself in good shape?
I had different periods - both success and not so much. There are several criteria by which the success of a presenter can be assessed. One of them is word of mouth. And here, too, at times everything happens very differently. But, in my opinion, the most important thing is that the desire to do my job well does not leave me. On the contrary, it is only intensifying.

What advice can you give to couples when choosing a wedding officiant?
Take your time with your choice. Nowadays everyone who is not too lazy is engaged in management. Among such diversity, a professional is distinguished by a decent portfolio on his personal website. It is better to immediately agree among yourself who will officiate your wedding - a man or a woman? If you need a predictable result: within the agreed framework and with the required quality: a man will do a better job. A compromise is possible: paired management. The well-made duet is much easier to perceive also because the guests independently choose which of the M+F pair they like best.

What is the ideal time to prepare for a wedding, and how far in advance should you book a host?
The host is as basic a point in wedding preparation as finding a banquet venue. Already at the stage of selecting a restaurant, it becomes clear how hot the date of the celebration is. Interesting restaurants, as well as top-rated restaurants, are booked in advance. Ideal time to make an advance: three to four months before the event. After the main hits are closed, you can approve invitations, event floristry, etc. in a comfortable mode.

What questions should you ask during a meeting to find the right host for a couple?
I really enjoy meeting new couples. Every time at a meeting you realize that everyone is so different. Some approach their event easily and with a smile, others with all the seriousness of an experienced pessimist. But in fact, all the newlyweds I have met need one thing - to have fun and not go wrong. Once, at the first meeting, the bride asked me 100 questions about the work of a wedding host. And this is not a joke. The man just came prepared. Later, at her wedding, I told the guests about our interview and the room exploded with applause. It turns out that all her life she dreamed of being a journalist, but found herself in sports.

How to get away from boring competitions that scare most modern couples?
All the entertainment that I provide at weddings is unifying in nature. This distinguishes them favorably from the sensational competitions with dressing up or rolling tangerines. After each of my interactions, an additional joyful atmosphere is felt in the room. By creating a smile on their faces, the guests do not notice how the tension in the room disappears. Once the guests were so excited about my competitions that they demanded more and more. This happened to me for the first time: in one evening I conducted all my competitions and even those that I had not yet rehearsed with friends.

What kind of weddings are you most interested in leading? Do you feel in advance whether you and the couple will be on the same wavelength?
I always give 100 percent with all pairs. I understand that I am not doing this for anyone, but primarily for myself. People feel it. Therefore, in my portfolio it is precisely such couples, such fans of their wedding, crazy people in the good sense of the word.

You worked together with Paris Hilton, tell us about it?
Together with Paris Hilton, we brought the theme of Russian hospitality to the point of absurdity at one of the themed events. Bowing to the ground, a loaf of bread, a feast with black caviar, dashing dances and barrels of mead were celebrated in grand style. The Hollywood blonde especially liked the Russian tradition “ON THE ROAD”.
What was (or will be) your own wedding like?
I have been lucky in my life and career; I seem to be using my abilities as intended.
But the main thing you need for happiness is not ability and luck. The main thing is to find that person whom you feel more important than yourself. Now we are looking for each other. The wedding will be the one SHE dreamed of. I will only advise how to do it better. Save Saved
