Nope. There is no best man, maid of honour, bridal party or groomsmen.

It all starts at the Meeting House, where guests will arrive and take a seat in a circle. The Meeting for Worship will begin as people settle in to the stillness and quiet. In time, the couple will arrive and sit down together. The couple, when they are ready will stand, and say their vows in turn, asking for divine assistance in promising to be a loving and faithful spouse. For Quakers, marriage is a commitment made between two people and God, and the vows reflect this aspect of our faith. After that, a Quaker appointed as the registering officer for the meeting will read the Quaker marriage certificate aloud. The couple and a witness will sign it then, and the meeting for worship will continue.

From this point, any person present, whether a Quaker or not, may speak to share words of support or encouragement for the couple. Speaking in a meeting for worship is known as ministry, and each contribution is given space for others to reflect upon what is said, so people don't all speak at once. When the meeting for worship comes to a close, everyone present signs the big Quaker marriage certificate – even little children who can hardly write can make their own mark. Many people say that this simple signing ceremony is one of their favourite parts of Quaker weddings.

The first Quaker marriages were not legal, but we didn't want to marry secretly. To be as public as possible, everyone who witnessed the Quaker wedding was asked to sign a certificate saying that the couple was married. This helped prove to the civil authorities that the marriage should be recognised. Now Quaker marriages are legal, the tradition of the certificate has continued. For many couples it is more than just a pleasant memento of the day, but reminds them of the spiritual commitment they have made to each other in front of witnesses.

Nope, but children are still fully invited to play a part in a Quaker Wedding. There will be a Children's Worker present at the ceremony who will provide activities for the children to do while in joint worship with the adults. This is called "all-age Meeting for Worship".
