We got married at the courthouse a couple of weeks ago and I couldn’t stop laughing during our ceremony. It was just us two and the judge so it wasn’t too embarrassing but I don’t want to do that at our wedding. I am a nervous laugher so I feel like I can’t help it. Our wedding is in a little over a week and all I can think about is how am I going to get through it without laughing. Any advice would be appreciated!
How do I not laugh during my wedding ceremony?

My friend and I caught the giggles in our friends wedding and it was a fucking nightmare. Only time in my life that’s happened. I feel guilty about it to this day. I’m serious I would seek professional help. Or at least ask Chat GPT and Google to see what they recommend.
I mean, who says you can’t laugh? I get what you’re saying, but it’s part of who you are and you’re getting married. She’s marrying you, nervous laughter and all. Try not to sweat it.
Also weddings are weird. If you’re writing your own vows and they’re funny, nobody’s going to question the laughing (which is how mine worked out). If you’re using super boring traditional vows, and the two of you are laughing, people are probably going to assume there’s an in-joke between the two of you that the attendees don’t know, but people won’t think negatively about it. Basically there’s no wrong answer as long as the two of you are chill about it.
If you put your mind into it, you can do pretty much anything. Just make it your top 1 priority for your wedding day.
A happy laughing man getting married sounds like a pretty nice wedding to me. Don’t overthink it.
No one cares. Maybe practice smiling and giggling silently instead of laughing? Just act like you’re so in love that you can’t help spasming while you smile at wifey. Unrelenting uncontrollable smiles at your lady will be cute as hell for the audience. So long as you don’t act embarrassed, it’s cute.
Definitely just tell the officiant/priest day-of that it might happen. That way, they’ll just bulldoze through it instead of halting the ceremony and asking if you’re having a seizure. That would be tough.
Courtroom is a very different dynamic and audience too. I wouldn’t get caught up on assuming that I’d react the same. It’s different and you never know til you do it.
You’ll be fine man. Congrats and good luck.
it is your wedding, not other people’s wedding. you do whatever you want at your wedding.
no sane person will have a problem with anybody laughing. this is your happy moment, enjoy it and stop thinking about the other people. they came for you, not you for them.
