I was MC at a wedding last September. It was a really fun movie themed wedding, a red carpet entrance, costumes, movie posters, etc. I was dressed as Clint Eastwood (grooms fav actor) from The Good, the Bad and the Ugly. It was a rented costume and looked awesome!
Along with the standard jokes and stories I had a digital projector hooked up to my laptop, I set it up for a long looping slideshow of pics of the couple. It played continuously for cocktails and the meal. During dessert I went to my laptop and proceeded to flip through 12 pictures I photoshopped of the couple. Each was from a different movie, but I told a story along with the pics like it was their life. This was a complete surprise to the couple and was the hit of the night.
3 strangers asked me later that night if I do many weddings, as I was one of the best emcees they ever saw. It was my first time I had a blast but was super nervous, I thought I bombed. Just have fun, if you enjoy yourself then you probably did a good job.
