It's official! The “I dos” have been said, rings exchanged and now all that's left to do is celebrate.
Whether you're a guest, family member, part of the wedding party or one half of the newly-minted couple, you might be on the hunt for a wedding caption to post on Instagram along with photos of the big day.
Of course, proper wedding etiquette dictates that if you aren't one of the two people getting married, then you need to wait until the couple posts the first photos before adding your own pictures from the celebration.
After that, you're officially allowed to share the most memorable moments from the nuptials with friends, family and followers. When you do, these wedding captions will come in handy.
From traditional sayings like, “They lived happily ever after” to cute wedding captions like “Hugs and Kisses from the new Mr. and Mrs,” you're sure to find exactly the right sentiment to top off your post.
You'll also find captions inspired by popular wedding songs including John Legend's timeless tune, “All of Me” and “Thinking Out Loud” by Ed Sheeran, as well as romantic messages inspired by classic movies like “Jerry Maguire” and “Notting Hill.”
The best part? You can use these sayings, to have and to hold, to love and cherish, from this day forward.
Should you have any objections, speak them now or forever hold your peace. No? Well then, we now pronounce these the very best wedding captions.
