A unique and lighthearted approach was taken by Cara and John Ellman-Yuan as they legally tied the knot in anticipation of their upcoming elopement in Ireland. The couple decided to have a “very casual” ceremony at their home in Kansas City, Missouri on Sunday, Jan. 26 with only six close friends in attendance. Surrounded by their best friends, the bride, 28, and groom, 31, aimed to handle the legal side of their marriage in a fun and enjoyable manner.
The ceremony took an unexpected turn when the guests were invited to participate in a Kahoot! game to determine the two individuals who would get the honour of signing the marriage certificate as witnesses. Emily Wilson, a dear friend of the couple and the officiant for the ceremony, shared the fun-filled moment on social media. The group, including the bride and groom, engaged in a competitive Kahoot! battle on their phones to decide the witnesses.
While some might find a Kahoot! game unconventional for a wedding, it added a touch of organisation to the otherwise relaxed affair. Participants, clad in comfortable attire, eagerly tackled the game designed by the couple. The questions covered various aspects of John and Cara’s lives, ranging from personal preferences to shared experiences, making the game both entertaining and meaningful for all involved.
The Kahoot! game featured categories such as ‘John Lore,’ ‘Cara Lore,’ ‘The Couple,’ and ‘The Cats,’ reflecting the couple’s unique journey together. One of the questions revolved around John’s favourite toy, while another delved into the backstory of naming their beloved cat. The game culminated in bridesmaid Amanda Jenkins, 30, and maid of honor Alex Rosell, 26, achieving the highest scores and joyfully signing the marriage certificate as witnesses.
John and Cara’s love story began on a dating app, leading to their engagement in March 2024. Following three years of a fulfilling relationship, the couple has plans for a formal wedding ceremony in early March. The decision to incorporate a Kahoot! at their legal ceremony not only added a sense of fun but also highlighted the couple’s desire to include their friends in a memorable and intimate moment.
The couple’s motivation to blend lightheartedness with the legal aspect of their marriage showcased their innovative approach to celebrating love and friendship. By involving their closest friends in a game of Kahoot! to determine witnesses, Cara and John created a truly unique and unforgettable wedding experience. As they look ahead to their formal ceremony, their bond is strengthened by the cherished memories created during their unconventional but heartwarming legal union.
