Wedding ceremony timer
Paste the words you plan to say. The clock uses about 130 words a minute, which is a calm pace, not a rule. Then tick the sections you already have.
This stays in your browser. Nothing is uploaded.
Stage directions in brackets are counted too. Remove them for a truer estimate.
