Ah, weddings! The one day where a couple commits to each other for life while everyone else sits around judging the cake. And when two comedians decide to tie the knot, you can guarantee that the laughter will overshadow even the questionable choice of mismatched napkins!
Let’s talk about Des Bishop and Hannah Berner—who, despite the age gap that would make a T-Rex and a chicken look like they’re just a small family feud, look pretty happy in wedded bliss. Des is a sprightly 48, and bless Hannah for being 33. Did I mention this was a comedy wedding? If the old saying goes, “Age is just a number,” it looks like that number needs some reading glasses!
On the “Chicks In The Office” podcast—honestly, what a name! I’d expect a bunch of hens sitting around gossiping rather than a power couple of comedy chatting about their special day—the duo shared some delightful snippets of their wedding. The lovely Hannah got a bit nervous during Des’ speech. You know how it goes, “He’s telling great jokes and I’m over here like a kid trying to impress their dad at a magic show.” But don’t worry; she whipped out her phone for last-minute inspiration. Great, it’s not only family photos she’s missing out on; she’s missing out on her husband’s heartfelt words too!
But being the stand-up comic that he is, Des took his shot, teasing her for ‘not listening.’ I mean, I can just picture it: guests chuckling while Hannah tries to frantically remind herself that ‘bride-zilla’ isn’t a thing until after the first dance. Then, the sass came through! Hannah eventually got her revenge with a joke about wishing she had met Des in his 20s, only realizing, “Oh wait, I’d have been in elementary school!” Cue Des jumping in with, “No, no, it would have been kindergarten!”
Ah, the age gap. It’s like that oversized table at Thanksgiving—you can ignore it, but it often sits right at the center of the table. But here’s the kicker: Des wasn’t just laughing it off; he relished it! That’s a man comfortable in his own skin. It’s a beautiful sight when someone can make endless jokes at their own expense while making their partner blush with pride—unlike me in gym class, when the teacher asked me to demonstrate how to jump rope.
The humorous back-and-forth continued throughout the podcast episode. We even got insights into their wedding prep. Apparently, plunged into the pandemonium of wedding TikTok, Hannah went from ‘whatever, it’ll happen’ to ‘let’s plan every last detail!’ Ah, social media: the devil’s playground where brides become mini-planners and grooms just hope for an open bar.
Their challenge wasn’t the vows—Des was brought up Catholic and yet, was an atheist. Make sense? Only in comedy! The real concern? Having all their friends enjoying the day. Which is hilarious, because you know what they say: “If your guests are having fun, it means they haven’t noticed the buffet was actually just snacks from the corner shop!”
One solid piece of advice from the comedic couple? When seating your guests, gather all the fun, rowdy ones near the dance floor. Smart—let the chaos ensue and make it contagious! That’s how you transform a wedding into an absolute raucous rave. Just remember, if Uncle Bob starts breakdancing, you’ve made the right choice!
So, there you have it: Des and Hannah, proving that love, laughter, and a well-placed punchline are the perfect combination for a wedding. If only I had thought of that back when I was tying my own shoes—let alone the knot! Here’s to love, here’s to laughter, and may all your wedding vows go better than your roasting abilities at your own comedy show! Cheers!
When two comedians tie the knot, it’s almost a certainty that their wedding will be an event overflowing with laughter and witty anecdotes.
Des Bishop and Hannah Berner certainly delivered on the comedy front during their much-anticipated wedding in West Hampton, USA, back in 2022, which left guests in stitches.
On an episode of the Chicks In The Office podcast, the happily married couple, aged 33 and 48, shared captivating insights about their union and how they’ve adjusted to the joys of married life. The duo also reminisced about Hannah’s memorable wedding speech, which playfully poked fun at Des and sent waves of laughter through the audience.
Hannah humorously recounted her growing nerves during Des’ speech, as his jokes resonated with the crowd, making her anxious about how to follow suit. In a lighthearted moment, Des teased her for not paying attention, humorously suggesting she was busy on her phone rather than listening to him.
However, Hannah cleverly turned the tables with her own joke, revealing, “His laughs per minute were better, but my pause break for the punchline helped me.” This remark not only showcased her quick wit but also drew further laughter from their guests.
The punchline from Hannah’s wedding speech undoubtedly took aim at the couple’s age difference, a topic she has publicly expressed amusement over; she playfully lamented, “I’m so upset I haven’t lived all your life with you because you’re older. Sometimes I wish I met you in your 20s, but I realize I would have just been in elementary school.”
Des couldn’t resist interjecting to correct the narrative, quipping, “No, it was kindergarten! I really wish you had let me finish telling it!” Despite being the target of the light-hearted jab, Des was all smiles, affirming, “You had to tell it; it was hilarious!”
Hannah also shared her amusing journey of wedding planning, disclosing that after stumbling upon “wedding TikTok,” she became deeply involved in the preparations, saying, “Des allowed me to be creative and fun.” She noted how the wedding was simply a wonderful opportunity to bring everyone together, adding, “I feel the same, but it was a great excuse to have everyone together.”
Reflecting on their special day, the couple highlighted that the most daunting task was ensuring that their friends and family felt happy. “You really have to quiet your people-pleaser instincts and remember that if people don’t have fun, it’s not entirely on you,” Hannah advised.
When it came to the much-anticipated first kiss and first dance, the pair decided to go into it blind without practicing, but Hannah humorously assured those present that Des “nailed it.” Des expressed how the ceremony itself was especially meaningful to him, noting that the traditional vows resonated deeply due to his Catholic upbringing.
“Ours were traditional vows, and Hannah’s family friend Bernie officiated the ceremony. We were nervous about delivering our vows,” Des recalled. “Even though I’m an atheist, growing up as an altar boy made me attach sentimental value to the wedding elements.”
As for their words of wisdom for other engaged couples? They emphasized that “sometimes the mistakes are the best part,” advising to seat guests by personalities to create a lively atmosphere. “Position all the rowdy guests near the dance floor; the energy they bring will make everyone else want to join in!” they concluded.
