“I call upon everyone here to witness that I, Paul, take you, Stephanie, to be my lawful wedded wife, friend, and lover. I choose you above all others to share my life with me in marriage. I love you for yourself, and I want you to become all that you can be. I will love and respect you all the days of my life. I come here today to marry you, Stephanie, knowing in my heart that you will be my constant friend, my faithful partner in life, and my one true love.”

Bill:
“I call upon everyone here to witness that I, Bill, take you, Satoko, to be my lawful wedded wife.
Satoko, with all the stupid things I do and have done in my life, at least I had the good sense to ask you to be my wife.”
Satoko:
“I call upon everyone here to witness that I, Satoko, take you, Bill, to be my lawful wedded husband.
I can be difficult to deal with sometimes, but I know that I don’t have to pretend to be something I’m not—and you accept me for what I am.”
Adam (please repeat after me):
“I call upon everyone here to witness that I, Adam, take thee, Neelah, to be my lawful wedded wife.

Christopher:
“I call upon everyone here to witness that I, Christopher, take thee, Mary-Jane, to be my lawful wedded wife.
Today I marry my friend—the one I have laughed with and cried with, the one I have learned with and shared with, the one I have chosen to support, encourage, and give myself to through all the days given to me to share. Today I marry the one I love.”
Mary-Jane:

I Like You and I know Why
I like you and I know why. I like you because you are a good person to like. I like you because when I tell you something special, you know it’s special. And you remember it a long, long time. You say, Remember when you told me something special. And both of us remember.
When I think something is important you think it’s important too. We have good ideas. When I say something funny, you laugh. I think I’m funny and you think I’m funny too. Hah-hah!
I like you because you know where I’m ticklish. And you don’t tickle me there except just a little tiny bit sometimes. But if you do, then I know where to tickle you too. You know how to be silly – that’s why I like you. If I am getting ready to pop a paper bag, then you are getting ready to jump.
HOORAY
I like you because when I am feeling sad. You don’t always cheer me up right away. Sometimes it is better to be sad. You can’t stand the others being so googly and gaggly every single minute. You want to think about things. It takes time.
I like you because if I am mad at you. Then you are mad at me too. It’s awful when the other person isn’t. They are so nice and oooh you could just about punch them on the nose.
I can’t remember when I didn’t like you. It must have been lonesome then. Even if it was the 999th of July. Even if it was August. Even if it was way down at the bottom of November. I would go on choosing you. And you would go on choosing me Over and over again. And that’s how it would happen every time.
Fair Dinkum Love
Fair dinkum love isn’t about bringing in a dozen red roses. It’s about bringing in the washing. It’s not about standing next to your partner because they look good on your arm. It’s about standing by them even when they look foolish. Fair dinkum love isn’t about stiff posture and smart clothes. It’s about wrestling on the couch in your tracksuit. It’s not about oysters and candle-lit dinners. It’s about bringing home Chinese when your partner’s had a busy day. Fair dinkum love isn’t about exciting getaways and fancy resorts. It’s about being totally content sleeping-in together at home. It’s not about gym memberships and facelifts. It’s about growing old and fat together. Fair dinkum love is not about romance or image or success. Fair dinkum love is about two average people adoring and accepting each other for who they are.
