Marriage is the union of husband and wife in heart, body and mind. It is intended for their mutual joy – and for the help and comfort given on another in prosperity and adversity. But more importantly – it is a means through which a stable and loving environment may be attained.
Through marriage, fezzyfestoon and Rin-chan make a commitment together to face their disappointments – embrace their dreams – realize their hopes – and accept each other’s failures. fezzyfestoon and Rin-chan will promise one another to aspire to these ideals throughout their lives together – through mutual understanding – openness – and sensitivity to each other.
We are here today to witness the joining in marriage of fezzyfestoon and Rin-chan. This occasion marks the celebration of love and commitment with which this man and this woman begin their life together. And now I will join you together in marriage.
Who gives this woman in marriage to this man?
A touching moment. I urge our Senators to take note of this loving institution they no longer acknowledge.
