"In the past two days, we have seen our town respond to hardship with courage, resilience, and selflessness." "Today, we assemble to celebrate the union of two of our town folk who have displayed the greatest of humanity in the darkest of times." "Who supports this woman in her marriage to this man?" "I do." "And who accepts this man into their family?" "BOTH:" "We do. (All chuckle)" "Ladies and gentlemen," "Louisa and Nick have asked that you be a part of their day by becoming involved in the ceremony." "Each of you has played a special part in their lives." "We ask that you say, 'We do' if you bring Louisa and Nick to be married to each other." "ALL:" "We do." "And I invite you all to join hands, and, thus joining hands, so too your hearts." "I ask you whether you come here today giving yourself happily to one another in marriage." "BOTH:" "We do." "Will you, Nick, take this woman to be your wedded wife?" "I do." "And will you, Louisa, take this man to be your wedded husband?" "I do." "(Mum!" ")" "Sean, may I have the rings, please?" "(Stifled laughter)" "It has taken me 30 years to get you to say yes." "Forget the rings." "'Yes' is good enough for me." "Me, too." "Forget the rings. (Chuckles)" "Ooh, wait." "You can use these." "Oh!" "Thank you, darling." "I, Louisa, give you, Nick, my heart, my strength, and my trust." "And I, Nick, give you, Louisa, my love, and I promise to watch over you for the rest of your life." "Thank you." "I now pronounce you husband and wife." "(Cheer, applause)" "Hi." "So brilliant, Marg." "Oh, that means so much, coming from you." "I want you just right there." "OK?" "That's good." "No, no, no!" "No, no - facing apart." "Save that for later." "Just there." "That's good..." "You're grinning." "You're loving this, aren't you?" "Well, it's kind of the end to a long story." "But... but the beginning of another." "OK, this is the spot, everyone!" "Everyone just squash in together." "Come on, come on, come on." "That's it." "MINNA:" "If you get on the left side?" "Or the right." "That's good." "OK." "If you could come over this way." "Stay there." "Wait, wait, wait." "If you can't see the camera, the camera can't see..."
