"Oh I don't think so... I might be a little more hyper than the two of you combined though. But then I did have a good bit of coffee before you joined the land of the living." She grinned at Robin. There was no way she was more excited than he was, was there? "But it's not everyday you get to join two of the most legendary people on the planet in holy matrimony." Her voice dropped to a whisper as Marian started down the isle.
The song was timed perfectly, just as Marian took Robin's hand. It was now or never. Beaming she began the speach...
"Dearly Beloved: We are gathered here, in the presence of God and of this company, that Robin of Locksley and Marian Fitzwalter of Knighton may be united in holy matrimony. We are here to celebrate and share in the glorious act that God is about to perform - the act by which He converts their love for one another into the holy and sacred estate of marriage.
This relationship is an honorable and sacred one, established by our Creator for the welfare and happiness of mankind, and approved by the Apostle Paul as honorable among all men. It is designed to unite two sympathies and hopes into one; and it rests upon the mutual confidence and devotion of husband and wife.
May it be in extreme thoughtfulness and reverence, and in dependence upon divine guidance, that you enter now into this holy relationship." She glanced from Marian to Robin, and then back. She almost had wanted to leave this part behind... But instinct told her not too... Why?
"Being assured that your love and your choice of each other as lifelong companions are in God's will and that you have your families' blessings. I now ask. Who gives this woman to be married to this man?"
