@The wedding master will introduce the

@
Welcome citizens of Britannia,
I wish to thank you all for being present at this ceremony.
This is the most sacred day for #groom# and #bride#
who pronounce today their vows to each other
and seal for the eternity the bond of their hearts.

: Rummages through the pages of an ancient tome

For centuries, people have asked one question...
What is my reason for being on this world?
Many a sage hath searched for the answer.
But they all failed in their attempts.
There are those lucky people who do find the answer...
They do not find it in ancient treasure troves,
nor in the depths of secret dungeons or hidden by magic.
Nay, they find it in places where they would least expect it:
Drinking ale in a tavern and looking across the room,
some even when they fight monsters on the battlefield,...
or discuss tomes of ancient wisdom in some secret library...
The light comes at unexpected moments...
For at such a time, two souls come together,
Two souls ...
: looks at the couple
who should be.....
as one.
