- Are we ready?

- Yep, we're ready.

In the name of the Father,

and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,

amen.

Father,

Son and the Holy Spirit, amen.

You may kiss the bride.

- Ah, yes. Thank you.

- Thank you.

- It's just over the far right.

- Thank you.

- Hi.

- Hiya.

- Hey.

- Hi.

I'm so proud of ya.

Thanks.

I think it's better if you didn't read

out that speech you wrote.

I think it's lovely and it's really funny.

I just... Mary, it's just not appropriate.

- What do you want me to say?

- It's OK.

Leona has got it covered.

You can just sit back and enjoy your night.

You've done loads already.

OK.

"All day I've been looking

at you, at me friend,

"and thinking about how long we've known

each other, and how much you mean to me.

"It feels like only yesterday we were walking

to school and making each other laugh.

- "And now, look where we are."

- Aww.

"You're the smartest person I know,

you're gorgeous looking.

"And you're the most generous person

in the whole world."

You are, Char.

OK, folks. So, we're gonna pass it over to

the father of the bride now,

so round of applause for him.

Hey, this is Jess. Leave a message.

Hiya, Jess. It's Mary.

I know you don't want me to call, but...

I'm locked. So...

Actually, I'm not locked.

I haven't had a drink all day

so I dunno why I said that.

I just wanted to say sorry for everything

that happened.

I don't know what's wrong with me.

I keep hurting people and I don't know why.

I think you were right

about me and Charlene.

You're probably right

about a lot of things.

I miss you.

Me and her were the best.

The most beautiful.

Me and her.

Me and her.

Me and her.

Hey!

Are you going?

Yeah.

All right, well... Thanks for everything.

You're welcome.

I'm f***in' married, Mary!

I know.

When I get back from me honeymoon,

me and you are goin' out on the town.

Just the two of us.

I'll see ya, Char.

See ya, babe.

Where would you be going,

if you were going out?

Music?

Are you into your music?

Would you be getting up

and dancing and all? Yeah?

What else do you get up to then?

Over the weekend in your spare time?

- I go surfin'.

- You're a surfer!

No way. That's mad.

Hey.
