"Do you, Joseph Allen, take this woman

as your lawfully wedded wife?

"Do you promise to love, honor, comfort

and cherish her in sickness and in health

"and prosperity and in adversity

"for better or for worse

as long as you both shall live?"

Well, say, "I do. "

I do.

"Do you, Alice Maybery, take this man

to be your lawfully wedded husband?

"Do you promise to love, honor, comfort,

and cherish him in sickness and in health,

"in prosperity and in adversity

"for better or worse

as long as you both shall live?"

I do.

Place the ring upon the third finger

of the bride's left hand.

I haven't got a ring.

Under the law,

it is not necessary to have a ring.

"For as you both consented in wedlock

"and have acknowledged it

before this company,

"I do, by virtue of the authority vested in

me by the laws of the State of New York,

"now pronounce you husband and wife.

"And may God bless your union. "

Here, you take this.

- Boss, here's the 5:18 local.

- Fine.

That's Sunday, stupid. Look up weekdays.

And, Irving, hold the elevator.

- Here you are.

- Thank you.

- Good luck.

- Thank you.

Thanks.

I didn't have any flowers.

No.

- We didn't have time...

- We rushed so.

- Good luck.

- Thank you.

Thank you.

You're not eating your soup.

- I don't feel very hungry.

- Me either.

It isn't very good soup, I guess.

I wonder what Helen's going to say

when I tell her.

I guess she'll be surprised, all right.

- I'm gonna have to tell Aunt Martha, too.

- Yeah.

I have to tell my folks.

Are your mother and father living?

Yes. Are yours?

Yeah. Yeah.

They're living.

Do you suppose, maybe

I should write to your folks, maybe?

I suppose so.

I suppose I should write to yours.

Yeah. That would be nice.

Would you like to see our house

out home?

That one's me,

and that one there is mother.

- Do you suppose she'll like me?

- Sure. Sure, she will.

I should say so.

When does your train go, Joe?

Well, I don't have to be back in camp

till tomorrow noon.

I guess you're not very glad

you married me,

are you, Alice?

I'm sorry, Joe.

I guess I... I don't feel very married.

I know. I don't blame you.

It wasn't your fault. It was... It's just...

It was... It was so...

It was so

ugly.

- I know. I know.

- It was... It didn't...

I know. I know. It's all right, darling.

It's all right.

I'm fine, darling. I'm fine.

Goodbye, my dear.

It's the marriage service.

Yes.

"Dearly beloved, we are gathered together

here in the sight of God

"and in the face of this company

"to join together this man and this woman

in holy matrimony. "

"Which is an honorable estate. "

"And, therefore, is not by any

"to be entered into unadvisedly or lightly,

"but reverently, discreetly,

advisedly, soberly,

"and in the fear of God.

"Wilt thou have this woman

to thy wedded wife?

"Wilt thou love her, comfort her

in sickness and in health,

"and forsaking all others,

keep thee only unto her

"as long as ye both shall live?"

I will.

"I take thee, Alice, to my wedded wife,

"to have and to hold

from this day forward,

"for better and for worse,

for richer or for poorer,

"in sickness and in health,

"to love and to cherish

till death do us part.

- "Our Father who art in Heaven. "

- "In Heaven. "

- "Hallowed be Thy name. "

- "Thy name. "

- "Thy kingdom come. "

- "Thy kingdom come. "

- "Thy will be... "

- "Thy will be... "

Joe.

I love you.

I'll love you till the day I die.

Alice.

Try... Will you try not

to think about anything...

Joe.

Darling, you're coming back.

Do you want me to tell you how I know?

Two days ago you came to this city

and you didn't know anyone.

You didn't know me and I didn't know you.

And now we're married.

And we both know that

that was meant to be.

So don't you see, whoever makes

the arrangements for people

is doing pretty well for us.

That's all we need to know.

- Come on, fellows, let's go.

- Come on, let's get going.

Are you sure you can't send me

your laundry?

Ma, don't worry about those things.

Don't worry, dear, I will.

Just be waiting for me.

- You won't forget, will you?

- Don't be silly. As though I could forget.

Are you sure that

you've got everything straight?

The insurance on the car

runs out the 17th.

- I know it does.

- You have to see Henry about that.

Goodbye, son.

Now, you take good care of your mother.

- Goodbye, dear.

- Goodbye, Allan.

Say goodbye to your father, dear.

- Goodbye, darling. I love you.

- I'll be all right, Mom.

- You just take it easy.

- God bless you.

God bless you.

I hope you have a good trip, dear.

Goodbye, darling.

Take good care of yourself.

- Don't forget to write.

- I won't.

I love you.

- See you soon.

- See you soon.
