[Clears Throat]

Unfortunately,

there is a side

to man's nature...

that has always Been...

a woman's Burden.

[Clears Throat]

I must speak frankly.

Be Brave.

Ring those bells

Wedding bells

Ring so all the world may hear

Ring those chimes many times

Ring out sweet and clear

Ring those bells

Wedding bells

Ring so all the world may hear

Ring those chimes many times

Ring out sweet and clear

Joy to the bride

On this very merry wedding day

Joy to the groom

Happy man feels so happy as May

Long may they love

With united heartzs forever gay

Long may they live

Free of care in the middle of May

Warm thoughts of many springs

Love with a wedding ring

Who's all of everything

Oh, joyful day

Oh, joyful day

[Coughing]
