00:00 We are gathered here today to celebrate the union of Matthew Casey and Sylvie Brett,
00:07 the members of Firehouse 51 who represent the very best of the Chicago Fire Department.
00:13 At the request of Matt and Sylvie, as part of this ceremony,
00:17 we will light a candle for the 578 Chicago firefighters who lost their lives in the line of duty.
00:24 Violet, you're the honors.
00:28 You know, in many ways, the lighting of that candle symbolizes who these two people are.
00:37 They have hearts as big as the sun.
00:41 You two are goodness, kindness, yes, bravery.
00:47 But on behalf of 51, I've also got to say that you are not the most savvy on a certain subject.
00:55 Let's be honest, everyone at 51 knew you two should have gotten married before you did.
01:01 Probably true.
01:05 I'm sure now, though, Chief.
01:07 You can be sure it is.
01:09 You will always be a part of the DNA of Firehouse 51, no matter how far you go.
01:14 51 will always be your home.
01:17 It is my honor to officiate this wedding and to pass it off to you now.
01:25 For your vows.
01:26 Thank you.
01:28 Sylvie Brett, getting here to this place was the toughest battle of my life.
01:41 It was worth every moment because we're here now.
01:49 You are my port in the storm.
01:51 The most generous, caring person I've ever known.
01:56 And sometimes the most stubborn.
02:00 So not true.
02:02 You would say that.
02:04 We were apart too long.
02:07 But now I promise that you will never be alone.
02:11 And I will always be by your side.
02:15 And that this, the two of us together, is a fire that will never go out.
02:22 I had to get a fire metaphor in there somewhere.
02:29 I appreciate it.
02:32 I guess it's my turn, okay.
02:36 Here's why I wanted to get married in the aquarium.
02:41 Years ago you and I took Amelia to go and see the fishes there, do you remember?
02:46 I remember.
02:47 What you probably don't know is...
02:51 That is when I realized that you are the only man for me.
02:58 The way you were with her.
03:01 I knew you were born to be a father.
03:04 And when you decided to be a father to the Darden boys...
03:10 It only made me love you more.
03:13 Even though I was trying so hard to let you go.
03:16 And I couldn't.
03:19 It's like you said, we were meant to be.
03:25 And we were meant to be a family.
03:28 We were.
03:32 And I just have one more thing I want to say.
03:37 All I wanted was for this wedding to be simple and intimate and perfect.
03:43 And...
03:44 It's all of those things.
03:47 Thank you, Tony, for knowing just how to make it right.
03:53 Told you this place was magical.
03:56 Yeah.
03:57 You guys have the rings?
03:59 [♪♪♪]
04:14 And on that note...
04:17 Matthew Casey, Sylvie Brett, I now pronounce you husband and wife and a family.
