00:00The world, somehow I'd get it
00:04I would sell my very soul and not regret it
00:11For to live without your love, it's just my passion
00:20Can the ocean keep from rushing to the shore
00:26It's just my passion
00:31Good afternoon, your beloved family
00:36We would like to welcome you all here
00:38Those who've come from near and from far
00:43To celebrate our son, Nicky, and his lovely bride, Rachel
00:48I would like to take this opportunity to tell a story
00:51About the love that created you
00:55Because neither of you would be here
00:57If it weren't for you and me
01:08Some will spend their entire lifetimes
01:11Asking themselves what makes two people soulmates
01:14I can tell you this with absolute certainty
01:17I found my soulmate
01:19By a stroke of luck
01:20Some may even call it fate
01:23I was an intern at the time
01:25In fact, I had just completed a 30-hour shift
01:28When something tells me that I shouldn't leave just yet
01:31Something tells me that I need to go back and say goodbye to my buddy Beau
01:34Who was just starting his shift in the ER
01:37I hear this angry voice yelling at me
01:41I turn around
01:42And there is the most gorgeous woman I had ever seen staring at me
01:46And what was this gorgeous woman saying?
01:51She was saying
01:55That you put it back on
01:58And what a sight
01:59This beautiful woman is standing there
02:01With a bloody dish towel wrapped around her finger
02:03Saying she'd nearly sliced it off
02:05And she'd been waiting there all night
02:07Yes, we go back into the ER
02:09And I'm starting to wonder
02:10Does this man even work?
02:12You know, I convinced myself
02:14Because he's got the hospital badge
02:15He's got the scrubs
02:16So I think he must at least be a doctor
02:19Well, yeah, but I'm not an ER doctor
02:21Though I had done a rotation in emergency medicine
02:24So I'm racking my brain
02:25Trying to remember what to do
02:27I take her to an exam room
02:29And I start gluing her finger back together
02:30Which is going surprisingly well
02:31Oh, it was so painful
02:33And I started to think
02:34This guy really doesn't know what the hell he's doing
02:36But you stayed
02:37Well, you were cute
02:38And I was bleeding
02:39And just a short while later
02:42I took that same finger
02:44And I put a ring on it
02:45I still can't feel the tip of it, though
02:47Don't tell them that
02:49It's okay
02:50I'd make the same trade again and again
02:53To have you
02:55So
02:56Here we are
02:57Here all of you are
02:59And tonight
03:00I would like you to share your wisdom
03:03With our newest soldiers
03:04On the war path to holy matrimony
03:08Please join me
03:10In raising a glass with a happy couple
03:12To fate
03:14And pretending you can do something
03:16Even if you can't
03:17As long as it's in the name of love
03:22All right, please
03:23Let's enjoy the party
03:27My mother told us
03:28The best thing you can do
03:29Before you decide to marry someone
03:30Is go through something traumatic together
03:31How do you find out
03:33Who the other person really is?
03:34It's essential
03:36But what if nothing traumatic happens?
03:39Or did you go through something traumatic
03:41Together on purpose?
03:42Oh, no, we didn't need to
03:43Frank's mother died in front of us
03:45Has anyone died in front of you?
03:49Uh, kind of
03:52What about you and Nikki together?
03:56Uh, no
