01:34Please be seated.
01:41We have all gathered here to witness the joining of these two beloved souls.
01:49It has been said that love is patient, love is kind.
01:55But I have found it to be much more life-threatening than that.
02:00When we first fall in love, we become soft.
02:04And in our softness, we are stabbed all the way through the chest.
02:09That's love.
02:11It's a metal rod through the heart, piercing you.
02:17Every day, you hope that that rod isn't ripped out.
02:21But like any risk, it's the thrill that makes it all worthwhile.
02:30To love fully, one must offer themselves up.
02:33The most important decision is who you trust to hold the other end of that metal rod.
02:40And now the couple has decided to write their own vows.
02:43So, Rachel, we'll start with you first.
02:53Nikki, falling for you was so easy and it happened so fast.
02:58Our first date was in a rental car and it lasted four days.
03:06Four days.
03:09And I remember thinking,
03:15I never want to get out of this car.
03:18And four days is now forever.
03:29I spent my life trying to arm myself against bad luck.
03:36Always in pursuit of certainty.
03:44But as we know, this week has put us through the fucking ringer.
03:48Sorry, put us through the ringer and through it all,
03:56I realized that you can't rely on certainty
04:03because there is no certainty in marriage, in love, in anything.
04:09The only certainty in life is death.
04:17The only certainty in life is death.
04:26The only certainty in life is death.
04:46So, fuck certainty.
05:02I have nothing to worry about.
05:05because you
05:07you are my good luck charm
05:09you have always
05:10always
05:11always been my good luck charm
05:15it's true
05:17so
05:20I vow
05:21Mickey
05:23to see you truly
05:25as you have done for me
05:27and I promise to
05:31believe in you
05:33and believe in us
05:38because that
05:40that's really what this
05:41this is
05:42it's a leap of faith
05:45we don't know what's going to happen but
05:47we believe
05:48it's going to work out
05:52and I
05:55I believe
05:56you are my soulmate
06:05so wherever we're going
06:07wherever we're going
06:10I never want to get out of this rental car
06:16okay I'm done
06:18okay Nicky your turn
06:20yeah
06:21okay
06:23I wrote mine down
06:28Rachel
06:31I wish I went first
06:32that's tough
06:33that is tough to follow
06:34um
06:35okay
06:36Rachel
06:37as you could see
06:38from the second you got here
06:40I grew up in a household
06:42where marriage was
06:45highly regarded
06:46so
06:47of course
06:48when you told me
06:49two weeks
06:50into our relationship
06:51that you'd never get married
06:52I thought
06:54she was the one
06:57but really I never had to
06:59interrogate
07:00if you were the one
07:01because
07:02I was just new
07:05and after spending
07:06one hour
07:07with you
07:09I thought to myself
07:10I hope
07:12every hour is like this
07:13and if I don't spend
07:15the rest of my life
07:16with her
07:16it's because
07:17I fucked up
07:19really badly
07:21I made a vow
07:22to myself
07:22not to fuck it up
07:24really badly
07:24so that I could stand
07:25at an altar one day
07:26making vows to you
07:31so here we are
07:35I promise
07:36to always give you
07:38my love

11:50what do you think the week of a wedding is
11:53you were supposed to take the leap of faith
11:54with me
11:55I did
11:55I did that's what I was doing
11:57no that was you hiding behind a philosophy
11:59and fearing the future based on other people's bad decisions
12:02I was the one putting my confidence in us
12:05I'm doing the same thing
12:06oh how is this the same thing
12:07you just agreed that all that matters is us
12:10I'm looking out for us
12:11how
12:12I just refuted my family's whole value system for you
12:14but I didn't ask you to
12:16okay but Rachel I know you never wanted to get married
12:19and now I see it and I finally understand
12:21why
12:22you have to marry me
12:23Rachel
12:24no we have to get married
12:25Rachel you've literally always said you never wanted to get married
12:28yeah that was before
12:28neither was a fucking marriage curse tied to my bloodline
12:30and actually if you hadn't proposed to me we'd be fine
12:33and it's not your fault
12:34okay it is not your fault
12:35you didn't know I didn't know
12:37but now we know
12:38and now we have to get married
12:40that's not a reason to get married
12:43it should be because we love each other
12:45and we believe in that
12:46I know but that's not the fucking situation that we're in now
12:56oh my god
12:58why are you doing this now
13:02what the fuck Mickey
13:04why are you doing this now
13:16yeah more
13:17more
13:17more
13:18yeah that
13:19yeah thank you
13:20that's how much everyone should be getting
13:21everyone even the minors
13:22that one's for you
13:23he was in crisis Victoria
13:24he was looking to me for guidance
13:26and I had to be honest
13:31how was I supposed to know he was going to react like
13:34because he idolizes us
13:35he thinks we have the perfect marriage
13:39we do
13:43he ruined my relationship with my son
13:46I will never have the chance to regain his trust
13:49no no he loves you
13:52he took away my ending
13:53wait come back
13:55Victoria
13:58honey
13:59what happened up there
14:00are you okay with this
14:02is Mickey okay
14:03what do we do
14:04thank you
14:05it's just a little silly disagreement
14:07they will be
14:08could someone do the wrong
14:09I don't want anyone thirsty
14:11cheers
14:11cheers
14:14like you mean it
14:15mommy hi
14:16I'm keeping the energy out
14:24why'd you even propose to me then
14:27if I've always said I didn't want to get married
14:29all it took was you finding out that your parents marriage isn't perfect
14:33that's what you needed
14:34to do the thing that I've been saying I wanted since the day we met
14:39I could have told you an hour into knowing them Nikki
14:41that your parents don't have the marriage you vitalized your whole life
14:44your mother is lovely yes
14:45but she's also a narcissist and your father is a broken romantic
14:48who's looking for something to stuff the rest of himself into
14:50so their marriage only works because he reveres her
14:54and she needs to be revered
14:55he's completely consumed by her and still he's not enough for her
14:58so they're both empty and it's depressing to watch
15:01thanks Rachel
15:02yeah
15:03thanks
15:04thank you for that
15:05so I guess we both don't want to end up like your parents
15:08and um
15:09just to be clear
15:11in that scenario
15:13I'm the romantic and you're the narcissist
15:16oh
15:17that's nice
15:19yeah no that does make sense actually
15:21because our whole relationship revolves around you
15:25okay
15:26it's always me
15:27reassuring you that everything's okay
15:30even when there's literally nothing going on
15:32because you think something's always out to get you
15:36so I'm always tiptoeing around your sensitivities
15:39because you can't handle
15:41I get it
15:41anything
15:42I get it
15:42not even one day with my family
15:45I get it Nikki
15:45constantly reassuring you
15:48every little thing is just an exhausting puzzle with you
15:52nothing is easy
15:53you're a really hard person to love
15:56I know
15:59okay I know
16:04is that what you want to hear
16:09oh fuck

16:35of course
16:35the support is going to reserve
16:37it's okay
16:44why'd you say yes then
16:47when I proposed
16:48why'd you say yes
16:49because
16:50because I knew how much it meant to you
16:52and I loved you
16:54and
16:58Nikki you're like the only person
17:01who could have gotten me here

17:36that I love the most about you
17:38is that you are a rock
17:39you are consistent
17:40you are stable
17:41and you don't do things
17:42like dump me

18:02and say yes
18:04with confidence
18:06and if you don't marry me
18:08by sundown
