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, but I have found it to be much more
01:57life threatening than that.
02:00When we first fall in love we become soft and in our softness we are stabbed all the way through
02:08the chest.
02:09That's love. It's a metal rod through the heart piercing you.
02:17Every day you hope that that rod isn't ripped out, but like any risk it's the thrill that makes it
02:28all worthwhile.
02:30To love fully one must offer themselves up. The most important decision is who you trust to hold the other
02:37end of that metal rod.
02:40And now the couple has decided to write their own vows. Rachel, we'll start with you first.
02:53Nikki, falling for you was so easy and it happened so fast.
02:57Our first date was in a rental car and lasted four days.
03:06Four days.
03:09And I remember thinking, I never want to get out of this car and four days is now forever.
03:29I spent my life trying to arm myself against bad luck, always in pursuit of certainty, but as we know
03:46this week has put us through the fucking ringer.
03:48Sorry. Put us through the ringer and through it all I realized that you can't rely on certainty because there
04:04is no certainty in marriage, in love, in anything.
04:09The only certainty in life is death.
04:17The only certainty in life is death.
04:46So fuck certainty.
05:02I have nothing to worry about.
05:05Because you.
05:07You are my good luck charm.
05:09You have always, always, always been my good luck charm.
05:15It's true.
05:17So.
05:20I vow, Nikki.
05:23To see you truly as you have done for me.
05:27And I promise to.
05:31Believe in you.
05:33And believe in us.
05:38Because that, it, that's really what this, this is, it's, it's a leap of faith that we don't know what's
05:46going to happen, but we believe it's going to work out.
05:52And I, I believe you are my soulmate.
06:05So wherever we're going, wherever we're going, I never want to get out of this rental car.
06:16Okay, I'm done.
06:18Sorry.
06:19Okay, Nikki, your turn.
06:20Yeah.
06:21Okay.
06:23I wrote mine down.
06:28Rachel.
06:31Um, I wish I went first.
06:33That's tough.
06:33That is tough to follow.
06:35Um, okay.
06:37Rachel.
06:37As you could see from the second you got here, I grew up in a household where marriage was highly
06:45regarded.
06:46So, of course, when you told me two weeks into our relationship that you'd never get married, I thought, she's
06:55the one.
06:57But really, I never had to interrogate if you were the one, because I was just new.
07:05And after spending one hour with you, I thought to myself, I hope every hour is like this.
07:14And if I don't spend the rest of my life with her, it's because I fucked up really badly.
07:21I made a vow to myself not to fuck it up really badly so that I could stand at an
07:26altar one day making vows to you.
07:31So here we are.
07:35I promise to always give you my love, my time, my understanding.
07:44I promise to be a nonjudgmental partner in whatever adventures you seek.
07:51I promise to stand beside you always, even in times of disagreement.
07:58There is nothing in the world that matters more to me than you.
08:04And I won't let anything get between us.
08:10That was beautiful.
08:11That was beautiful, both of you.
08:15Okay, now for the big moment.
08:17The rings, please.
08:21There you go.
08:23That's for you.
08:25That's for you.
08:27Oh, I'm shaking.
08:30Okay.
08:32Rachel Alexander Harkin,
08:34do you take Nicholas Summer Cunningham
08:36to be your lawfully wedded husband,
08:38to have and to hold in sickness and in health
08:42till death do you part?
08:52I do.
09:06Nicholas Summer Cunningham,
09:08do you take Rachel Alexandra Harkin
09:11to be your lawfully wedded wife,
09:13to have and to hold in sickness and in health
09:16until death do you part?
09:35A simple I do is all I need to say.
09:37I, uh...
09:38I wrote these vows a week ago
09:48and they don't quite feel...
09:55because you, you're, you're right.
09:58This week, it put us through the ringer
10:01and everything I thought I knew
10:04about, about love and marriage.
10:08It's changed.
10:08It's all changed.
10:10I, I, I understand you now better than I ever have before.
10:14I, I see now what you were saying.
10:18What are you doing?
10:19Marriage destroys people
10:21and it was already starting to get to us.
10:25And you know what?
10:26I, um...
10:28I don't want our relationship to change.
10:31You make me stick to the school.
10:32I mean, it's terrible.
10:32Marriage has been a...
10:34Poison, it's a...
10:34Marriage is a...
10:35Stop it.
10:36Okay, I got it.
10:37It's been a poison in my family
10:39and I just...
10:41I pushed you here
10:43when you didn't want.
10:44What are you doing?
10:45Rachel, all I want is to spend
10:47the rest of my life with you.
10:50But I don't want us to be like them.
10:53I want us to have the privilege
10:55of genuinely choosing each other
10:57every day like we, we always have.
11:02The rental car is taking a hard left
11:04far away from here.
11:06She's on the car.
11:07Mickey, look at me.
11:08Look at me.
11:10Marry, marry me.
11:11Marry me.
11:12You have to marry me.
11:13Right now.
11:15I'm freeing us from the institution.
11:17Are you fucking serious?
11:18Rachel, are you fucking serious?
11:20Is this what you want?
11:22I'm serious.
11:23I'm serious.
11:24Oh my God, he's serious.
11:24Why don't we just give a couple
11:25some time to sort things out?
11:27Rachel.
11:27No.
11:28Everybody just stay put.
11:30Rachel.
11:37Let's just get the keys
11:38and get in the car and drive.
11:39Fuck all this.
11:40You're not serious.
11:41I'm so sorry I pushed this here.
11:43I'm facing it.
11:43Hey, this week has been kind of a nightmare.
11:45Oh my God.
11:45And what if it was a vision of our future
11:47and I'm not going to let that happen to us?
11:48Oh my God, of course this week was a nightmare.
11:49Nikki, it's the week of our wedding.
11:50What do you think the week of a wedding is?
11:53You were supposed to take the leap of faith with me.
11:55I did.
11:56I did.
11:56That'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?
12:08You 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.
12:16But, Rachel, I know you never wanted to get married.
12:19And now I see it and I finally understand why.
12:22You have to marry me.
12:24Rachel.
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.
12:29And neither 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?
12:35It is not your fault.
12:35You didn't know.
12:36I didn't know.
12:37But now we know.
12:38And now we have to get married.
12:41That's not a reason to get married.
12:43It should be because we love each other and we believe in that.
12:46I know.
12:47I know that that's not the fucking situation that we're in now.
12:57Oh, my God.
12:58Why are you doing this now?
13:02What the fuck, Nicky?
13:04Why are you doing this now?
13:15Yeah.
13:16More.
13:17More.
13:18More.
13:19Yeah, that.
13:19Yeah, thank you.
13:20That's how much everyone should be getting.
13:21Everyone.
13:22Even the minors.
13:22That one's for you.
13:23He was in crisis, Victoria.
13:25He was looking to me for guidance.
13:26And I had to be honest.
13:32How was I supposed to know he was going to react like this?
13:34Because he idolizes us.
13:36He thinks we have the perfect marriage.
13:39We do.
13:43He ruined my relationship with my son.
13:47I will never have the chance to regain his trust.
13:50No, no.
13:51He loves you.
13:52He took away my ending.
13:54Wait, come back.
13:55Victoria.
13:58Honey, what happened up there?
14:00Are you okay with this?
14:02Is Nicky okay?
14:03What do we do?
14:05This is just a little silly disagreement.
14:08They will be fine.
14:08Could someone do the rounds?
14:10I don't want anyone thirsty.
14:11Cheers.
14:12Cheers.
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.
14:30All 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, Nicky,
14:41that your parents don't have the marriage you vitalized your whole life.
14:44Your mother is lovely, yes, but she's also a narcissist.
14:46And your father is a broken romantic who's looking for something to stuff the rest of himself into.
14:51So 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.
15:02Thanks, 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, just to be clear in that scenario, I'm the romantic and you're the narcissist.
15:16Oh, that's nice.
15:19Yeah, no, that does make sense, actually, because our whole relationship revolves around you.
15:25Okay.
15:26It's always me reassuring you that everything's okay, even when there's literally nothing going on.
15:33Because you think something's always out to get you.
15:36So I'm always tiptoeing around your sensitivities because you can't handle anything.
15:42I get it.
15:43Not even one day with my family without me there constantly reassuring you.
15:48Every little thing is just an exhausting puzzle with you.
15:52Nothing is easy.
15:54You're a really hard person to love.
15:56I know.
15:59Okay?
16:00I know.
16:05Is that what you want to hear?
16:10Fuck.
16:25It was me.
16:32It was me.
16:33It was me?
16:34Why should we leave?
16:35Yeah, of course I said.
16:36This is the most interesting thing.
16:44why'd you say yes then
16:47when i proposed why'd you say yes because because i knew how much it meant to you and i and
16:53i i
16:54loved you and
16:59you're like the only person who could have gotten me here you loved me
17:08do you not love me anymore
17:12no go away i want to know her answer
17:14porsche what the fuck mom wants you two back in there kissing and smiling like you didn't just
17:19slap her in the face in front of her whole bloodline and everyone in this world she loves
17:22and respects okay goodbye goodbye goodbye
17:31yes nikki of course i love you still okay and one of the things that i love the most about
17:38you is
17:38that you are a rock you are consistent you are stable and you don't do things like dump me at
17:43the altar i wasn't breaking up with you i was saving us oh good yeah do you think it worked
17:52if you really wanted to save us you would have said i do up there because i had everything under
17:58control
17:58okay i had to go through a lot to get up there and say yes with confidence and if you
18:07don't
18:08marry me by sundown the curse spreads to you and your family so you know actually i was saving you
18:17oh my god rachel what what do you mean what why are you acting shocked
18:46i don't want to say it but you owe me 50 dollars each oh my gosh you guys made a
18:51bet yeah after the rehearsal dinner it seemed like a safe bet
18:55Come on, pass it over.
18:56Technically, the bet was about her calling it like that.
18:57They might still work it out.
18:59You too.
18:59You too?
19:00What?
19:01I like money.
19:02You lost the bet.
19:06So, it's actually encrusted with rhinestones, not diamonds, but the back is custom.
19:10Please don't touch.
19:11It's fragile.
19:19What the fuck was he thinking?
19:21I don't know.
19:23And she didn't drink that.
19:24I don't know.
19:36What I'm saying is that from my perspective, you've been extra on edge since we got here.
19:43And then you told me something bad was going to happen.
19:47And then you started talking about curses.
19:50So, can't you see why it made sense to me that you'd be into the idea of us not getting
19:56married?
19:58Like, all of that stuff coming up before our wedding, it had to be caused in part by, like, the
20:04pressure or something.
20:06Sorry, Nikki, stop.
20:07What?
20:09Do you not believe in the curse?
20:11Marriage is the curse.
20:13I'm absolving us from that.
20:14Oh, my God.
20:15No, Nikki.
20:17The curse is the curse.
20:18The absolution was us getting married.
20:21Do you think that I, like, made this up?
20:23What?
20:23I don't think I made it up.
20:24I just...
20:25What?
20:27Tell me what it is.
20:27What?
20:29What?
20:29What is it?
20:30Like, a fear of commitment or stress?
20:33No, I...
20:34I just...
20:35What?
20:35I think both of us have been cursed in our own ways by, like, the systems that raised us.
20:44Oh, my God.
20:45And by not getting married, we are fixing that.
20:47What?
20:48So, when I say that I will die if you and I are not soulmates, you don't believe me?
20:54I don't think...
20:56Rachel.
20:56What?
20:58You don't think what?
21:04Yeah, I don't think that would happen.
21:09You literally just told me you believed me.
21:11You literally just told me you believed me right before I walked down the aisle.
21:14This is crazy.
21:15This is crazy.
21:16This is crazy.
21:16This is fucking crazy.
21:16Hold on.
21:17Hold on.
21:18I can't fucking believe it.
21:19No, no, no, no.
21:20I didn't mean for it to get like this.
21:22I'm sorry.
21:22You know, you're...
21:22I put my confidence in us because I thought that you saw me.
21:26Can we...
21:27I thought that we saw each other.
21:28Can we go back to like...
21:29Can we just go back to like four hours ago, please?
21:51He's...
21:52Bright side or grooms?
21:55Groom.
21:56I knew it.
21:57Are you married?
21:58Uh, yeah.
21:59To each other?
22:01Yeah.
22:02Do you believe she's your soulmate?
22:05Uh, yeah, for sure.
22:08For sure.
22:10Sorry, um, we're just gonna go back to our table.
22:13What happens at a wedding reception where there's no bride or groom?
22:16What is that? Let me set up for one of your bad jokes?
22:18No, honey, it's a genuine question.
22:20Please, please.
22:21No!
22:26I don't know what you want me to do!
22:28You don't let me think independently of you!
22:30You don't accept it when I don't share your exact perspective!
22:34I can't change what I believe in!
22:36But you can't believe me!
22:38Okay.
22:39You can't believe me!
22:40That's different, Rachel!
22:41That's different, okay?
22:42How?
22:42I don't believe in, like, supernatural shit or, like, cosmic retribution or curses.
23:00Okay.
23:01This isn't, like, new information.
23:02What you do, what you do, Nikki, when you love someone is you believe the person that you love.
23:08That's what trust is.
23:10So when you told me that you believed me, I believed you.
23:14Instead of looking at a catalogue of all the things you've said in the past because I am fucking seeing
23:18you in the moment, in every moment, I am looking at you and you just...
23:22You don't fucking do that for me!
23:25You don't!
23:26You just...
23:27You chose a version of me a long time ago and that's all I am and...
23:34And...
23:34Then you get...
23:35You get frustrated when I'm not hip because then you don't know who to be and you know what?
23:40It's bad, Nikki.
23:41It's a bad fucking quality because you have made it impossible!
23:45Impossible!
23:47For me to exist!
23:54Two ticattas, please.
23:58I like your jacket.
24:00Yeah, thanks.
24:02Can I have it?
24:09Three forty-five.
24:10Three forty-five.
24:10I'm getting them.
24:13Okay, just five.
24:15You moving up?
24:22Hey!

24:29Shit.
24:32Fuck.
