[music playing]
(SINGING) Look at me now.
Look at me now.
Hey, hey.
Look at me now.
Yeah.
Look at me now.
Hey, hey.
Sorry, I'm a little nervous.
I like the bouquet.
Thank you.
Nice to meet you.
Same here.
[laughs]
You may be seated.
That is a beautiful dress.
Did you see my shoes?
No.
[laughs] Those are awesome.
I love those.
Thank you.
I'm learning more and more about you.
[laughs]
At this time, I know that Alyssa and Chris--
you both have written personal vows for each other.
Chris?
These vows are written to you, Alyssa,
a woman who shares my willingness to take big risks
because we both know that big risks often
lead to life-changing rewards.
Starting with these words, I vow to communicate
my thoughts, my feelings, my desires,
and my vulnerabilities.
I vow to bring adventure, excitement, and, ultimately,
joy to our lives.
I vow to not just hear, but to listen to you--
to your words, to your actions, to your feelings.
You chose to trust me, and I vow to earn that trust every day
by being there, not just as your husband, but as your partner
and best friend in every way.
Lastly and most importantly, starting today,
I vow to build love with you.
We're truly starting in a way that no one could
have expected, and it brings me immense joy
to be starting with you.
[laughter]
There's not many places to put them, so--
I-- do you.
OK, to my husband, thank you for signing up
for this crazy adventure with me.
Although this is unconventional, something
told me to trust my gut and take this leap of faith.
Speaking of leaps, you should probably
know that I love animals so much, if not more than people,
and I would jump out of a moving car to save a dog.
I'm grateful to be on this adventure with you,
and I vow to always be honest and direct with you.
You will quickly learn that I wear my heart on my sleeve.
And I vow to treat you with kindness and respect.
I vow to greet each day, especially
today, as a new adventure.
CELEBRANT: Chris, I'm going to ask you to slowly place
Alyssa's ring on her ring finger while repeating
the words after me.
With this ring, I wed you, Alyssa.
I wed you, Chris.
For today, for tomorrow.
For today and tomorrow.
For all years to come.
Please wear it as a sign of my commitment.
And a notice to the entire world.
That I am your wife.
That I am your husband.
CELEBRANT: And now, by the authority vested in me,
I pronounce you married.
Chris, may you kiss Alyssa.
[laughter]
Is that OK?
Yeah.
[laughs]
AUDIENCE: Aww.
[clapping]
[music playing]
(SINGING) I will shout it out for the world to see, see.
[clapping]
Ladies and gentlemen, it is my pleasure
to introduce to you, as husband and wife, Chris and Alyssa.
[clapping]
[music playing]
(SINGING) [inaudible].
Come together.
[inaudible]
[inaudible] get to come together.
I heard you calling out, all come together now.
