[music playing]
Whoa.
Hello.
How are you doing?
All right.
Thank you.
Nice to meet you.
Hi, I'm Katina.
Olajuwon.
KATINA: What is it?
Olajuwon.
- Olajuwon? - Yeah.
- OK. - Katina?
- Yeah. - I won't forget it.
Nice to meet you.
MINISTER: You may be seating.
Hi, everyone.
[laughs]
Oh, man.
This is-- it's kind of awkward.
But--
It is.
It's nerve-wracking.
I love your tattoos.
Thank you.
You have tattoos?
I'm full of tattoos--
Oh.
--from the side of my hip, everything.
I can't stop looking at you. You are beautiful.
Oh, thank you.
Seriously.
Thank you.
I'm so happy that they picked you.
[laughter]
Oh.
Now, I believe you guys both wrote your personal vows?
OK.
You--
OK.
So first, I would like to say that you
are my answered prayer.
We both have chosen to do something so crazy.
Having you stand across from me at this moment, all I feel
is comfort because it tells me that you're
a man who is willing to take a chance on love.
I want you to know this commitment is something
that I don't take lightly.
I promise I will always listen, have patience
and understanding with you.
I promise to always honor and respect you.
But most importantly, I promise to trust
you and always put you first.
I vow to you you are marrying a woman who will try and be
the best wife that she can be.
And I'm looking forward to starting this journey with you.
Mm.
Love it.
It's beautiful.
I want to hold your hands. - OK.
And the paper's gonna be in my way.
And I'm just gonna try to go off my heart, so.
OK.
I don't know where you've been my whole life.
But I'm filled with joy that you're standing
here in front of me today.
I promise to be honest and truthful.
And I promise to protect you.
I promise to keep the spark in our relationship
by doing the little things that make you happy.
And if I had to go back 10 years of dating with trial
and failure to become the best version of myself,
I would do it again for you.
I can't wait to get old with you and make
a lifetime of memories.
God brought us to it.
He'll get us through it.
And like my family says--
ALL: Amen.
KATINA: [laughs]
MINISTER: It is ring time.
These rings represent the ties that bind you
together as husband and wife.
They are an endless circle representing
your marriage union, which shall be eternal and pure
as these rings.
Ooh, finger swelled up.
[laughs]
Ah. - OK, yeah.
We good.
It looks good.
I can't take it off now.
[laughs]
[exhales loudly] Will you marry me?
I just did.
I know.
MINISTER: Almost.
[inaudible] I had to make it real, you know.
Something I always dreamed of.
MINISTER: OK.
And now by the authority vested in me,
I pronounce you are a married couple.
(WHISPERING) May I kiss you?
MINISTER: You may now call yourselves those cherished
words, husband--
My wife.
MINISTER: --and wife.
Yeah, you can.
Just had to make sure.
OK.
(SINGING) This is the best day ever in my life.
It feels [inaudible] Let's take a picture.
MINISTER: It is my pleasure to introduce
for the very first time as husband
and wife Olajuwon and Katina.
We did it.
