Transcript excerpt from a wedding video (uploaded by Alexander Ma) capturing multiple speakers: a father’s heartfelt toast recalling his daughter Brittany’s childhood and welcoming Scott; short lyrical/poetic interludes; the couple’s vows referencing many days together and promises under olive trees; and the officiant’s pronouncement that they are husband and wife.
When Brittney was little and I would come home from work, didn't matter how bad my day was, as soon as I walked in that door, Brittany would come running up to me with her open arms and a smile that would light up Chicago at night. And now I get to share that smile with Scott, who is a man that is truly deserving of my daughter's smile. And I must admit, the second time I met Scott, I knew in my heart that he was the one. When Scott called me up and asked me for Brittany's hand in marriage, I welcomed him with open arms. And I just looked at him. I said, what the hell took you so long? So please join me in toasting Mr. And Mrs. Scott Stein.
Just hold tight to my hand there's no need for any big plans we'll just go till the road ends those look amazing. Look at under your toes.
He's gonna be so wow. Oh, my God. He can imagine him. He got me Tom Ford, and I got him Tom Ford. Aw, you're meant to.
I know that we'll see it through yeah I believe that me and you, we're doing what we're meant to.
Of all of the things we experience in our lives, perhaps nothing is as important and meaningful as declaring your love to another. And I like to think of marriage as a great nodding together of one another's stories of what we are and what we dream to be. Love is our greatest truth and our most profound unifier.
Oh, no one's gonna love you like I do no one's gonna love you like I do oh, no one's gonna love you like I do no one's gonn I do I do.
1000, 430 days have led us to this moment under these olive trees. But of those days, this is the day I've loved you the most. From the moment I first saw you, I knew you were the one. Your strength, your beauty, your heart inspires me to be the best version of myself. You are my balance. You are my companion. You are my rock. I look forward to an entire life of fulfilling my promises and sharing our love together. I promise I will always be your rock. And together we can persevere through all things. I love you.
No one's gonna love you like I do oh, no one's gonna love you like I do no one's gonn.
And may the happiness of this day be forever present in your lives. I now pronounce you husband and wife. Scott, kiss your bride.
