times in life our duties keep us away from each other most of the day but it's nice to find a husband and wife who still find time enough to help each other with a choice can I get you a cup of tea or something baby no no Sapphire I just dropped in to say hello and I'm glad to see you both together well I guess I'll be going now uh plan your job by uh Reverend Johnson goodbye goodbye Reverend seeing you standing there facing me now side by side bringing back memories of years ago years ago when I officiated at your wedding for Sapphire uh oh I got that right here uh I'm gonna have it clean you know a little Dusty after 20 years you know I remember your wedding ceremony especially because you two were so very happy I don't think I ever saw the little chapel so beautifully decorated everything was so perfect the flowers a little quiet I can almost hear them now why It Seems Like Only Yesterday When I said we are gathered together to unite this man and woman in marriage is an institution all on me part of the very laws of our being and instituted for the happiness and Welfare of mankind yes and that's been many years ago then I then I remember saying that marriage was not made for happiness alone but for the discipline and development of character or Mutual understanding and unselfish devotion sometimes we forget that I guess it was a beautiful ceremony I remember the expression on your face George when I said do you take This Woman's Sapphire to be your lawful wedded wife to honor her comfort her and keep her in sickness and in health for better for worse from this day forth as long as you both shall live I do and you Sapphire do you take this man Joys to be your lawful wedded husband to cover him honor him and keep him in sickness and in health are better for worse from this day forth so long as ye both shall live I do Ben George you said with this ring highly with then I think we came to the most beautiful part of all my virtue of authority vested in Me by the state [Music] in the name of our father in Heaven I pronounce you husband and wife whom love has joined together let no man put asunder [Music] foreign I hope to see you both at Church Sunday yes Reverend Johnson we'll be there yes we'll be there together oh absolutely Jonathan well well Amos how are you and how are Ruby and the children oh fine just fine thank you that's fine by the way I was in your neighborhood today I dropped by to see saffron George oh and how you see oh they're just fine they seem quite happy I'm sure girl that's nice and Amos I want to thank you for suggestions I stop in on Sapphire and George it's nice of you to let me know they'd be home at three o'clock [Music] [Applause] [Music]
