Hello, this is your brother again.
This is my brother, this is Fred.
Is this Fred the best man? Hello, Fred.
How are you? It's Marvin, that's Lennox Blass.
Hello, Marvin.
How are you? Mike and Dave.
Hello, Mike.
Glad to meet you.
Everybody up in front! This one is father, right here.
Here? Happy to meet you, father.
Happy to meet you.
And this is little Cassie.
Father Dooby Cass.
Say hello to father.
Hi.
Hi.
Who else? I mean, would you like to introduce? Why don't we all sit down? Are you okay? Please? Sit over here.
Who's this young man? This is Doug.
Hi, Doug.
He's a reindeer.
You and Linda stand out here.
Everybody sit on this side, okay? Father Dooby said hello to you, everyone.
Hello, father.
Goodbye.
Okay, what we're going to do is we're going to rehearse walking in and walking out.
Huh? Now how do you want the procession around? Do you want the men and women to walk in together? So you want the fellas to come up here and the women from the rear, okay? Okay, everybody.
It's going to be a really big practice.
Fred, when we're ready to begin, you check with Linda tomorrow.
When all the necessary people are here, and try to have everybody sit up in front, you'll be sitting in the first place over here, okay? And your folks will be sitting.
Where are your folks? They're not here.
Oh, they're not.
Okay.
They'll be sitting here.
Right here.
Okay? Now as everybody walks in, when everybody is up in front and everybody is ready to go, you'll check with Linda, and then you come back into that sacristy and let me know that we're ready to begin, okay, Fred? Grandpa, then.
What's the matter? Geez, don't start on me.
Oh, about the dress.
Yeah.
The woman told me about it again.
Should I get grandpa? Where's grandpa? He's not going to be by you here.
We have a problem.
A light problem, Ma.
We can't get Kathy moving here.
I guess.
Okay.
Wait a minute.
I'll try to get her.
Ho, ho, ho.
Hey, gorgeous.
Look at that gorgeous girl.
She's starting to smile.
I can tell she's starting to smile.
She's putting her head down lower and lower.
She's smiling more and more.
Hey, Cassie.
Come on.
Cassie.
Cassie.
Cassie, put your head up.
Cassie.
Don't frighten her.
No.
Come on, baby.
Oh, you're gorgeous.
Hold your hand this way.
You're a camera.
Listen, Dougie, can you do this? Here you go, baby.
Hey.
Mr.
Barnes, cry out.
Listen.
Let me listen to the camera.
Cassie.
How are you, gorgeous? You gorgeous little thing, you.
How old are you, huh? Can you talk? Can you talk? Huh? Listen, you know, Cass, if you don't put your head up, you won't see where you're going.
You're going to fall down.
Now, wouldn't that look funny, you falling down like that? Yeah.
Nice dress and you got the flower, and then you fall down because you wouldn't look.
Can you imagine that? Can you imagine how funny that would be? Huh? Can you imagine how funny that would be? Can you imagine that? Look at me, okay? Please, Dougie.
Come on.
Please look at me.
Cass.
Well, how can you do this if you don't want to do it, huh? You don't have anything to be afraid of.
Because we all love you very much.
You're just a beautiful girl.
Everybody votes Cassie.
And if she doesn't want to do it, that's her choice.
Okay, then we'll vote her.
Okay.
She'll come by herself, because she's the short one.
So we're going to...
Pardon me? Sure, she's a good girl.
All the way up there with Linda standing.
We'll go all the way up there.
And tomorrow I'm going to be dressed in a big white robe.
And I want you to walk straight ahead.
Straight line.
There's going to be a big, long white sheet lying on the floor.
I want you to walk right down that sheet, okay? Got it? What are you going to do? Where are you going to walk? Huh? You're going to walk straight ahead.
On a sheet.
Where are you going to walk toward? Point.
Who's going to be down here? I'm going to be down here.
Right? You're going to walk right at me, okay? Okay.
Now you're going to walk right before Linda, okay? Okay.
Linda? Linda? As soon as Carol gets halfway down, the third channeler, then just have Doug walk, okay? Fine.
So, and you'll be walking on your father's...
No, the other side.
Yes, sir.
Okay.
So let's get in line.
Lois, begin.
I hope so.
Maybe she'll figure she's missing out on something when she sees little Doug go.
Wait, wait now, Doug.
I'll let you know when to go.
Kind of lopsided.
I'm crooked.
Okay.
Here he comes.
Here he comes, Mr.
Here he comes.
We're going to turn him over.
Thanks, one of those.
Thank you for your paper.
No, this way.
This is the way to go.
Kiss Linda.
Move up the...
Isn't that too early? Move up the...
Oh, I forgot.
Join their hands.
Then go back and join in front.
And you bring them right up here, okay? Now, Doug, who are you going to sit with during this? I'd like you to sit down for a while, okay? Because it's going to be long and you might get tired, you know.
So, should he go back with, you know, your parents? Mine or his will be up in the front.
Oh, will they? Yeah.
Okay, Doug, as soon as Linda and Bob get up here, then I want you to go back and see your mom and dad, okay? Sit with them.
When they get in front, then you face forward, everybody, okay? Now, do you want to practice that again? Yeah.
Okay, go back and practice it again.
That's the hardest thing, and we're going to practice going out.
And all the rest I'll take care of tomorrow.
Thank you.
And if you want anything else blessed, you know, the ring for his nose or anything, put it on the dish, okay? Okay.
Now...
Do I give him both rings, the engagement ring and the wedding ring? Give him anything.
How am I supposed to do this if I'm holding his dish? All right, I'll give you that.
I do it, I do it.
And then I say, Bob, would you please take Linda's ring, and then you pick up Linda's ring, and then you will put it halfway on, and then you will read the words.
And then when you are through with that, you know, you go put it all the way on, then you take Bob's ring, and I'll take the dish, and then you put it on his ring finger here, okay? All right.
And then you will say the words.
And then after that, I will introduce you, and then I will have you kiss each other, okay? Okay.
Very good.
You don't have to practice kissing, do you? No.
Oh, okay.
Walk out, arm and arm.
Okay, then you walk out.
And as they walk out, then, Doug, you walk out right behind them, okay? Whoa! Did you enjoy your shoot, Doug? You want to do that.
Marla and her, you just go right out.
How fast are we supposed to go on? How fast are we supposed to go on? Faster.
I want to hurry to get out.
He's going backwards.
I guess it's good enough.
You did it real good.
Well, what do we do now? Let's go back inside.
I want to see it.
Myself, I don't think so.
I bet he won't go up to the street.
Hey, watch when he points that thing right at you.
Tuck! I need to fiddle.
I think you're putting the bag on over here.
Do you want to add a little bit of help? No.
Now, see if we can help you.
Does anyone have a tendency to faint? I do.
Does anyone? Mike? Mike, if you feel faint, then just step to the side over there, okay? Shall we go? Cas, good night.
I wish you were happier.
You know? Everybody loves you, and we really would like to have you tomorrow, but it's your choice, dear.
Why don't you go tonight and sleep about it, and maybe want to do it tomorrow, okay? Okay.
Good night.
Tell us a little about the wedding.
Well, I'm very excited about the wedding.
I hate losing my son, but I'm certainly glad he found a nice girl to take care of him.
I'm real happy.
Anything else you'd like to add? Not really.
I've been so nervous all week.
I feel like I'm the bride.
I can't wait until tomorrow.
Yes? Oh, yes.
I'm very excited.
I'm glad he's getting married.
And, uh, how about my cousin Leonard here? What do you have to say, Leonard? Well, I flew in from Madison for the occasion, so I'm here to celebrate.
How long are you staying? Till Sunday night.
Anything else today? That's about it.
First time in Chicago for a wedding, though.
Okay, that's it.
I feel like I'm on trial.
Aren't you nervous? Yes, I am.
I'm very nervous.
Are you going to...? I'm going to piss out.
Are you going to come tomorrow? No.
Where are you going? Where? Where will you be tomorrow? Yes, I am.
Where are you going? Where am I going? To church.
Which church? St.
Daniel.
Thank you.
I'm going to have to have a rest today.
Is this your first marriage? Yes.
And the last, too.
Don't want to go through this again? No, I don't.
Once is enough.
Well, he wants to take Cassie's place.
The new flower girl? The flower girl.
I like this shag cut.
He looks very happy.
He's got his headers open.
You can't cut out.
I don't think so.
Okay.
How are you doing? Good.
How are you? Okay.
Congratulations.
Congratulations.
How are you doing, Doc? Good.
Take some deep breaths.
We're going to start when I get halfway.
You ready? I need a handkerchief.
Okay.
I'm scared.
Don't be scared.
I can't open.
I know you don't do this every day.
You'll be okay.
Okay.
Congratulations.
I'm sorry.
Go ahead.
I'll be in front, Cassie.
We'll be right behind you.
Go ahead.
Go ahead.
Go down.
I'm sorry.
I just think she said last night, I ain't never faint.
It gets a little hot.
Again, welcome, everyone, to a very wonderful celebration and a very lovely time of the year where we have an opportunity to gather together, understanding that relationships are most important in life.
And so, as Bob and Linda gather with us, join us together, really, they enter into a new kind of relationship that they have never entered into before.
In just these simple words, and in just the short period of time, Bob and Linda have said the most profound words they have ever spoken to another person.
It is a great honor that I am very proud to present to you for the first time since the creation of the world, Mr.
and Mrs.
Robert Hallett.
Please, your people.
If a picture paints a thousand words, then why can't I paint you? The words will never show the you I've come to know.
If a face can launch a thousand ships, then where am I to go? There's no one home but you, and you're all that's left me, too.
And when my love for life is running dry, you come and put yourself on me.
Now, would you give her a kiss? Let me get out in front and call you out, okay? You better stay inside, and I'll come over with the car, okay? Stay inside.
I'll come ride with you.
Okay? Come on.
Let's go.
Yay! Yay! Oh, thank you.
That was a farce.
That was a farce.
Yeah.
That's a lot.
Any more? Any more? I have to get my hair.
Where's your rice off a little bit? Where's your rice? Oh, God.
Can I have rice, please? Rice off.
That was a farce.
Come on, now.
Okay, now.
Come on, now.
Relax a little bit.
Give her a smile.
Give her a smile.
Okay, now, if you're looking straight out, give her a smile.
Good.
Hold it.
Give her a big smile, please.
One more.
Okay, don't look so glum.
You're happy now.
Okay, another one.
Hold that pose.
Good.
Third one.
Now, looking straight toward me, holding that pose.
Put a big smile on her.
Good.
Now, look so fucking straight out here.
Okay.
Hold on, Sheldon.
I'm going to go with it.
Just like that.
Good.
Now, we have this.
Works.
Okay.
Bring your followers right down.
So we can see them.
Hold your followers.
Okay.
Okay, can everyone look in this way now? Big, red smile, please.
Hold it.
Okay.
Party message or a hug? Time to eat this party.
Congratulations.
Thanks a lot.
Have a nice trip.
Bye.
