While having a discussion with a friend I started to give her the only wedding that I would be willing to participate in and while listing out the requirements I realized it would make a good post.... so here goes.
- To start, my wedding outfit will consist of my face being painted in a blue and white stripes and i will also be wearing a quilt (reference: Braveheart).
- To enter i will kick open the chapel doors screaming "THIS IS SPARTA!" (reference: 300)
- Upon reaching the altar i would greet the pastor with: "Ave, Caesar, morituri te salutant"
(this is latin for "We who are about to die salute you". It was the greeting gladiators gave to Ceasar before that start of a bout) - When the ring is put on my finger i will cry; "FREEDOM!"
(reference Braveheart) - Once the ring is one my finger, my captor... er I mean wife, will the latch the ceremonial ball and chain to my ankle and swallow the the key and the ceremoniously say:
To retrieve this key this bond doth give thee here no jot of blood;
The words expressly are 'till death do us part':
Take then thy bond, take thou thy key to freedom;
But, in the cutting it, if thou dost shed
One drop of Christian blood, thy lands and goods
Are, by the laws of Venice, confiscate
(reference: Merchant of venice.)
If ANY woman shall be found willing to have such a wedding I Mark Paul Errol Hylton will assiduously and seriously, diligently and deliberately consider taking this woman for my wife.
