[Captain Blackadder]

The ArchBishop arrives to do the ceremony of the marriage. He goes over to John and has a quick word with him.

Your surname, Konstantinos sounds greek. Are you a true Catholic or are you Orthodox?

[Gandalf.]

John muses
What difference does it make? I have been brought up with teachings of both.

[AussieGuy]

Eddard arrives at the wedding, eager to see the beauty his friend John would be marrying.

[Captain Blackadder]

If you are Orthodox you need to convert before I can marry you since your would not have been baptised in the Catholic tradition. If you are Catholic then it matters not and I can marry your right now.

[Gandalf.]

I have been baptised a catholic.

[Captain Blackadder]

Very well then let us begin.

Bishop Odo begins with a reading from Ecclesiastes

Melius ergo est duos simul esse quam unum habent enim emolumentum societatis suae si unus ceciderit ab altero fulcietur vae soli quia cum ruerit non habet sublevantem et si dormierint duo fovebuntur mutuo unus quomodo calefiet et si quispiam praevaluerit contra unum duo resistent ei funiculus triplex difficile rumpitur.

John repeat after me

Alienor we read in Genesis, "Therefore shall a man leave his father and mother and cleave unto his wife," and in Proverbs "Whoso findeth a wife findeth a good thing." He has ordained that the husband be the head of the wife. He instructs me, as the one who will be your husband, to love you as Christ loves the Church. It is my desire and delight to follow this scriptural teaching. With all my heart, I make this pledge to you.

Aleinor repeat after me

John the Lord instructs me as the one who will be your wife to submit to you as unto Him. Our Father created woman to be man's helper. It is my desire and delight to follow this scriptural teaching. With all my heart I make this pledge to you

[Gandalf.]

Alienor smiled

[Captain Blackadder]

You have declared your consent before the Church. May the Lord in his goodness strengthen your consent and fill you both with his blessings.
What God has joined, men must not divide.


Lord, bless these rings which we bless in your name.
Grant that those who wear them
may always have a deep faith in each other.
May they do your will
and always live together
in peace, good will, and love.
We ask this through Christ our Lord.


Both of you repeat after me


Alienor take this ring as a sign of my love and fidelity. In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.

John take this ring as a sign of my love and fidelity. In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.

[Gandalf.]

[Captain Blackadder]

I shall end with a reading of the Lords Prayer

PATER noster, qui es in caelis, sanctificetur nomen tuum. Adveniat regnum tuum. Fiat voluntas tua, sicut in caelo et in terra. Panem nostrum quotidianum da nobis hodie, et dimitte nobis debita nostra sicut et nos dimittimus debitoribus nostris. Et ne nos inducas in tentationem, sed libera nos a malo. Amen.

I now pronounce that you have entered into the sacred covenant of marriage. You may now kiss the bride.

[Gandalf.]
