The piece opens with the most common phrase in the wedding liturgy. The vow text is not taken from any one source, but fragments of the most common wedding vow language. I interspersed this with asides of my own, defining and/or describing the vows, comments from the wedding attendees, and the innermost thoughts of a bride and groom. The piece ends with a celebratory presentation of the marriage couple as the wedding concludes.
