[SCENE: kiti cha enzi Room]

CLARABELLE: We are gathered here today to take part in an celebration uniting a man and a woman in marriage. Mickey and Princess Minnie have come to witness before us, telling of their upendo for each other.

wewe have known each other from the first glance as acquaintance's to this point of lifetime commitment. From the moment wewe decided to marry, wewe have been making promises and agreements in an informal way.

All those conversations were held riding in the car, over a meal, au during long walks -- all those sentences that began with "When we're married" and continued with "I will and wewe will and we will" -- those late night talks and e-mails that included "someday" and "somehow" and "maybe" -- and all those promises that are unspoken matters of the heart.

All those little things, and more, are the real process of a wedding. Look to one another and remember that the symbolic vows wewe are about to make are a way of saying to each other, "you know all those things we've promised and hoped and dreamed -- well, I meant it all, every word."

The little things are the big things. It is never being too old to hold hands, It is remembering to say "I upendo you" at least once a day. It is never going to kitanda angry. It is never taking the other for granted; the courtship should not end with the honeymoon, it should continue through all years. It is having a mutual sense of values and common objectives.

It is standing together facing the world. It is forming a mduara, duara of upendo that gathers in the whole family. It is doing things for each other, not in the attitude of duty au sacrifice, but in the spirit of joy. It is speaking words of appreciation and demonstrating gratitude in thoughtful ways. It is not expecting the husband to wear a halo au the wife to have wings of an angel.

It is not looking for perfection in each other. It is cultivating flexibility, patience, understanding and a sense of humor. It is having the capacity to forgive and forget. It is giving each other an atmosphere in which each can grow. It is a common tafuta for the good and the beautiful. It is establishing a relationship in which the independence is equal, dependence is mutual and the obligation is reciprocal. It is not marrying the right partner; it is being the right partner.

We remind Mickey and Princess Minnie that they are performing an act of complete faith in each other and that the moyo of their marriage will be the relationship they create.

Mickey, do wewe receive Princess Minnie as your wife? Do wewe pledge to her your love, faith and tenderness, cherishing her with a husband's loyalty and devotion?

MICKEY: "I do."

CLARABELLE: Princess Minnie, do wewe receive Mickey as your husband? Do wewe pledge to him your love, faith and tenderness, cherishing him with a wife's loyalty and devotion?

PRINCESS MINNIE: "I do."

CLARABELLE: The wedding ring is a symbol of unity, a mduara, duara unbroken, without beginning au end. And today Mickey and Princess Minnie give and receive these rings as outward symbols of their vows to make their lives one, to work at all times to create a life that is whole and unbroken, and to upendo each other without end.

Mickey, take this ring and place it on Princess Minnie's finger and say to her these words:

"I begin my life with wewe today knowing that we have developed a trust and commitment that is strong enough to last through good times and bad. With this ring, I offer wewe my hand, my heart, and my soul as I know they will be salama with you."

MICKEY: I begin my life with wewe today knowing that we have developed a trust and commitment that is strong enough to last through good times and bad. With this ring, I offer wewe my hand, my heart, and my soul as I know they will be salama with you.

CLARABELLE: Princess Minnie, take this ring and place it on Mickey's finger and say to him these words:

"I begin my life with wewe today knowing that we have developed a trust and commitment that is strong enough to last through good times and bad. With this ring, I offer wewe my hand, my heart, and my soul as I know they will be salama with you."

PRINCESS MINNIE: I begin my life with wewe today knowing that we have developed a trust and commitment that is strong enough to last through good times and bad. With this ring, I offer wewe my hand, my heart, and my soul as I know they will be salama with you.

CLARABELLE: Today is a siku wewe will always remember. wewe started off the siku just two people in upendo and are ending it as husband and wife. It's a brand new beginning, the start of a journey, with moments to cherish and treasure. And although there'll be times wewe both disagree, these will surely be outweighed kwa pleasure.

So live happy forever as lovers and friends, it's the dawn of a new life for you, as wewe stand there together with upendo in your eyes remember the advice that has been aliyopewa to wewe kwa family and friends. kwa standing together side kwa side, all your hopes and your dreams can be real. wewe future will bring wewe the greatest of joys, but remember today is the siku it all starts.

Before the pronouncing however, I assume a bit of coronation is in order.

(Clarabelle raises up the crown)

CLARABELLE: I hereby crown wewe Mickey, prince of France.

(Clarabelle places the crown on Mickey's head; the audience applauds; Donald hands the scepter to Mickey; Goofy puts the royal mantle on Mickey)

CLARABELLE: Prince Mickey and Princess Minnie, as a collection of words, this ceremony would count for little. It was the upendo and commitment wewe have pledged to one another that gave it meaning. Your vows may have been spoken in minutes, but your promises to each other will last a lifetime. Having witnessed your vows for marriage with all who are assembled here, and kwa the authority vested in me, I announce with great joy that wewe are husband and wife.
