This here is th' weddin' vows fer all who wish t' marry folks on th' high seas:
We be gathered here in th' presence o' th' FSM 'n these witnesses fer th' purpose o' unitin' in marriage: (names o' bride 'n groom). I remind ye both t' always remember that love, loyalty 'n understandin' are th' foundations o' a happy 'n endurin' ship. No other human ties be more tender 'n no other vows more important than those ye now assume. If ye both keep these vows, yer ship will always be filled wit' happiness.
Join hands now. Th' contract o' marriage be most solemn 'n ain't t' be boarded into lightly, but thoughtfully 'n seriously, 'n wit' a deep realization o' all its obligations 'n responsibilities.
(Name o' Groom), do ye loot this wench, (name o' Bride), t' be yer lawfully-wedded beauty? Do ye promise t' love 'n t' comfort her, t' honor her 'n t' keep her in sickness 'n in health, in prosperity 'n in adversity, 'n forsakin' all others, always be faithful t' her?
(Name o' Bride), do ye loot this scallywag, (name o' Groom), t' be yer lawfully-wedded ol' mate? Do ye promise t' love 'n t' comfort 'im, t' honor 'im 'n t' keep 'im in sickness 'n in health, in prosperity 'n adversity, 'n forsakin' all others, always be faithful t' 'im?
I, (name o' Groom) loot thee (name o' Bride), t' be me lawfully-wedded beauty, t' 'ave 'n t' hold from this day fore, fer better or fer worse, fer richer or fer poorer, in sickness 'n in health, t' love 'n t' cherish.

(T' Th' Groom) Place 'n hold th' rin' on th' rin' finger o' th' bride's left hand 'n repeat aft me; This rin' I thee give, in token 'n in pledge o' me constant faith 'n endurin' love. Wit' this rin' I thee wed.

Now that ye 'ave joined yourselves in solemn matrimony, may ye strive all o' th' rest o' yer lives t' meet this commitment wit' th' same love 'n devotion that ye both now possess. Wit' th' blessin' o' th' FSM 'n by virtue o' th' authority vested in me, I now pronounce that ye be ol' mate 'n beauty (married name). Ye may kiss th' bride now. Beauties 'n mateys, 'tis wit' pleasure that I present t' ye Cap'n 'n Wench (married name).
When one person has an imaginary friend, he is called crazy. When multiple people have the same imaginary friend, it's called religion.
