Here you go, darling.

But where are yours?

The magic of Christmas, the child's making wish, and it coming true.

Go ahead, Edith.

Well, sir, whatever it is, all right?

All right.

For a kite!

Thank you, thank you.

Well, don't thank us.

Thank you, Father.

There he is.

Gathered.

Born tall.

Taxi.

I seem to recall after giving you last year's payment, not all of it reached

Lord Rockford.

And I had men even more foul than you show at my door.

Not to blame if you can't add your coin properly.

Do you steal from every person you collect at your start?

Are you going to give me the payment, or do you need persuading?

I'm not giving you anything.

I shall deliver my payment to Lord Rockford himself.

I don't think our lord visits many men in the dungeon.

Erect him!

i'll get the money just don't hurt her i wouldn't dream of hurting her not when

i can get such a fair price for another child in the mine get them in the wagon

no no

We'll get the girl.

We'll make ten titans much from just one of these dragon eggs.

You, girl, give us the eggs.

No, I won't.

Motherfucker.

The village has cheered.

You'll be safe here.

I brought you some worms to eat while you left.

Stay off of that wing until you feel better.

Where did you learn to do that?

My mother taught me when I was about your age.

What's it?

Dragon.

No, come on, we need to go.

Come on, come on.

Wait, wait, wait, we're up.

We're here.

We're here.

Hurry! Hurry!

I would expect you to take the warning bells a little more seriously, Aiden.

Especially with what happened to your parents.

I'm sorry, Mrs. Lenora.

Now go find the twins and make sure they're shuttering the windows properly

instead of hanging out of them.

And bring them down for supper.

Can you see anything? No, I can't. Where is it? I don't know.

Scoot over.

No, you.

I can't see.

Will you two knock it off and close that thing before you get us all cooked?

You're not the boss of us.

Yeah.

Don't be silly, Aiden.

You're safe here.

Parking yourself again?

No.

I will.

Shouldn't be so jumpy.

Very unbecoming. Rosalind!

You were saying?

Don't pick on Aiden.

This Lenore should stop us already.

Freddie.

What is it, Aiden?

Oh, just your stocking hanging on the fireplace.

It reminded me of Father Christmas.

Who? Who's Father Christmas?

No one but a fairy tale. That's not true.

He's real, and he's wonderful.

Aiden's right.

Well, at least partially.

Many years ago, even before Stella Nora was born, there was a man named

Nicholas. He lived in a village not far from here.

When his neighbors needed money for their daughter's wedding, he gifted it

them by dropping it down their chimney so no one would know it was him.

I remember this story.

After seeing how happy his neighbors were, he decided that was the way he

to live his life, bringing joy to the lives of other people.

He spent his nights making secret deliveries to those in need.

And even though helping grown -ups was good, what made Nicholas happy?

Massim smiled on the children's faces when the wishes came true.

But how did he become Father Christmas?

Well, he started making lists of all the children that were good and deserved a

present. Not just in his town, but in every town he visited.

And soon, the list got so long that it took a whole year to make all the gifts.

And then he chose a special night to deliver them all.

Christmas. That sounds familiar. Is Christmas real?

When is it? It's real.

It's less than a week away.

And now his list includes every child in the whole world.

So you better be good.

And just how does he travel around the whole entire world and visit every child

in one night?

He uses magic.

Really?

Well, he must have lost it then.

There haven't been presents in any stockings for years now.

Isn't that right, Finn?

Why hasn't Father Christmas been seen in years?

Why haven't we ever had a Christmas here?

Well, maybe it's because we don't believe.

We need to believe that he'll come.

Make a wish in your heart for him to answer.

I think it's cruel that you're getting their help.

I don't want any part of it.

Don't worry.

I'll talk to her.

We wish for a... Make it silent, so only he can hear.

We need to show Father Christmas that we believe.

You don't have to.

He can see it in your heart.

What if we made him something?

We should make him a wreath.

We can hang it on the door, and that way he'll know that he's welcome.

Here, you keep gathering firewood, and I'm going to look for some leaves and

holy berries.

Hello?

Hello?

Hello?

What are you looking for?

Holy berries and leaves.

Holy berries are poisonous.

They're not for eating.

We're making a wreath for the Christmas.

There is not going to be a Christmas, child.

Not this year.

Perhaps never again.

How would you know?

Can't you feel it?

It's gone.

What's gone?

The magic.

It's gone out of us.

And all good things are turning bad.

I know.

I'm not pity.

I was once.

You're an elf?

What happened to you?

There's a darkness in the north.

Father Christmas is dying.

He sent us to find the magic.

But he didn't realize how quickly the elves were turning. I only made it this

far because of this.

What's that?

It's a waystone.

A compass.

It was meant to guide me to the magic, but instead it led me to you.

Why me?

I don't know.

But I believe you are meant to have it.

Once you take it, there will be nothing left to keep the snarl from taking me.

I don't understand, but... Follow the compass.

Find the magic.

Save Krishna.

I can't do that.

I can't do it by myself.

What is it?

Animals!

Why is everybody always running in this place?

Are you alright?

I need to make sure no one's listening.

What are you doing? What's going on?

Come on, Aiden. Tell us. What is it?

What are you doing there? Aiden, what's going on? How is it happening?

As I've told you many times before, we don't bid them out until they become of

age.

Even orphans deserve to be children.

All right.

We'll take one before we leave town tomorrow, and we'll be back the other

I have something to show you.

It's important.

So you met a real live elf?

Yes.

And he told you Christmas wasn't coming back this year.

Well, not just this year. Maybe never.

Unless you use this.

crystal to find the missing magic?

Well, he called it a compass, but yes.

All right, I'm in.

You really believe me just like that?

I can't think of any better reason why you'd have a magic glowing rock.

So when do we leave?

You're all crazy.

You really want to get yourself lost and probably killed over a silly rock?

You know what? You're more than welcome to do it.

Alone.

No one invited you anyways.

We'll leave first thing in the morning.

But before you make your decisions, I want you to know that this is not going

be easy.

We're going to be runaways.

We're going to have no money, no food, no shelter.

All we have is this.

And we don't even know where it's taking us.

We're going to find the lost magic. We're going to save Christmas.

Rosalind's right.

You're all crazy.

But of course I'll go.

What are you all up to?

John O'Sullivan.

Go, Osho.

Do you want me to get past the ogre, okay?

Yeah, just barely.

Good. I don't want to come face to face with her this early.

Especially with her dragon breath.

Let's carry.

Come on, let's do this.

Darling God

Early

that's the boy.

Let me get you something to drink first

I know another way.

Follow me.

Don't wake the other children.

It's over 30 feet down.

That's why we're not jumping.

It's been too long.

Aiden, hurry.

Please, wait. I'm locked down all the way.

Aiden,

hurry.

Garrett, come on.

I can't leave without Rosalind.

I'll buy you time by pulling up the blankets so they won't know and catch

If I don't meet you by the edge of the woods, then go on without me.

Kevin, no, we can't go without you. Yes, you can, Aiden.

You must.

Promise me you will.

Promise.

Now go.

Hurry.

Where's Garret?

He didn't make it out.

He told me we had to go on without him.

He made me promise.

I understand if you want to go back - If it's a choice between following your

magic rock or facing the wrath of Sister Lenora and Father Mendo, I'll take my

chances with the rock.

Which way do you begin?

I

wish

I knew where this thing was taking us. It's easy.

North.

Well, how do you know that?

You can tell by the moth. It grows on the north side of the trees.

Oh, that's pretty handy.

Yeah, handy at night.

Probably just a squirrel or something.

Yeah, a squirrel.

Well, we should stay together.

Just in case.

Don't think we're alone in these woods.

I have an idea.

Anytime, nothing.

No!

Cut me down!

Is Garrett with you?

I am not telling you anything until you cut me down!

What is wrong with you, Finn?

Nothing's wrong with me. You're the one who's stalking us through the woods.

Now, where's Garrett?

He's not coming. What do you mean?

Is he all right?

No.

He's not all right.

Nothing is all right right now, Hayden.

We have to get moving.

They're after us.

Not that way.

We're heading north.

Well, if you want to go north, I know a faster way.

The river.

I assume you don't want anyone following you?

I couldn't imagine running into anyone worse.

Christmas is only four days away, so the faster the better.

See? What would you do without me?

I'll roll the blame.

That one.

Oh.

The Landry and Sister Lenore and Father Mendel are catching up with us.

This is going to be much faster than walking.

How did he know this was here?

Garrett used to help old man Husker haul his catch from here to the market.

Isn't he going to miss his boat?

Look at this thing.

Hasn't been used in months, maybe even years.

No one is going to miss it.

Is it lunchtime yet?

Looks like about midday.

Do we have to eat?

Sorry.

I got hungry.

Seriously?

How long did you think we were going to be out here?

Hey! What did you bring?

I was in a hurry.

Okay.

I thought you guys would be smart enough to bring more than just stinky cheese.

You could do a lot with stinky cheese.

Why don't we catch our own lunch?

Good idea, Ram.

You see?

If we all work together, we can make it.

What do you think you're going to pack?

This way it won't get away.

There's something in the water.

tattoos.

That went well.

We traveled much faster than we would have through your mossy trees.

We should make a fire and set up camp.

It's going to be dark soon.

What if a dragon smells of smoke and comes for us?

I'd welcome some dragon fire.

Dragons always smell smoke.

It's in their noses all the time.

They won't be able to tell our fire from their own.

Trust me.

We still shouldn't build a fire.

Why are you so scared, Rosalyn? It's not like we've never been caught and

punished before.

How does that thing work anyway?

It has to be some kind of magic, right?

My mother said the magic of Christmas is a child making a wish.

And it can be true.

Mind if I see that?

How did you do that?

I just did what you said.

I've had the same Christmas wish every year, to go on an adventure.

I've just thought about how I feel now that it's finally coming true.

Can we have it now?

I'd rather not see what happens after you two make a wish.

Why not?

Actually, you better hold on to that.

What was your wish?

Nothing special.

What about you?

Well, mine's not very original.

An orphan wishing for a family.

Welcome to the club.

Rosalie?

What are you doing here?

I was about to ask you the same question.

I just wanted to see how lost we really were.

There's something you're not telling us.

You've been acting really strange.

Why did you come after us?

Did something happen to Garrett?

I know he means a lot to you. You have no idea what you're talking about.

He would be here if he could.

What does that mean?

It means... It means the sun's up. We need to get moving again.

Rosalind!

Looks like your magic rocks been leading us in circles.

Gonna starve to death before we even get there.

Hey, I think I found something up here.

I thought you didn't believe in Christmas.

At this point, I don't know what to believe.

Can you smell that?

Fresh baked bread.

And bacon.

I'm not going in there.

Crystal says we go to the tavern.

I agree with Finn.

The compass hasn't seen us wrong yet.

And I have.

The river.

Wouldn't it be nice to go somewhere that wasn't crawling with bugs?

I doubt there are any less bugs in there than there are out here.

But who?

Doesn't look like a very charitable place, Finn.

How do you imagine paying for that food?

My good luck.

What? We'll have a loaf of your finest bread and a flagon of water, kind sir.

And how do you plan to apply for this?

About a train.

Come on, where's your Christmas spirit?

Well, you haven't noticed my decorations.

That was the last man they couldn't pay for his meal.

Now, scram!

All right.

Good idea.

Excuse me, sir.

Would you be so kind?

I am so sorry.

I thought you looked just like our uncle. Our mistake.

Thanks. Now it's about to get ugly.

You mean uglier.

Echoes are pretty ugly.

Get down!

What are you doing?

I know you.

you

Where did you get a waist off?

Waist off?

You get me out of here, kid.

we need to go we need to go we need to go now hey excuse me excuse me

We need to keep moving. No, I want answers.

All in good time.

From you.

Those two are partly responsible for my parents' death.

Do you know them?

No.

Well, I mean, not really.

Do you think Sister Lenora sent them after us?

What do they want with us?

They're bounty hunters.

Oh.

So which one of you got bedded out?

It was me.

What's bidded out?

When you become of age, you're old enough to become an apprentice.

Kids with parents usually pick their family trade, but kids like us get sold

the highest bidder.

Garrett.

They must have took him the morning we left.

That's who was there.

And you must have been the other one on the list.

I heard them talking about it.

They were going to send me to the mine.

I couldn't stand going. I had to run away. Well, it won't matter now who's of

age and who's not. Why not?

Well, let's put it this way. If those guys catch up to us, they're not taking

you back to the orphanage.

Rosalind, they've been after you this whole time.

Not us.

I put you all in danger.

I was afraid.

You should have told us.

We never would have loved you.

I'm so sorry.

This is all very sweet.

But there is a pack of ruthless bounty hunters who would have caught up to the

wagon by now and noticed that we are not in it.

So, unless you want to be really, really sorry, we need to go.

Now.

Who are you, anyway?

So an elf gave you his way stone just like that

Not exactly.

When he gave it to me, he... changed.

Changed?

Changed how?

I don't know. It was... It was like he went dark all of a sudden.

Like... Like all of the magic was being drained out of him.

He turned into a goblin.

He told me to follow the waystone.

And I did.

And it led me to you.

Do you know where the magic is?

I do.

But it's not that simple.

What do you mean?

Father Christmas's magic comes from an orb.

It's cut from the same crystal as your waystone.

I used to have it, but I lost it years ago.

Lost it? But you just said you knew where it was.

When I say I lost it, I meant to someone.

Or, in this case, an ogre.

So without this orb thing, there's no chance of saving Christmas?

Well, I know we should be rationing this, but if we're going after an ogre,

going to need my strength.

I think there's a rock in my shoe.

We have bigger things to worry about.

Monsters.

I can't believe you survived a fight with an ogre.

Well, it wasn't really a fight.

What was it then, a battle of wits?

Please, tell him you didn't lose to an ogre in a battle of wits.

Actually, it was a bet.

Why in the world would you make a bet with an ogre?

It's a long story.

Do you know what ogres like to eat?

Besides children.

Yes.

We're not going to let the ogre eat that, right?

No. It's a distraction.

Quiet down. Here we go.

Remember the signal in case it comes back.

I can do it.

Easy as pie.

I hope that's not what you said before losing your bet to me.

What does your stone do?

How is it going to help bring the magic back?

Well, Father Christmas uses it to slow down time so that he can deliver a

present.

How do you think he did it all in one night?

Will you be able to show us?

Uh, maybe.

There, there I see it.

It's supposed to be a bird call.

This way, this way!

You remember me?

I did it.

I received the need any help.

Stay unconscious forever!

Come on, quickly!

Quickly!

Run! No!

We made it.

So is that the rock?

For the Christmas season to slow down time.

That's how we deliver all the presents in one night.

Show us how it works.

Yeah, sure.

Well, I don't actually know that I can make it work.

Why? What's missing?

Well, I don't actually know that it works at all anymore.

Ever since I laid hands on it, it's been dark.

How did you end up with this thing?

That's a long story. Look, if it's like Aidan says, and the elves are turning,

then we don't have much time.

Okay, we've got two days to get this to Father Christmas, and that's our only

chance of making it work again.

All right.

How do we find Father Christmas?

I was afraid you'd ask that.

I can take you to the border of the north, but that's as far as I'm going.

Come on, then.

Is that a field over there?

Wouldn't that be easier to travel up?

It'd be quicker, yeah.

But being out in the open like that makes it easy lunch for a dragon.

Besides, those woods are home to bandits.

You'd think that these woods are infested with goblins.

Are there goblins in these woods?

In these woods?

No.

The scariest thing's in these woods.

He doesn't seem very sure of himself.

What do you feel about using rivers to travel?

It's a good way to hide your tracks, right?

It seems like it could work.

There's a lot of foul beasts lurking in that water who wouldn't think twice

about turning you into chum.

Ouch.

What is it?

They shot this little one down, too.

No, don't!

Aiden is hurt.

She's an orphan, like us now.

If we don't help her, no one will.

We really should be going. There is nothing we can do.

Those bandits will be here any minute to make sure that that dragon is dead.

Aren't the bandits too scared to come into the woods?

What about the goblins?

The only problem is there are no goblins.

Yes, there are.

Think the beef went down by the river

Don't

be a coward

This way.

goblin

Get over here.

Don't worry.

He'll be back soon.

Isn't that sweet?

A girl and her dragon.

Step aside.

This one's mine.

I shot it down.

It's mine to kill.

Then you'll have to get through me first.

Our dragon.

Are you a goblin?

Who are you?

I was going to ask you the same thing.

Well, it looks like you didn't have any problems here.

Well, I did run into a little trouble, but I was able to take care of it.

With help.

Found you the herbs you needed.

Is there one?

That's for leaving.

And that is for not saying goodbye.

And that is for stealing the orb of Borealis.

Are you going to beat the rest of us up, too?

No.

I only do that to thieves.

Aidan, do you care to explain what's going on?

Who's your new friend?

This is Serwyn.

She's one of the elves from the north trying to find the Obel Borealis, which

apparently was stolen from Father Christmas by his son.

Isn't that right, Eric?

He didn't do it for me.

You're still pretty selfish.

You have no idea what's happening in the north, do you?

Well, I can see that it's not good.

Oh, this is the least of it.

The North is dying.

The snow is back and it is huge and dark and dangerous and growing and for the

Christmas... Your father is not doing well.

Hold on.

I thought this orb thing was for delivering presents.

Now the sun is destroying the North.

I may not have been completely honest about its powers.

That is the understatement of the century.

When connected to Father Christmas' staff, the orb makes time in the north

constantly slower.

It has to, for the north to function.

Is that why Father Christmas has lived for so long?

Yes.

And it also helps us keep the snarl at bay.

With the power to control time, it can pretty much do anything.

No, it can't.

Eric, you know that the orb...

can slow down time. Sometimes he can stop it, but nothing.

Not even the orb can reverse it. Yeah, but he didn't even try.

Someone had to try.

Who?

Eric's mother died.

Five years ago.

He stole the orb to turn back time and save her.

You know that I never meant for any of that to happen.

I would never do anything to hurt you.

Don't ever leave without saying goodbye again.

I'm glad you came back.

There isn't much time.

Even now, it may be too late to save Christmas.

We failed.

There's still a chance, Aidan.

But we must return the orb back to Father Christmas.

I was afraid you'd say that.

I know it hurts, but this will help your wing heal faster.

What are we going to do with her?

We're keeping her.

She's not going to be able to travel very far until her wings heal.

We can't wait.

Tomorrow is Christmas Eve.

We can take her with us.

Dragons are meant to fly, not walk.

She would never make it in the snow.

What is so bad about this small thing?

You'll find out soon enough.

I don't like the sound of that at all.

We should get some sleep.

We're going to need our rest.

You'll be safe here.

You've plenty of food and water.

Stay off that wing.

Even though it's healing fast, no flying.

You need your rest.

Don't worry.

We've created a sacred bond with her.

You two will always be able to find one another.

You ready to go?

We're going north.

Get up with us when you can.

They're fine beyond all belief.

It's going to take big.

I told you it was bad.

All that in a few years.

It's gotten worse as time goes on.

No elves left to cut it back. It's gone dark and wild.

Are you sure it's a good idea for you to go in there?

Going through is the only way to the north now.

We have no other choice.

We have full -blown watched.

Shh.

No, he's right.

There is something out there.

Goblins.

They're gathering, closing in on us.

I've never met a full -blown goblin before, but deep down they're still

Right?

It all makes us forget who we are.

To feel it.

Who we are.

So what do we do?

We need to stay together.

Your money.

You have to find it.

We need you.

Don't leave.

You used the orb.

Disgusting.

They're so bad.

If we can get the orb back to Father Christmas in time.

The sun is already setting.

It's Christmas evening.

Where Father Christmas lives.

It didn't always look like this.

Are you ready?

I just want to warn you.

You're not going to like what you see.

He's still alive. He's just old.

It was only the magic of the orb that kept his body young.

Without it, he's just a thousand -year -old man.

Father.

I've brought back...

You can save Christmas.

Come on, children.

Give them some time alone.

Angry you must be.

Did I know that there is nothing I can say to fix the time?

Here's our last hope.

At least I get to spend my last Christmas with you.

I can't believe we came all this way for nothing.

We can't just give up.

There's nothing else to do.

And it's all my fault.

Christmas is lost forever.

No, it can't be lost.

If we give up, then it really is lost.

But we already know that the magic, it's not completely gone. Maybe not yet.

But without a whole lot of magic, Father Christmas won't ever wake up.

Our Christmas wishes.

We got our dragon.

I never told you.

But my wish was to be free from the life I would have been forced into.

And I guess that came true, too.

I can't imagine those goons finding me all the way up here.

And I guess my wish came true a long time ago.

And what was that?

A family.

I don't know.

I mean, even with all those wishes, look, my father hadn't died.

Not yet.

But they're right about the wishes.

Who knows how many it will take.

But look how powerful mine was in the snow.

When did your wish come true in the snow?

When you said you needed me.

All right, Eden.

I believe.

What's the plan?

Get the list from your father.

Rand, wait Finn. Go help Farron prepare the present.

Grogulyn, you're with me.

Wait, how are we going to pull the sleigh without magic?

I shouldn't think it's going to work.

No, but it's not impossible to imagine that it might.

That's everything.

It's now or never.

All right, dragon.

On the count of three.

One.

Two.

Once all the presents are delivered, we'll ring the town bell and everyone

be able to wake up to their gifts. With that many Christmas wishes coming true,

there'll be enough magic to save Christmas for good.

Emmeline, try the last one.

Floss and Pike.

Pansy and Pennybrook.

I'm more agreeable.

is out of bed.

Hoyt? Ran?

Where have you been? I have been worried sick.

We went to the north to find Father Christmas.

There is no Father Christmas.

This is yours.

This one's for you.

I've always wanted one.

How did you know?

It's not from us.

It's from him.

Just like the one my mother had.

All the gifts have been delivered.

It's up to Aidan and the twins now. Ring the bell.

I'll go see a kid now.

What is it?

The dragon! I have to go help her! You two go on without me.

Wait. Where's that Christmas spirit?

Well, angry mobs aren't exactly known for their goodwill.

Bring the beast!

Step aside.

You're going to have to kill us first.

Yeah, what he said.

So be it.

Out of the way, girl.

This dragon is made for us to kill. There's no need for violence.

It's Christmas.

Christmas or not, that's a dragon. Yeah.

I know all too well about the danger of dragons.

It was a dragon that took my parents from me.

But I was able to look past my fear.

If we don't hurt them, they won't surpass.

It's a young dragon.

It's an orphan, like me.

Well, well, well.

Looks like our Christmas wish came true.

Are you going to come along quietly, or do you need persuading?

It's a young dragon now.

The dragons go up. Then what? Then what?

Christmas is about forgiving and understanding.

It reminds us to think of others.

Instead of ourselves.

This dragon saved our lives.

And it helped us to live a Christmas.

What Christmas?

There is no Christmas anymore.

You have to let her go.

If someone doesn't ring that bell, there will never be another Christmas ever

again.

Christmas.

That's just a story for kids.

Rosalind's too old to believe in that nonsense, isn't that right?

If I let her go, she'd just run away to save herself.

Let us go and you'll find her.

You're going to need two hands to ring that bell.

So it'll be save yourself or save Christmas.

Rosaline, you have to believe.

Ring the bell and you're mine.

Let's go!

We did it.

This might actually work.

There's the rest of them.

Let go of them now!

My own...

This little one has spirit.

You.

You're the reason my mother and father are dead.

Because of you that I'm an orphan.

Yes, I remember.

You cost me a lot that day.

I lost some good men and a good wagon.

It's time to repay me for other trucks. She is not going anywhere.

If you try to take her, that dragon will burn you to the ground.

Well that can't happen, can it?

A good dragon is a dead dragon!

Gazaret. Born tall.

Untie those children and release them to me.

Listen, old man, we've paid for the girl and we're already several days past her

delivery.

The rest we're taking for our trouble.

The only thing you'll be getting, Gazaret, grim grace is justice.

And you barely deserve that much.

For your treachery, your thievery, your dishonesty, and most... Despicably, your

attack on these children, I find you guilty and sentence you. To what?

What are you gonna do?

You are both banished.

Leave this land and never, ever, ever return.

And if we do, you'll have to deal with us.

All of us.

Yeah!

Thank you for finding my son and bringing him home.

It wasn't me who found him.

It was these children.

Rand, Hoyt, Rosalind, Finn, Aidan.

My sincerest thanks.

I'll not forget what you've done for me.

Serwen, Herk.

Make sure Gazaret and Borntal have left for good.

I'll see to it that these children get back home.

What's wrong, child?

Don't you want to go?

I just thought after all this, we wouldn't have to go back to the

That's not your home anymore.

Your home is with me now.

For as long as you want.

And that goes for the rest of you, too.

I'm sure we can find five beds for you to sleep in.

Father Christmas?

I have one more Christmas.

Yes.

We can pick up Garrett along the way.

Don't have to. Just give him a scratch. Hold on.

Family is what is most important in life.

Be it formed of blood or of bond, when someone joins a family, they're bound

together forever.

They come to our rescue when we need it the most.

With family, we have our saddest moment,

but also our happiest.

Family is one of God's greatest gifts to us.

And we must honor it with all our heart throughout our lives.

And so, fair one, with great joy, you

are hereby joined with our family.

Don't just stand there, boy. Kiss the girl.
