Brennan will cherish
any chance to take you out

and spend quality time
with you.

However, he will grab the bill
and read it line by line

every time--
- I need that.

- To make sure that not even
one penny is overcharged.

- Yes!
[laughter]

- We hope that you're
ready for the ride

of a lifetime with someone
who is willing

to give you everything
and more.

Emily and Brennan, you have
written your own vows.

- Yes.

Bear with me and my scroll.

- OK.
[laughter]

OK.

Today marks the accomplishment
of a lot of firsts for me--

my first time being
in a relationship,

my first time being married,
my first time being in love.

Well, hopefully,
or that'll be awkward,

my first time taking a chance
and risk of a lifetime.

Let's not forget
that plot twist.

We don't know each other,
at all.

But that doesn't mean that
I'm not ready for everything

we're about to embark on.

From the good, the bad,
and the ugly,

I can't wait for you
to show me

that I am your girl
through it all.

I will always have your back
and always defend you.

So giddy up, babe, because
I am in it for the long run.

- Amazing.

Mine was smaller font,
so I only needed one page.

[laughter]

I stand before you today,
ready to be your husband.

I've been waiting all my life
for this moment.

And words cannot explain
how excited I am

that this day has finally come.

I promise to always
listen to you,

and to only offer advice
when you ask for it.

I promise to be as spontaneous
as often as possible,

which may include bringing
home flowers for no reason,

or even taking you
on random fast food trips

at 10:00 p.m. on a Tuesday.
- Ooh, that's so important.

[laughter]

- We might not know
each other yet,

but I already know that
I wouldn't choose anyone else

to join me on this crazy ride.

And I cannot wait
to make a lifetime

of first memories
like this together.
