Dear friends and foes, we are gathered here today to celebrate and witness the joining of a man and a woman and another man in marriage. This is a very special day, and one that I am honored to open.We are not here to mark the start of a relationship; we are here to recognize a bond that already exists. Jager, Philippe and Katherine have joined themselves together, and you all have gathered so that they might bear witness before you of the oneness that has grown up between them.Here, they will affirm this oneness and this dedication formally and publicly, as they have already affirmed it to each other. As they now exist as one in their own eyes; so may they exist in yours.This union has already occurred in the giving and receiving of their love and in the myriad ways in which they have entwined their lives together.Into this union, Jager, Philippe, and Katherine now come to be joined. If any of you can show why they may not be married, prepare for a smacking; or forever hold your peace and shut the **** up.Philippe, you may now kiss the bride and groom. And the minister, if you want.
