I'm sorry I'm a little late.

May be confused by this now, but you

won't be Memorial Day weekend 2002.

[laughter]

Well, let's get started before the groom

takes off again. Huh? [laughter]

We are gathered here today

to join this man

and this woman in the bonds of holy

matrimony.

I've known Monica and Chandler for a

long time and I cannot imagine

two people more perfect for each other.

And now,

as I've left my notes in my dressing

room,

we shall proceed to the vows. Monica,

he took off. Go on.

[laughter]

Chandler,

for so long, I I wondered if I would

ever find my prince,

my soulmate.

Then three years ago, at another

wedding, I turned to a friend for

comfort.

And instead, I found everything that I'd

ever been looking for my whole life.

And now

here we are

with our future before us.

And I only want to spend it with you,

my prince,

my soulmate,

my friend.

Unless you don't want to.

You go, [laughter]

>> Chandler.

That's okay.

[laughter]

Monica, I thought this was going to be

the most difficult thing I ever had to

do.

But when I saw you walking down that

aisle, I realized how simple it was.

I love you. Any

surprises that come our way, it's okay

because I will always love you.

You are the person I was meant to spend

the rest of my life with.

You want to know if I'm sure?

You may now kiss the bride.

[laughter]

So,

I guess by the powers vested in me by

the state of New York and the internet

guys,

[laughter]

I now pronounce you husband and wife.

Oh, wait.

Do you take each other?

>> I do.

>> I do.

>> Yeah, you do.

[laughter]

>> Rings. Oh, crap. Okay. Um,

let's do the rings.

>> [laughter]

>> We good? Yeah. Good. [laughter]

Once again, I pronounce you husband and

wife. Now kiss her again.

[laughter]

>> [applause and music]

[applause]

>> I love you.

>> And I know about the baby.

>> What baby?

>> Our baby.

>> We have a baby. [laughter]

>> Phoebe found your pregnancy test in the

trash.

>> I didn't take a pregnancy test. And who

did?

>> Look at them.

Oh, and they're going to have a baby.

Uh-huh.

BB and Mike are perfect for each other.

And I know I speak for everyone here

when I wish them a lifetime of

happiness. Who has the rings?

Okay.

When I was growing up, I didn't have a

normal mom and dad or a regular family

like everybody else. And and I always

knew that something was missing.

But now I'm standing here today knowing

that I have everything I'm ever going to

need.

You are my family.

Baby, you are so beautiful. You're so

kind. You're so generous.

You're so wonderfully weird.

[laughter]

Every day with you is an adventure,

and I can't believe how lucky I am,

and I can't wait to share my life with

you forever.

Oh, wait. Oh, I forgot. And um I love

you.

And you have nice eyes. [laughter]

>> I love you, too.

>> Uh Joey.

>> Yeah,

>> Chappie's heart rate has slowed way

down.

[laughter]

>> Okay. Uh uh Phoebe, do you take this man

to be your husband?

>> I do.

Mike, do you take this woman to be your

wife?

>> I do.

>> I now pronounce you

husband and wife.

[cheering]

[applause]

>> We got married. [laughter]

Could someone get me a code? I'm

freaking freezing.
