We are here today to celebrate

the marriage of Rachel and Mark

and their commitment

to a life together.

Do you, Mark, have this woman

to be your wife,

to love her, honour her,

cherish her in joy and in sorrow

for as long as you both shall live?

I do.

Do you, Rachel, have this man

to be your husband,

to love him, honour him,

cherish him in joy and in sorrow

for as long as you both shall live?

I do.

I, Mark Louis Forman, take you,

Rachel Louise Samstat,

to be my wife,

to have and to hold,

to love and to cherish

from this day forward,

until death part... part us.

With this ring, I wed thee.

I, Rachel Louise Samstat,

take you, Mark Louis Forman,

to be my husband,

to love and to cherish,

to have and to hold,

from this day forward,

until death shall part us.

With this ring, I thee wed.

As Mark and Rachel

have decided to marry

and have promised to be loving

and faithful to each other

through all the circumstances

life may bring,

have exchanged rings

as a token of that pledge,

I declare that they are

husband and wife.

- I love you.

- I love you.

Gorgeous little tree.

- Oh, this white one?

- Yes.

- No, no.

- What? Which one?

- The...

- Oh, the sold one.

Needs a little work. OK?

Oh, well, we got a good price on it

because they had a sort of a fire.

Thank you.

And this...

...is...

...why we bought the place.

It's the... It's the original fireplace.

What do you think?

Yeah, you have to use

your imagination.

It's going to be beautiful.

Not necessarily in your lifetime.

It's just that there's no door

to the kitchen.

The back door.

The back door.

Yes.

It's true.

You can get into the kitchen...

...through the back door.

This, we know is a kitchen.

But you can't get inside the house

from in the kitchen!

Now, how the f***

did this happen?!

Mark. For God's sake.

Laszlo, we thought that

you could put a door here.

She's a piece of cake.

- He's a piece of cake.

- It's a piece of cake.

- You are Hungarian?

- No. You are Hungarian.

- Yes.

- Yes. Hungarians have no pronouns.

Apparently, they don't have

f***ing doors, either.

She is very angry at me.

He is very angry at you. Yes.

- Why aren't you angry at him?

- It's only a door, honey.

It will be extra, yes?

Why don't we just hire

another contractor?

Forget about the money

and just hire someone else.

That's just what I was thinking.

In China they have to eat

this sh*t every day.

Nobody's making you eat it. They're

serving dinner at this stupid party.

What are you so upset about?

There's just dust everywhere.

Look at it.

There's dust in my pores.

- It's not funny.

- Yes, it is.

Well, I told you that you shouldn't
