(To THE BRIDE) Repeat after me: "I, Mary, take thee, John, to be my aseptic and eugenic husband, to have and to hold from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, to love, to cherish and to nurse, till death do us part; and thereto I give thee my troth."
(THE BRIDE duly promises. THE BEST MAN then hands over the ring, which THE CLERGYMAN drops into the bichloride. It turns green. He fishes it up again, wipes it dry with a piece of aseptic cotton and presents it to THE BRIDEGROOM, who places it upon the third finger of THE BRIDE'S left hand. Then THE CLERGYMAN goes on with the ceremony, THE BRIDEGROOM repeating after him.)
