The Bridal Shop - The next day, 5:30 p.m.
(Maria is sewing a wedding veil; Tony enters. She
persuades him to try to stop the fight. After planning
to meet that evening, they arrange the mannequins in
bridal party garb for a mock wedding, then kneel, as
before an altar.)
TONY: I, Anton, take thee, Maria...
MARIA: I, Maria, take thee, Anton...
TONY: For richer, for poorer...
MARIA: In sickness and in health...
TONY: To love and to honor...
MARIA: To hold and to keep...
TONY: From each sun to each moon...
MARIA: From tomorrow to tomorrow...
TONY: From now to forever...
MARIA: Till death do us part.
TONY: With this ring, I thee wed.
MARIA: With this ring, I thee wed.
TONY: Make of our hands one hand,
Make of our hearts one heart,
Make of our vows one last vow
Only death will part us now
MARIA: Make of our lives one life,
Day after day one life.
BOTH:
Now it begins, now we start
One hand one heart;
Even death won't part us now.
(They rise and slowly put the mannequins back
into position.)
BOTH: Make of our lives one life,
Day after day one life.
Now it begins, now we start
One hand one heart;
Even death won't part us now.
