"Madeline Ashton's Intimate Wedding Extravaganza"
(from "Death Becomes Her (Original Broadway Cast Recording)" soundtrack)

[OFFICIANT:]
Family, friends
We are gathered here on this glorious day to witness the union of Madeline Ashton and Ernest Menville
Now, Madeline and Ernest have written their own vows, which will be performed today by the famed opera singer Luciano Milioti

[ERNEST:]
What?

[MADELINE:]
He's just translating!
I flew him in to surprise you!
Oh, and I did a little rewrite on your vows

[ERNEST:]
You what?

[OFFICIANT:]
May we continue?

[ERNEST, LUCIANO:]
Um, Madeline
You are the light of my life. (Sei la luce della mia vita)
You have captured my heart— (Hai catturato il mio cuore)
Captured my heart the way you will capture (Come tanti cuori)
So many hearts around (In tutto il mondo)
The world this summer in Space Jam 3. (Questa estate in Space Jam 3)

[MADELINE, LUCIANO:]
I will take your hand (You hold my heart in your hands)
To hold my heart, forever (Yours forever)

Never letting go

[OFFICIANT:]
Madeline, do you take this man to be your lawfully wedded husband, 'til death do you part?

[MADELINE:]
Oh, I do, I do, I do, you know that I do

[OFFICIANT:]
And Ernest, do you take this woman to be your lawfully wedded wife, 'til death do you part?

[LUCIANO:]
I do!

[HELEN:]
Stop the wedding!
This was supposed to be my day!

[MADELINE:]
Hel?

[ERNEST:]
Helen?

[MADELINE:]
Security!

[HELEN:]
Don't do this!
She'll destroy your life just like she destroyed mine!
Tell my story...

[ERNEST:]
Are you alright?

[MADELINE:]
It's all ruined!

[ERNEST:]
It's the first day of the rest of our lives together, nothing could ruin that!
