"Beetlejuice changes his clothes to a wedding tux. Lydia looks down and sees she is wearing a red dress. Shall we?" Adam's lower jaw falls off and Barbara replaces it. "I called the caterers, got a great band. Oops. We're gonna need witnesses. Would ya?" Beetlejuice shifts his glare to Charles and Delia. From behind, Delia's horrid sculptures come to life and attack Delia and Charles. The sculptures twist around them, forcing them to watch the hideous spectacle. Adam and Barbara are rapidly trying to recover as the wedding ceremony begins.
A Death-Masked Old Preacher slides down the fireplace, ready to perform the service, speaks with a hissing death rattle. "Let's go", said Beetlejuice. "Let's get on with the ceremony." "Do you, Betel...", said the Preacher. "Ah! Ooh-ooh-ooh, ah-ah-ah", said Beetlejuice cutting the Preacher out. "Nobody says the "B" word, come on." "Do you take this woman to be your wedded wife?", said the Preacher. Beetlejuice steps away for a minute to contemplate whether he should go through with it. "Oh, geez", he said. "I don't know. It's kind of a big decision, isn't it? I always said if I ever did it, I was gonna do it once and that was it." He goes back over to Lydia and the Preacher "Sure. Go ahead." "And do you, Lydia, take this man...", said the Preacher. "No! Betel...", exclaimed Lydia. "She's a little nervous", said Beetlejuice as he cover her mouth. "Maybe I should answer for her." He speaks in Lydia's voice. "I'm Lydia Deetz and I'm of sound mind. The man next to me is the one I want. You asked me. I'm answering. Yes, I love that man of mine. Come on. Come on."
"Beetlejui... ", said Adam, Betelgeuse turns to him and with a sweep of his hand. Adam's teeth (as if they were false), fly out of his mouth and clatter to the floor. Adam, toothless, musters up his ghost powers and on teeth tight, they rare back and continue shouting... "Beetleju...", said Adam's Teeth. Mayhem breaks out. A furious Beetlejuice stomps at them with his feet. The teeth scuttle under the model. "Scram!", exclaimed Beetlejuice. "Come on! "Take a hike." He sends Adam into the model. "May we continue with the ceremony?, said the Preacher as he cleared his throat before he continued. "Then by..." "Beetlejuice", said Barbara. Beetlejuice screeches and zips her mouth closed and she unzips it. "Beetlejuice", said Barbara as he gears up to throw something, and a metal plate appears over her mouth. "Strike!", said Beetlejuice. "C'mon, let's get rollin' now, Rev!" "Then by the authority vested in me...", said the Preacher. "The ring, please." Adam removes the broken lamppost from the truck, closes the hood and hops in. "The ring!, exclaimed Beetlejuice. "Oh, no! You know I got it, honey. Barbara is sent back to the desert world with the sandworms. Adam driving the model truck down the road in the model as Beetlejuice removes the ring from the finger. "Here it is. Here you go," said Beetlejuice. Lydia is repulsed by the sight of the ring being removed from the finger. "She meant nothin' to me. Nothin' at all!"
"I now pronounce you...", said the Preacher. Adam is now driving the truck across the floor towards Beetlejuice and Lydia. "Yeah yeah, come on." "Man and...", continued the Preacher. Adam bails just as the truck hits Beetlejuice's foot and catches fire; we see Barbara riding the sandworm which eats Beetlejuice. "Rrrrat shit", he exclaimed. Barbara and Adam embrace. The preacher disappears. Charles and Delia can now see Adam and Barbara.
