"OK. I need a strip of cloth, about a foot long. Anything will do. Never mind." He untied his bow tie and smiled at me. "River, take one end of this, wrap it around your hand, and hold it out to me." We were standing in the console room. Amy and Rory were standing behind me. We both wrap an end of the tie around our hands. "Now, we're sort of in a hurry, so we'll have to do the quick version. Rory Williams, say "I consent and gladly give"." The Doctor said without looking out of my eyes. "I consent and gladly give." I felt a tear roll down my cheek. "Need you to say it too, Amy." She nodded and complied.
"I consent and gladly give." Another tear. "Now, River, I'm about to whisper something in your ear, and you have to remember it very, very carefully and tell no one what I said." The Doctor told me. I nodded. He bent down to my ear and whispered two words. "I just told you my biggest secret. Now there you go, River Song. You're the woman who married me." I smiled as another tear rolled down my face. "Then you may kiss the bride." I said. "I'll make it a good one." "You better."
