WEDDING INTRODUCTION
Afraa: My dear fellow Kalaharians and honored guests, it is so good to see you all be a part of the wonderful event we celebrate today. In the dangerous world we live in, during these perilous times, we look for signs of rebirth, for a season that will allow all people to welcome and support each other, to accept and care for each other, to love each other.
 |
| King welcomes all guests |
CEREMONY
King: Thank you, Afraa, for your introduction. I am very much excited, that today we have a unique event in Kalahari, that will blow away all prejudices about our traditional Arab society. Today Kalahari will witness the connection between the strong and courageous Luiza and the beautiful and sensitive Lady Javiera. Yes this is a connection between two wives, that are both earn an honest living as pleasure workers in our Ka Kum club, independent women, who challenge maleocracy by searching for our weakest spots.

| Wedding guests |
Kalahari respects this and is happy to offer housing to this couple. I am sure they will be a perfect couple and will offer so much joy to our little Kingdom. And I must admit, that I deeply admire Luiza for his skill in selecting the most beautiful woman (apart from my Queen) in our lands. To show my appreciation, I will allow the protection of the King to this first lesbian marriage in Kalahari history and let everyone know that, at the request of Luiza and Javiera, I and my beloved Queen will be this child's godfather and godmother)
 |
| The generous King Hassan |
Now let's come to the point.
My dear Javiera, may I ask you to do your vows?
VOWS
Javiera: Luiza, I promise to be your eternal wife. I vow to love and honor you in good times and bad. I give you my heart for you to protect it from hurt, my body for you to care for me, I give you my soul to watch over us, and I bring you my love forever.
I pledge myself to you as your loyal and loving wife; and extremely faithful forever.
Luiza smiles, thrilled, as she dabs a tear from her eye.
Hassan: My dear Luiza, may I ask you to do your vows?
Luiza: My vow to you is to be your wife, your lover and your best woman and extremely faithful. I have always said that I am the luckiest wife here and I truly believe that, because I get to marry my best woman who is always surprising and challenging me. I promise never to miss food, affection, love, protection to you and our baby (girl) who is in your womb with the grace of Allah. I love you, my extremely faithful, beautiful, caring loving wife and neither you nor our baby will suffer any need, I promise Allah.
Jav winks and is too much happy
King pronounces them wife and wife.
Wild Applause.

Then Minister Nilasso sings this song:
Quand on n'a que l'amour
By Jacques Brel
Quand on n'a que l'amour (When we only have love)
À s'offrir en partage (To offer to share)
Au jour du grand voyage (To the day of the great journey)
Qu'est notre grand amour (That is our great love)
Quand on n'a que l'amour (When we only have love)
Mon amour, toi et moi (My love, you and me)
Pour qu'éclatent de joie (For that brilliance of joy)
Chaque heure et chaque jour. (Each hour and each day)
Quand on n'a que l'amour (When we only have love)
Pour vivre nos promesses (To live our promises)
Sans nulle autre richesse (Without any other wealth)
Que d'y croire toujours (Then to believe always)
Quand on n'a que l'amour (When we only have love)
Pour meubler de merveilles (To furnish with wonders)
Et couvrir de soleil (And to cover with the sun)
La laideur des faubourgs (The ugliness of suburbia)
Quand on n'a que l'amour (When we only have love)
Pour unique raison (as only reason)
Pour unique chanson (as only song)
Et unique secours (and as only help)
Quand on n'a que l'amour (When we only have love)
Pour habiller matin (To dress up the morning)
Pauvres et malandrins (The poor and the bandits)
De manteaux de velours (In velvet coats)
Quand on n'a que l'amour (When we only have love)
À offrir en prière (To offer as prayer)
Pour les maux de la terre (To the earth's pains)
En simple troubadour (As a simple troubadour)
Quand on n'a que l'amour (When we only have love)
À offrir à ceux-là (To offer to those)
Dont l'unique combat (Whose sole struggle)
Est de chercher le jour (Is to look for daylight)
Quand on n'a que l'amour (When we only have love)
Pour tracer un chemin (To show the way)
Et forcer le destin (And change the course of fate)
À chaque carrefour (At every crossroad)
Quand on n'a que l'amour (When we only have love)
Pour parler aux canons (To speak to the war canons)
Et rien qu'une chanson (And have just a song)
Pour convaincre un tambour (To convince a military drum)
Alors, sans avoir rien (So, having nothing)
Que la force d'aimer (But the strength to love)
Nous aurons dans nos mains (We will have in our hands)
Ami, le monde entier (My friend, the whole world)
((end))
Wild Applause
and then Luiza and Javiera move to the reception in the Queen Vi Plaza.
RECEPTION
Under the watchful eyes of many distinguished guests
the party soon transformed into a warm gathering of friends, new and old, the high and mighty, the poor and criminal, all united in their desire for a long and happy married life for Javiera and Luiza.
Some even lurked near the food and drink! But all enjoyed their celebration!
All is now quiet: the tent has been folded, the food distributed, the musicians have packed up their instruments, the dancers changed from their silks, the guests have found their way home.
But something lingers, a touch of beauty fills the air, the warm memories of two people whose love brought them together reminds us all that peace and beauty are our destiny, if only we have the courage to choose them.
