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.
