Here’s the bit.

Chris and Lachel are ready to marry, but Chris keeps finding ways to avoid the words that make it official. Their increasingly exasperated pastor tries reassurance, repetition and a more persuasive incentive, only to discover that the bride has her own questions about the ceremony.
