Huo smirked, 'I don 't know how it is in the palace, but in the west marriage is a simple exchange of vows, and ceremony is not always required. '

Yue puffed his cheeks as he raised his head, an obstinate child on full display for the remaining council.

'Yue, do you promise to stay with Maomao, for better or worse, to have and to hold, for richer or poorer, in sickness and in health 'til death do you part? '

'Of COURSE what a silly question, ' someone was trying to push water into his hands.

'Maomao, do you promise to stay by Yue 's side, to have and to hold, for better or worse, in sickness and in health, in richness or in destitution 'til death do you part? '

She looked around her, 'I 've BEEN doing that for some time now. '

'But can you promise to KEEP doing it 'til death do you part? '

'Yes. '

'Well then, by the power vested in me by NOBODY in particular I deem you Husband and Wife, you may kiss the bride. '

Didn 't say WHERE.
