The following is the transcript of the service, as performed by Argo's Friend.
Thank you all for attending this happy occasion.
We are gathered here to join Makaylah and Smiph in Palace Wedded Bliss.
It is such a joy for me to perform this ceremony not only for two people who are wonderful, but also who are my very good friends.
Although you both came to the Xena Palace looking for other Xenites with whom to share your love of the show, you found so much more.
The couple has told me, that Xena has more of a special meaning to them now, for if not for the show, they wouldn\rquote t have found the Palace, and then each other.
Makaylah and Smiph, I remember when you first started to notice you had a lot in common. Your sense of humor, your likes and dislikes, and more.
You started to always be next to each other, and that sparked a closeness and true friendship. A foretelling of this night.
In only a few months, your friendship gradually grew into a stronger bond, creating a very special relationship between the two of you.
That bond then turned into a deep love and ultimately created true intimacy.
Love is so rare in this world, and you must always work to strengthen and nurture the love and closeness you share, through good times and bad.
Communication is the key for all strong and happy relationships.
May you always find the skills to listen, understand and be patient. Also, to be able to give to the other person and want their happiness
The wedding ring is round and represents never ending love. For it has no beginning and no end, and so shall your love.
You are now professing your love in front of your friends, so that they will know you belong together from this day forward.
Do you Smiph, take Makaylah to be your Palacely Wedded Wife, to love and respect her? In good times and in bad times, in sickness and in health?
Do you promise to protect her and give your love unto her alone, forsaking all others?
Connzo, please give the ring to Smiph. Smiph, please give the ring to Makaylah, and repeat after me:
I, Smiph, take you Makaylah, to be my Palacely Wedded Wife, to love, honor and cherish you for all the days in our lives.
Do you Makaylah, take Smiph to be your Palacely Wedded Husband, to love and respect him? In good times and in bad times, in sickness and in health?
Do you promise to protect him and give your love unto him alone, forsaking all others?

I, Makaylah, take you Smiph, to be my Palacely Wedded Husband, to love, honor and cherish you for all the days in our lives.
Know you are now joined in Palace Wedded Bliss. Know that your commitment to each other will be stronger now, and your love will grow deeper.
I now pronounce you Palace Husband and Palace Wife. You may now seal this union with a kiss.
