He calls Kip a dashing rapscallion before asking Penelope the same thing. She does too. They place the rings on their hands. Mitchell is about to ask “forever hold their peace” but Miro stops it.
James finishes off the familiar words and the two kiss. Mitchell tells them all to join Miro in a toast. They get champagne glasses (Miro drinks Chuck’s).
