So... there's a lot of humans here, right? Can you answer something for me?
You have this ritual that somehow revolves around wearing a white hat with a long piece of lace behind it and throwing flowers. I believe it's called "magnetomony" or something similiar.
Can one of you please explain that to me?

So as you're aware, we only have one romantic relationship in our lives. Between two people. Usually a man and a woman, although same sex relationships are not uncommon. Most of us date around a bit when we're young. Sometimes things don't work out. But when you're sure that this person is the one that you want to spend the rest of your life with, that's when you get married.
Most often, the man proposes. Traditionally he'll get down on one knee and ask his intended to marry him, offering her a diamond engagement ring. If she accepts, she'll wear the ring for the rest of her life. It symbolizes that the couple is engaged to be married.

It goes on this finger. James got me an emerald rather than a diamond, because it matches my eyes.
[A pause to admire the ring.]Then there's a wedding. A wedding is a ceremony where you stand before all your ( ... )

All right, I think I see how that could work. Now, this is a pity or loving relationship, right? You don't marry someone you hate?

I see. That's a really nice idea.
Do humans do it often?

Yes, they do. But before that, they get to know each other well, and if they love each other very much, they enter what is called an engagement. One of the pair gives the other a ring, promising him or her that they will have the marriage. And in several months, they have the marriage, and they are officially together.

[Huh?
O-oh.]
You mean when people get married?!~

Yes, married. That.
How do they do it in your culture?

Anyways:]
Usuuuuually how it goes, when two people are deeply and intensely in love, they get married! To... state that they will be partners for life!
There is a ceremony with the families of both wife and groom, watching as they formally make this contract and enjoy a passionate kiss!
[Unless you mention dark stuff like divorce, but that's too much of a downer to throw in here.
Uh.]
... The end.

What if the bride and groom don't really have families? Is it okay to just invite friends?
Friends don't get weirded out by the passionate kiss at the end, right?
