Miss Brahms: She's worried about the cost of the reception. It's the bride's family what pays and she's the only one left.
Mr Humphries: Catering can cost a fortune these days.
Miss Brahms: Well, I know. She started out getting a quote for champagne and smoked salmon, and now he's working on meat paste and brown ale.
Miss Brahms: You should see Mrs Slocombe. It's a beautiful frock; it makes her look about sixteen.
Captain Peacock: A remarkable garment indeed!
Mr Humphries: I'd marry her myself, but I think she has enough trouble.

The allusion in the title of the episode is to the statement the minister says during a marriage ceremony. "Do you take this man to be your lawfully wedded husband?"
