Pamela and Beto are getting married in a very simple way at the civil registry. The Justice of the Peace extends the documentation and the happy bride and groom eagerly sign. As witnesses, Beto called one of the warehouse colleagues and his wife.

After everything has been signed, the justice of the peace announces with a smile: "Congratulations, Roberto Reis and Pamela Chaves; now, Pamela Reis: by the power of the State, you are now husband and wife!"

The witnesses and the clerk clap their hands. Beto and Pamela kiss and celebrate.
