About to Marry Diane to Prevent from going to Vietnam

Here's the Basic Story behind this, Im a soldier in 1968, and if Im Married, i go to Germany. if Im NOT Married, I go straight up to the front lines and probably come home in a body bag. my friend Diane from collage has said she's going to marry me... and we're but an hour away from our wedding... im getting cold feet... here's what's going on:

Diane opens the door for me.
Me-"That dress looks amazing on you."
Diane- *Smiles* "its bad luck, you know."
Me- "What is?"
Diane- "To see the bride in her wedding dress before the wedding."
Me- *covers eyes with hand* "That better?"
Diane- *laughs* "Silly." *walks over to bed and sighs*
Me- "What's wrong?"
Diane- *sighs again* "Nothing...Its just, i when i was a little girl, my wedding was always going to be the most important day of my life... you know, its every little girl's dream, White Dress, Flower girls, a Cake taller than you! its just... im going to be missing all of that."
Me- *takes Diane's hand* "We can still have all of that, this is just a certificate. you know that, right? we can still have your big wedding."
Diane- *nods*
Me- *goes back to fixing outfit/hair in mirror.* "Im Not so sure about this after all..." *After pause* "Diane, i cant help feeling like... well, Like im taking something away from you."*turns around from mirror* "Something Sacred. You're only supposed to do this once, like our parents. its not frivolous, Not disposable."
Diane- "Look, I am okay with this, In my heart... and in my head...okay? its my choice."
*sighs and takes my hands* "If marrying you tonight... keeps you from going to Vietnam then its worth it."

Me- *sighs* well, look on the bright side... be getting 135 bucks from the government every month... at least until the annulment.
Diane- *whispers/on the verge of tears* And what if i dont want an Annulment?"
Me- *looks up confused and partially shocked.* *whispers* "What?"
(This part i cant post cause it would get into too much detail... so im skipping to the wedding.)

Later we go to the ball room because a famous person is coming to give a speech and everyone in the hotel shows up.
we're waiting for the famous person to come out and dancing/chatting.
Me- *sighs* "I just realized, i just married you and I dont know hardly anything about you! I dont know your Birthday,
Diane-"August 3rd." *smiles*
Me-"I dont know your favorite food, color, your favorite Book or movie...
I dont even know if your Belly Button is an Innie or an Outie!"
Diane-"An Innie.... and i am surprised you didnt know that..." *pauses in remembrance of the hour before... then Giggles adorably*

k, that's all i wanna do.
its late, and im just attempting to entertain myself.
bye.
