Quotes

Sheldon: You know, we did get dressed up and come all the way to city hall.
Amy: What are you thinking?
Sheldon: I have always wanted a permit to dispose of hazardous waste.
Amy: Let's do it.

Dr. Koothrappali: I'm just saying, if you replace Howard with a 22-year-old grad student, your confidence will soar.

Amy: Instead of throwing confetti, we'll release butterflies.
Sheldon: Airborne worms! Have you lost your mind?

Sheldon: Amy, I never thought I'd want to marry anyone. So the fact that I found you is astonishing. It's-it's like finding dark matter, except they're looking for dark matter. I wasn't even looking for you. S-So you're even better than dark matter.
Amy: (chuckles) Sheldon...
Sheldon: Plus, plus, you interact with light, so I can see you. And, also, you don't account for the missing mass in the universe. Oh, and...
Amy: Okay, I think you're getting caught up on the ways I'm not like dark matter.

Amy: Okay, let's see what we've got so far. I arrive in a Little House on the Prairie style horse-drawn buggy.
Sheldon: Where you are met with an honor guard of stormtroopers.
Amy: Do you think that might be jarring, going from wholesome pioneers to space Nazis?
Sheldon: I see what you're saying. You're thinking that you should arrive in a replica of Luke Skywalker's landspeeder.
Amy: It's not what I'm thinking, and to save you the trouble for the future, it will never be what I'm thinking.

Sheldon: What do you think will make the wedding worse for Amy: a cake made with salt instead of sugar or a cake iced with congealed gravy?
Leonard: That is a trick question. The answer is: you as the groom.
Sheldon: Neither of them will be the actual cake. I'm just using it as a bargaining chip to get Amy to agree to the whole wedding party getting rings and us getting one ring to rule them all.

Notes and Trivia

Sheldon for the second time gets upset that butterflies might be released at a wedding and he calls them "airborne worms". Penny mentioned it when she and Leonard were planning their wedding in The Commitment Determination (2015).

Sheldon mentions the new Star Wars movie is coming out, referring to Star Wars: Episode VIII - The Last Jedi (2017).

Sheldon wants his wedding vows to be in Klingon. In The Countdown Reflection (2012), he tried to do Howard and Bernadette's wedding speech in Klingon, and when told to do it in English, he mentioned that Klingon loses something in translation.

Title reference: Raj believes that Howard is eroding his confidence with his incessant pranking.
