"A sailor and his pregnant fianceĢe stand at left before a clergyman in a white surplice who stands at right, reading from papers inscribed 'Matrimony', and asking 'Wilt thou take this Woman to be thy wedded wife'; the sailor responds in affronted manner, asking 'do you doubt the word of a sailor'; an assisting cleric at right, wearing dark clothes and bands, drops his book in surprise."--British Museum online catalogue.
