In this chapter, we learn that the pirates are planning to marry Cassandra in the middle of the night. They're going to have a pre-arranged ceremony in the morning, and then they'll go back to the real wedding in the afternoon. Cassandra is drunk, and she's going to need to be calmed down. She's not going to be able to control herself any longer, Cassandra says. She wants a traditional wedding, but the pirates won't let her have it. They just want to get married before Cassandra falls asleep. The pirates are going to give her the kiss she wants, but they're also going to skip the wedding vows, which is a sin, because it's her birthday.
