Instead of offering sanitized marital advice, they spent the hour detailing their specific anatomical quirks and reading the bizarrely intense love notes they write each other during routine grocery runs.<br><br>Among the standout musical numbers is their graphic title track, a song skewering celebrity culture, and a reading of their actual, cat-themed wedding vows.
