Questions on Marriage

Manga: Ouran High School Host Club
Character: Tamaki
Genre: Comedy
Setting: At Tamaki's house after having accidently kissed Haruhi.
Monologue:

Pick up Kyoya, I guess he stayed up all night again. How could he be so insensitive, when his best friend languished though a sleepless night. Doesn’t he know he ought to rise early once in a while? So a dear friend can cry on his shoulder? After running 25 laps around the school last night at full speed I can barely move my body and on top of that yesterday Haruhi and I kissed. What should I do? What should I do? What should I do? It happened in true shojo manga style, the legendary “ Three –part best senrio” but that almost never happens in real life! Ah! So it was the legendary accidental kiss! What should I do?! If I follow the conventional Shojo manga wisdom, I should show up again as a new transfer student in Hauhi’s class, but I already attend the same school! Oh marriage! That’s it! We should get married! I’m the kind of man who takes responsibility for what he’s done! You help too Antoinette! We need a church that can hold our ceremony immediately! No wait… maybe Haruhi would prefer a Shinto style wedding!? Alright let’s do this! I’ll look for a location that combines both a chapel and a Shinto shrine, so you hurry up and make the guest list for me  from the people in this address book.

Sorry Antoinette, I am aware of reality. The new Tamaki is not as stupid as the old one was. To Haruhi that kiss probably ment nothing at all, by now she’s probably forgotten all about it. I’m sure no lovelorn sighs are dreamily passing from those sweet lips that pressed mine. Their probably just eating natto with rice. On the other hand I agonize for hours. Last night over whether to even brush my teeth.
A not about this dialogue, this is from the official Shojo Beat Translation, not the fan sub. That is why the online translation provided below is different.
