A poor but honest knight wants to marry a princess. The king tells the knight that he can pick 1 slip of paper from a box with 2 papers in it. 1 paper says marrige, the other 1 death. However the princess whispers to the knight that both slips say death. But the knight and princess are wed. How is this so?

Both slips of paper said death and other sides said do you part or die.. Now kiss the bride.
