The sealing ceremony for Apollo and Serina is transcribed below.<br />

==Notes==<br />
<br />
*The term "seal" is derived from the [[w:Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints|the Mormon priesthood]] and their use of "sealers", celebrants who officiate marriages held in their temples.<br />
*Series creator and LDS member [[Glen Larson]] used this and other LDS Church references in creating the [[Original Series]].<br />
*It is assumed by many that the reference to the 'Lord of Kobol' is a continuity error, and is actually a reference to the Lords of Kobol.<br />
