This has been gnawing at my brain since I first heard it
because
And the way Arthur says it is so honest, so serious, so earnest. He's exhausted but he makes sure to look at Merlin's right in the eye. Like this comes from the bottom of his soul and he absolutely, desperately needs Merlin to understand (and considering he most likely knew he was going to die at this point, well). Look at Merlin's face. There's such solemnity and vulnerability in this scene. It hurts to watch.

trust me if i could have picked anyone but uther for this i would have
but alas i could remember no other wedding scene where they actually got to this line
arthur is so beautiful when he opens up about his love and affection
he has such a tender heart but grew up with so much on his shoulders and such a piece of garbage for a father
say what you want about bbc's merlin but they gave us top tier acting
also the contrast between the two scenes here pls
the first one you're looking at two clowns
there's nothing real about it even though it's a royal wedding
the second one is in the middle of nowhere with nothing but the forest as witness and it's spontaneous and honest and pure
and you know he means it with his whole being
and in the first scene catrina doesn't give a shit about uther's feelings she's just using him
meanwhile you can tell merlin's entire WORLD is being turned inside-out
and you know he'll never forget this
this means everything to him
now you may be asking yourself why i am comparing those two scenes they are unrelated
and the answer is
because i am unwell
