Well, the answer to this question should be very obvious - there is only one option that even remotely talks about marriage and that is the second choice - "The very essence of romance is uncertainty. If ever I get married, I'll certainly try to forget the fact."

The first example is about music, the third about Gwendolen loving bread and butter, and the final one about reading an inscription in somebody's cigarette case. So none of those choices even mentions marriage.
