The latin word Ego can probably be dropped and the latin phrase could read Sum matrimonium, proinde imbibo.

I am marriage, consequently I imbibe. I think it might have been an attempt at "I got married, therefore I drink." Ceci n'est pas un seing.

Good day, zmjezhd. Right the person is going to be (or got) married, therefore he (or she) needs a stif drink.
