The story so far
Everything you need before watchingJafar already sits as sultan. He stages a palace wedding and has Jasmine asked, in full ceremonial English, whether she accepts him as husband. A parrot heckles her to say yes. She stalls — then the lamp is grabbed, and the hall turns into a chase: carpet, monkey, staff, screaming. For a moment the lamp is hers. Then Jafar has it back and wants the genie to watch them punished. The vows were never a question.
