Chapter 1 - I Do

Approximately one hundred and fifty guests had gathered in the church, all to witness the marriage of Lucas Scott and Brooke Davis. Among those guests included just about all of their closest family and friends. Nathan and Haley, Jake and Peyton, Whitey, Rachel, Skills, Bevin, Tim, Junk, Mouth. Karen and Andy, Lily, Jamie…they were all there to watch Lucas and Brooke become one.

It was a long time coming. Through all the ups and downs they had been through in their relationship, one thing had always remained - love. After breaking up during senior year of highschool, Lucas had dated Peyton only to realize that her heart had belonged to Jake, and his heart had belonged to Brooke. They had eventually gotten back together and that was when they realized they were meant to be. Lucas knew Brooke had been the one for him all along, and vice versa.

Brooke wore a beautiful red dress, designed by Vera Wang. She had it specifically made in red because that was the special color of her and Lucas and she knew that was the color Lucas loved on her most. Lucas wore an elegant black tuxedo, with a white shirt and a red tie to coordinate with Brooke's dress.

As they stood together at the altar, Brooke smiled, feeling her chin quivering. She knew she was going to be a mess by the time the vows were over. "Get a grip, Davis. Hold the waterworks till after you say your vows" she told herself. It was hard, but she managed. Brooke took a deep breath and looked Lucas in his eyes. He was so gorgeous; he hadn't changed one bit since she'd met him back in sophomore year of high school. Their relationship had been a wild roller coaster over the years, yet today they stood before each other and were going to make a commitment to each other, one that would last a lifetime. Boy had they come a LONG way.

"Lucas and Brooke have chosen to say their own vows. Brooke?" the reverend prompted.

Taking a deep breath, Brooke began speaking.

"You were my first love, the broody and handsome boy who saw right through me and always believed in me. We took our separate journeys to live and to learn. I guess we had to grow up a bit before we could find our way back together. But I know that all the mistakes we made and the difficulties, they were all leading up to this very moment. I stand before you today and I promise to love and cherish you forever. You are my best friend, my prince, my soul mate. I love you, Lucas Scott"

Lucas stared deeply into Brooke's eyes. Ever so ready to say his vows, his eyes began welling up with tears. He hadn't expected to cry, but he just couldn't help himself. After everything they had been through, all the laughs, all the heartbreaks, the romance - Lucas felt he had it too good. Today he was going to marry his one true love. The girl who had come into his life and changed it forever. The girl who laughed at his corny jokes, even when no one else did. The girl who had written him 82 letters. The girl who bought out his fun side, and showed him that real love did in fact exist.

Lucas took hold of Brooke's hand, smiling. She smiled back at him, and could feel her heart rapidly pounding. Her entire life, Brooke had waited for this very moment.

"Brooke you are so beautiful. You're so generous, loving, and selfless. You were such a surprise to me, like a door that opened unexpectedly. And you showed me strength, courage, loyalty. I look back at all that time we were apart and I'm grateful for it because it made me realize how much I need you... how much I love you. You don't even realize how amazing you are, and I'm going to show you just that. I thank God everyday that you were bought into my life because you make me a better man. I loved you then and I love you now. I'll love you always. Pretty girl."

Brooke smiled as tears of joy filled her eyes. Lucas' vows had swept her off her feet. She was in a complete fog after that and everything that happened next was all a blur.


An hour later, the wedding party had gathered together for the reception.

"B Davis….Scott!" a voice called.

Brooke turned around to see her maid of honors and best friends, Peyton and Haley standing there.

"Did you tell Lucas?" Haley whispered.

"Shhh, no not yet."

"Brooke! You have to tell him!" Peyton hissed.

"I know. But do you really think this is the time or place to do that? I wasn't planning on dropping the bomb until after the honeymoon"

"I'm not so sure that's a good idea" Haley said uncertainly.

"Look, I appreciate you guys looking out for me. But I know what I'm doing, and I'll tell Lucas when the time is right. Today's our wedding day, I don't wanna think about anything but that"

Peyton and Haley nodded slowly.

Lucas cleared his throat as he approached the table.

"Excuse me ladies, may I have a word with my wife?"

"You are so greedy, Luke" Haley teased.

"You're going to have her for the rest of your life!" Peyton chastised.

"Hey! It's bad luck to make fun of the groom on his wedding day" Lucas exclaimed. Peyton and Haley giggled and walked away leaving the newlyweds alone.

"Dance with me" Lucas held his hand out and Brooke smiled at him, standing up and taking her hand into her husband's. They made their way to the center of the floor, beginning to slow dancing to 98 Degrees' "I Do Cherish You". It had been one of Brooke's favorite songs since she was a teenager, and since then she had dreamed she would dance to that song with the man of her dreams on her wedding day. It was hard to believe that moment had come, and she wasn't going to let it pass her by.

"All I am, all I'll be

Everything in this world

All that I'll ever need

Is in your eyes

Shining at me

When you smile I can feel

All my passion unfolding

Your hand brushes mine

And a thousand sensations

Seduce me 'cause I

I do

Cherish you

For the rest of my life

You don't have to think twice

I will love you still

From the depths of my soul

It's beyond my control

I've waited so long to say this to you

If you're asking do I love you this much

I do"

"Seriously? We're dancing to a 98 Degrees song?" Lucas chuckled.

"Yes, and if you have something against it, I have no problem calling up Nick Lachey" Brooke joked.

"Ouch" Lucas put his hand on his heart and pretended to be hurt.

Brooke giggled.

"In my world, before you

I lived outside my emotions

Didn't know where I was going

'Till that day I found you

How you opened my life

To a new paradise

In a world torn by change

Still with all my heart

'Till my dying day

I do

cherish you

For the rest of my life

You don't have to think twice

I will love you still

From the depths of my soul

It's beyond my control

I've waited so long to say this to you

If you're asking do I love you this much

Baby I do"

"So this is it, huh? Our life together has begun" Brooke realized.

"Forever has begun. And I know there are going to be some bumps along the road and its not always going to be easy. But I promise you Brooke, any surprises that come our way; they'll be okay because I will always love you. Don't ever forget that okay? You're the most amazing-"

Lucas was cut off when Brooke pulled him into a long, passionate kiss. "I love you" she whispered, a tear falling from her eyes. She buried herself in his arms and the two of them danced the evening away.
